Very Nice Upgrades For Sure!

Remember, if you need to angle the pipes up or down you can install one 3/8" bolt and three 5/16" bolts to allow the pipes to be turned up or down. You can even use all 5/16" bolts if you need even more adjustment (up or down) of the pipes.

In addition, if you need to do any movement in or out from the body, then consider contacting Mark Reynolds at Breeze Automotive for some of his side pipe wedges. I've got them and man are they great.

See the link below should you need them:

Good Luck From The Dark Dart Side!

Looks great! Like the metal accents/trim along the sides of the tranny cover. I’m in the middle of a build right now just west of you. Would love to meet up.

Very nice upgrades. That's making good use of our winter time.

Our cars are very similar. I just had my black side pipes coated by Jet-Hot and love the results. Thinking seriously about those cup holders. :D

The upgrades look great.

Did you find someone to do your brake upgrade? Hope so.

I did my first go-cart about a week ago and have 7 miles on the chassis. Going to put the body on here in the next couple days.

I recomend the cup holder. PERFECT for bottled H2o. And, before I installed the holder... took it shopping with me (4 diffent stores!) to find the perfect stainless coffee mug.

nope, did not find anyone capable for the brake upgrade. I'm still looking.

Hello Cruzz, that would be great. Come on over and we can talk what I have on my car that you might want to implement (or not implement) into your build.
The sides rails (Aluminum) of my tranny cover turned out great! They are buffed/polished to a mirror finish. My only concern is with possible scratches since the seat belts knock againt it. However, if they do get marked up... I'll just get them chromed (more durable).

A friend (not on the forum) purchased a used MK4 without power brakes. Didn't like the braking without and decided to add them without removing the body. Said it took a long time, working in the limited space. And no, doesn't want to do it again. Sorry

I drove mine about 600 miles (body on) before paint. Took the body off to paint and made several modifications while I could... power brakes was first on the list.
