Talking go kart rx

yeah,but getting a cheap rx that IS in one piece is rare.I have a 88 mazda 323 I can sell you! 1.6 liters of raw fury! HA,I cant belive I said that.seriously though,look on e bay.I have seen cheap parts cars on there,but usually the engine is"locked up" so they say.Personally,isn't the rx already kinda go-karty.I have to use an elevator to get in and out at the ATM.

I have a 12A sitting in my garage, I was thinking about building a go kart to put it in also. Last I looked at the engine it had a lot of coolant in the rear rotor though (engine ran fine before I pulled it, it only had 20k on it since it was rebuilt). Im not sure if it got in there when I pulled it out of the car or what, but it made me decide not to try and use it.

Oh, by the way... I dont live in a miniature pop can like your post suggests
