I agree, I used to have a spool in my 84 Monte Carlo SS. I drove the car to Ruston everyday to school and I went through rear tires fast, other than that it didn't bother me to bad. I eventually swapped it out and went back to a posi. Just depends on how much you plan on driving the car.

Pulled the seat and cage off the kart. I think the cage is going to stay off and just build a nice hoop over the top of my seat when i decide which one im going to use.

Shane, seriously it looks like fun but looks dangerous as hell. That chassis not made for that kind of power. Watch your *** on it.
ah hell it probably wont even accelerate, just burn tires all the way down the road

Steve, i dont plan on rolling but for those just in case situations im going to put a hoop behind my seat and run a brace to each side of the kart to keep it in place if something happens. As for the frame, **** it lol. It this think snaps somewhere ill just take it apart and find a motorcycle frame. 
mconway68w, No i didnt ride it. The guy i got it from never finished it and just wanted it out of his way. So $100 later the quad is pulled apart and the kart is going together.
I bolted tracks to the seat and bolted it in today along with putting the steering wheel in the middle of the kart. Its coming along nicely. I plan on extending the swing arm 8 inches and building motor mounts this weekend. Ill post pics as i go.

Yep, ran a spool in my moser for a while. Tore up my tires pretty quickly. Also, made me have to check adjustments on my rear suspension all the time. Lock nuts would come loose every now and then. Went back to posi as soon as I could.

LOL not sayin that, but at a glance it needs a couple body parts, 4 barrel spear gun, some KC's, and a side mounted N2O bottle with direct as soon as you turn the **** injection and you'd have a good candidate for a modern day version of the movie.
