January 2011
First we decided to change some features and the go-cart. We decided to move the steering wheel so it sits lower. Then we took the old seat out and made one that you sit at more of at an angle. And then we wanted to rebuild the roll bar around everything again. We are trying to make the car lighter and more aerodynamic.

First we cut of the back off the roll cage so that we could rebuild that piece, and also to make more room for us when we put the new seat in. After that we took the old seat and started to take measurements for the new seat. Then we went and cut out the old seat supports for that we had room to weld new ones on. Then we took some boards and cut out the top and bottom support pieces then we took some round steel, bent it with the angle we wanted, and bolted on the support boards to it. Then we bolted the front of the seat on the frame and welded some support bars to the back of the chair. Now we are currently working on the roll cage modifications.
