scrap EZ GO
Just want to say I have been lurking for a while(since '0. This is my second cart. My first was a bone stock '01 Yamaha sparky. I purchased this(it did not look like this when I bought it) '98 EZ-GO from a older lady for 100 bucks. She had her grand kids ride it when they were around. The original motor was toast so I pieced it out and sold it on E-bay. I call this a scrap cart because I did not spend much on it. I believe I have a little over a grand into it. I got a 390cc from Harbor Freight. $175.00(Easter special with 20% coupon). Clutch and belt from CPP($320). 27" swamper TSL's from craigslist for $150.00. Buckshot wheels from E-bay(300.00).The steel that I used for the suspension was all stuff that I had laying around. There are parts from old trucks(if you look closely at the support bars that hold the rear of the 4 link, they are old bumper brackets off of an old truck). One of the Heim joints are from an old Jeep project. Two of the rear shocks are from an older blaster, and the other two rear shocks are from an old Honda CB750K. The front shocks I had laying in my shop from an old Chevy. The paint job was from cans I had laying around. I recovered all the seats with material I had left over from another project. I am totally addicted to this cart. It is a real head turner. Yeah I know you guys would probably say that it is under powered but all I do with this cart is CRUISE around my neiborhood, a big block may be in the works. Most of my driving is on flat dirt roads. It does do around 30mph.Dont get me wrong but I do wheel it a bit too. My two daughters absolutly love this thing. Let me know what you guys think.[

Re: scrap EZ GO
It does ride a little on the stiff side, but it is not really bad.

Re: scrap EZ GO
Thanks for all the replies. I plan on adding some front lights, a small windshield, an intercom (for the kids to play with), and some other odds and ends.
