Default Club Car DS budget build!

Ok so I been looking around the forum for a couple months now. I finally got my cart to build. It came withe lake house we bought. It is bone stock now other than fog lights added. It is a 95 model with a gas 9hp Kawasaki motor. Man is it slow. My plan is to trick it out for under a $1000.

gragner, zip-tying the governor spring for more speed is by far the BEST thing I've ever done to a gas cart, and it costs pennies!! Here's a good thread with pics and the procedures for doing it safely.

I picked up a Yamaha G22 about a month ago, and I'm trying to keep the costs low also.
Here's a list of the items I've picked up...(so far).

$520 12" aluminum wheels w/ 23" all terrain tires. (low profile, street tires are quite a bit cheaper)

$220 6" All Sports lift

$ 40 Up To Par vinyl seat covers

$ 50 Grant steering wheel & mount (summitracing)

$125 Light kit

$ 60 Diamond plate rockers

$ 75 Paint

$ 0.10 Zip Tie

So I've got around $1,100 in mods so far. I could have went with low profile tires, no lift kit, and less expensive light kit (or none at all) and had much less invested.

All depends on what you want to do with it. Looks like you have a good foundation to start with.

That budget is not even addressing the mechanical upgrades needed for the lift kit....machined clutches, upgraded springs and drive belt, etc.
