New to forum...no luck with search.

[moveqik]

I just purchased a 1991 EZ Go cart that was stretched to a six seater. I will confess that my knowledge of golf carts is limited to the carts I ride at the course.

Thba said....this is what I am looking to do....

5" lift
Wheels & tires to match the lift
I need a roof and frame

It is the 9HP motor. Anything that I can add to the motor for more power? i am on another car forum and we take some cheap shots at these types of questions so I understand if they are old news. Just please point me int he right direction. thanks in advance!

Welcome to BGW !!!
:-First off, Forget the other forum, u won't need it anymore....but yes, cheap shots happen here too. ALL in good fun Though!

If you have a stretched cart, then chances are it has been modified. This can make finding a roof to fit a challenge. Will an 80 inch top cover what u need to cover?
5" lift? 6 is common and probably cheaper?
That's alot of cart to push around with 9 hp. There are power mods available. But IMHO, the minimal gains they offer are not worth the money. I 'm sure someone will argue. But u will have to totally rebuild the 9 hp to get more hp and longevity out of it, so why not bite the bullet and big block it?
Hope this helps and again WELCOME.

Thanks for the quick reply! As for the other forum, it is for another hobby, not carts.

I have looked around and found an 88" roof that should work. It is the frame pieces that I am stumped with. I can't find them anywhere. Any suggestions?

Having never done a stretch...I don't know what you need exactly. I would look for used roof supports at a cart repair shop or dealer. That's where I find stock take-offs. Good luck

Welcome moveqik! You could switch your engine to the 350cc model. It's a direct bolt in. You can google several rebuilders that will exchange yours for the bigger model.

I"ll check around for the top brackets.

As for the 350cc engine, a quick search landed me on a $850 unit. Is that what I should expect to pay?? Sounds spendy for a golf cart engine. But then again, what do I know....this is my first cart.

i made my frame out of 3/4 inch conduit pipe for my stretch project. all the carts in the pics i made of conduit pipe cheap way out.

[scottyb]

GP that's great. Looks like galv. material?
3/4 inch EMT?


Moveqik,
That is in the ballpark. They only go up from about there.

[groundpounder]

yes it is

I recently purchased a 6" SPINDLE lift kit from rainbow custom carts and also bought the 12" rims and 23" Alltrail tires. There are site sponsors that willl provide the same equipment. You should look them up.

I am personally quite happy with the results There are better and more expensive "A-Arm" kits. They will give you more travel vis a vis the spindle lift kit, but are 3x as expensive. It all depends on your budget and your application..
