5.0 V8 go kart: The Mynx

[XCwillo]

My old mans mate owns a garage in an industrial estate in Hervey Bay, and every now and then i help out and do some work to my car while he tinkers with his CNC routers for kitchen designing.

But what the garage was originally used for, was to build The Mynx.

The Mynx is a 100% designed and built in the Garage by Alf Kalkaus, founder of Austuff Manufacturing. It features a Fiber glass body like that of an old Morgan, but thats where the similarities end.
Its powered by a Ford 5.0 litre V8 Fuel injected engine putting out roughly over 200 kw at the rear wheels. Mind you this is a 2 seater fiber glass car, It handles like a go cart and due to its incredible light weight body its shoots off like a rocket.
It has all leather seats, sound system, convertable roof and was made to order to fit your own unique styling preferences.
3 of these where made, in automatic aswell as manual and there are plans for a sequential shift the same as that out of a BA falcon.

It uses all perfermance brand parts and anything that isnt was made by hand, and even me driving it for my Formal last year, it had everyone thinking it was a morgan untill the deistinctive V8 rumble bellowed from the exhuast system Alf had made entirely himself right down to the headers, to get exactly what was needed.

At the moment the website is down due to a lack of interest as the only advertising it got was at the odd car show. Heres the description that was on the site
