    My buddies family had a junkyard when I was a kid and he would let us bomb the yard truck around out there. It was a Dodge Omni no doors or hatch and we had a blast in that thing. It had duel wheels on the front and you couldn't get it stuck we tried!!!!😁 This was back in the 80's. Good times.

    That’s the best way for a kid to learn to drive! I had an old Malibu that my brother had hit four or five deer with. I finally got Dad to solder up the radiator and let it eat in the pasture. I taught myself to parallel park, power brake, drifting corners, and do Rockford turns. Perfect. Good for you, Dalton and JD!

    • @crazyfingers_kc

      I grew up in Michigan, so drifting the snow covered roads was a daily occurrence with my dad. When I got my first car, I went out to an empty parking lot in the winter and did the same exact thing.
      My younger cousin was doing donuts with his dad's old 94 Chevy farm truck when he was around 7 years old, lmao. It definitely made us all better drivers

That or just make it permanent that way ole JD there want go into a turn to sharp and roll outta the car. Hell I'd just get like 2 or 3 pieces of 3ft round pipe and weld it in between the door frame and front fender!! Ya know, Racecar stuff!!!!😂😂😂😂

    That, or a set of the old Buckshots, or Co-op Grip Spurs would take this kart to the next few levels. Used of course, would be better. Also, bashing the lower spring perches a touch may grant some more wheel clearance. Or a set of the cheapest coilovers from the Jungle site, if You're feeling frisky.

    Relays can produce a large voltage spike when they are switched off due to the coil de-energising. Resistors or diodes are sometimes fitted across the coil of the relay to stop/reduce these spikes travelling back into the control circuit and damaging sensitive components.

    Junkyard FWD Sportage Kia- Hyundai Crossover spindles and struts would have gotten lift/ clearance for cheap. Those FWD Sportages litter junkyards..... only possible issue, drill different bolt pattern on top of strut tower caps . That particular FWD Kia, Mazda Platform which Kia was using under royalty- licence agreement,so a proper insane lift/ clearance is definitely cheaply doable.
