Hey what's up, I just bought my buggy about a week and a half ago off craigslist for 400 and new to the buggy world. I've been browsing on this site looking at the best cheapest upgrades for acceleration but not sure what's a good brand to go with and also I don't know what kind of bug I have, I searched the vin# and a kandi popped up that looks almost identical to mine. I was told by the previous owner that he replaced the carb (looks fairly new), cdi, and ignition plug.
So far i cleaned up the harness because I found a few cut wires that was just twisted together, I also bought some turning signals because the rear was missing, turning signal flasher(will need help wiring that up), new auto zone brake light(that was missing as well), and I changed the oil which was pretty Nasty there was metal shaving in the oil, so I'm not to sure if it's worth fixing up the motor.
My plans for the buggy:
Get it registered in California
New paint
New steering rack, unless I can replace the boots
New ball joints
New suspension
Need to front tires 19x7.00 - 8nhs
New fender fairings
Need 109" reverse cable
New Brighter headlights
And of course some more power to wake this motor up
If anyone can help me find parts I'm looking for at a decent price I'd appreciate it.
