M350ZB Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Right guys, As a few of you know i am a very keen karter , and allthough have not been for a couple of weeks, am off out on a few events soon. One of my mate's who has been coming along with me, now wants to get the full gear and what not. He is actually a good karter, ill give him that. Thing is he is on a very tight budget, as struggling with his flat and what not. Anyone got any helmets/gloves/boots/suits and so on ? Thought might be worth a punt ? Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Ebay is the usual place for good deals, but you might have to wait a while for them to come up. I got some Sparco boots (RRP £200+) for £24 brand new and some gloves for a fiver (again Sparco / Nomex). Other than that, its a case of buying new, and I dont have a clue where to get the stuff from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
