You have to put the 17 on it. No other number has any place on a restored DAP. Great video Des. We've loved every one of them so far!
There is a few votes for 17. I think it’s a winner 🏆
Finally a PR vid! now we just need more podcasts🎉🎉🎉
Oh yeah sorry bout that. Few delays on the pod. Maybe one just in time for Xmas 🎅
I mean that with the upmost respect I’m sure your other followers will agree we will devour any content as soon as it gets released 😂
Can't wait to hear this beast roaring !
Won’t be this sorry bro. The final episode will be engine set up and track time !!!
@@PowerRepublichave you thought about applying PPF to the floor tray ? It’s too shinny to get all scratched :)
Got another one for trackside. This one is just for show room
woow,that price is almost insane,here in italy the cost of not only the material but also the kart,due to the condition,for this rebuild with all the component that you have used it would have been no more than $1800, more than 7000$ is an insane price,the kart looking amazing tho
Yeah I guess the build is 7600 less the 3000 but price. But yeah it’s up there for sure
love the tyre changing mount
Yeah makes it easy if the wheel doesn’t move
Looking stunning Dez, you are allmost obligated to take this kart next year May to Jesolo (Italy)… 😂
Okay less do it. Should I start a go fund me ?
@@PowerRepublic I think you should… 😂
the big Greyhound! Looks Great Des
, probably want the seat 6mm below the chassis unless your running maximum low on the axle and stubs. just take one black spacer out
Yeah, that's right - gotta get the seat height right. I’ll she how she runs first and if I’m 2 wheelin’ I’ll drop the seat for sure
@@PowerRepublic unfotuntaly with all the Lecont rubber on track ive been 2 wheeling alot even in Clubby Mg reds, but especially Yellows
i reckon des will be running it 4wd lifted height being too scared to put a scratch on the rails or the seat 😂😂😂😂
5:59 will you get better results if it’s perfectly straight? Asking for a friend
😂. Yeah for sure straight without the dangle. But it should straighten out by itself
Love it
Thanks for watching. Can’t wait to drive it now !!!
I’m fairly new to karting and am wondering am I supposed to have play in my steering column? If not how do I fix that ? At 4:50 the red piece holding the column, I can move my column a tiny bit in that piece.
Yeah nah not really. Try a new one as they are Cheap as. Otherwise bring the safety bush up under it tight to stop it moving
@@PowerRepublic thank you !
Looks really sweet, just a last finishing touch, trim all the bolts down so just a couple of threads are through the nut, please it deserves it.
Yeah copy that. Bit rushed on the rear bar bolts and number plate. You have a good eye 👊
Could only be #1
Thanks legend. I want that too !!!!
# 17 A DaSilvia
