We think we’re naming it Bad Dog. Am loving this little open topped go kart! Looking for N14 tools if you have any. Thanks!

Welcome - I have 2 R57s. They are cool.

Those are some wheels - tires look like rubber bands. What size are they ?

Love that color! I am a big fan of the looks on an R57 with the type 2 and 3 Aero kit

Thanks for kind words! The shoes are Pirelli Pzero Run Flats, 205/40 R18. I've heard all sorts of bad reports about the mini run flats, but these seem pretty good. Ride doesn't seem awful, considering what this car was built for.

I know they break traction quite nicely..

I dare say you will be very pleasantly surprised when you move away from run flats. I have 17s and have heard that the 18s are a little rougher on the road - vs perfect for track.
