First off, being a newcomer to the buggy world it's nice to have a site like this for quick education purposes and a little comradery.
Now the good news...I just bought my first buggy, a Carbide 150cc. I believe it is a 2008 and is stock (not for long). I plan on putting the following mods on it: uni filter, cdi (not sure which one) , iridium plug, high output coil and jets (don't know what size). I am also interested in new tires/wheels but I don't know where to go or what's best. I have also noticed that the coil overs bottom out all the time. Is this normal and what are some good replacements. I live in the Austin area and will be doing a lot of trail riding and hill climbing, hopefully this helps in answering my questions. I also prefer torque and speed out of the corners but I don't want to sacrifice too much top end. I know, I'm asking a lot but I have fallen in love with these buggies and my son has too.
Thanks for any advice/help and I look forward to further conversation.
