Bought my first buggy today. Time to create an account :)

Today I took ownership of a Crossfire 150. Tomorrow I will be taking ownership of a Crossfire 150r. I figured that it was time to create an account on the board that has been a great resource for information. I also like the general vibe of the community. Everyone seems to be really cool =D>

I'll be taking pics this weekend. I'll post them in this thread in a couple of days.

The 150r is in great condition. Only 6-10 hrs (or so they've told me). Which is nice considering that the 150 needs some work. Here's a list of what's wrong with it:
No Ebrake cable
No brakes (new hardware installed, but never finished)
Bad Electronic Choke (gotta use starter fluid/ether to get it started)
Seats not attached (just need some new bolts) and torn up (seat covers)
Bad gasoline
Some rust (was left outside for a while)

Anyway, I'm just saying "hello". As I uncover more things to tinker with I'm sure I'll post up here and there. I will contribute where I can.

Cheers,

Triton

Well.. I picked up the 150r today. Great shape!! I also had my very first ride in a buggy. OHHHHHMYYYYYYY!!!!!! I had a BLAST!

Yea, riding on the road isnt' that much fun. But going through the fields, cutting through the grown up woods, and splashing through the creeks was awesome. I'm officially hooked.

As well, I live by the theory of "Leave Nothing Stock". I can see that there will be many mods in the future for these 2 carts. First I've gotta get the 150 running.

Anyway.....

Welcome! There's a guy on another post that is installing a turbo on his 150! There is a lot of info to be found here!
