Default Just bought a 2000.5 DS

Just bought a 2000.5 club car DS for $1800 which I think is pretty decent considering prices around me and how fast carts were selling.

Serial is A0038 so DS, year 2000 and 38th week of production right?

Doesn’t have a back seat so that will be the first thing along with new rear leaf springs (I read medium are better than HD as they aren’t as harsh). I heard madjax seats are shallow, what’s the best brand?

Future projects might be a 3” lift and new wheels and street tires. Also interested in alltrax controller for performance but also security as I think you can lock it from your phone.

TIA!

Yes, definitely go with the medium duty leaves!

Default Re: Just bought a 2000.5 DS

So ended up with a 2002 DS (IQ model). It was fixed up by a local guy who I bought it from, new brakes, motor, controller, new batteries (January 2020). Front body cowl has seen better days so some bondo work might be in my future unless I can find a used front. Having someone update the speed code as its not super fast now and hopefully that will be good enough.

I think I want to do a small 3" lift and some new tires wheels later on, who makes the best 3" lift, rhos, jakes?

Whats an ideal tire/wheel size? I was reading on a vendor site and it seemed like a total height of 20" was ideal. Looking for some wheels with a classic design (bullet wheel or one with a bunch of spokes).

Cart has a back seat but doesn't flip down though the hinge is there but seat is just attached to the base, are there individual parts so I could convert it to a flip down style?

Sorry for all the question and thanks?

Congrats on the cart!

I wouldn't mess around with the $100 speed codes, just get a high speed magnet for $25.

But if you want to keep regen, which I did, you need the speed code.

Got the speed code. Its ok for now but I am going to upgrade to a new controller eventually but want to get some other things fixed first. Lift and new wheels will come before controller as hopefully that will net a couple more MPH.

Looking at a A frame 3-4" lift, what size wheel would be optimum for this setup (seems like 10-12" wheel is ideal with 20"-22" tires on a 3-4" lift). Whats the best A frame lift, jakes, all sports, rhox?
