Thing is the orig post was about cost for one area of concern. It may have been for a kit but as David L. mentioned I itemized every part needed to BUILD a kart minus the frame and you are in the $1200.00 + range. So his kit can't be cheap. Any of the karts Brian mentioned or like Steve M. mentioned would be far cheaper if your not trying to replace or replicate every part. Plus you then go to the track with a kart you know can get around the track, unlike trying to take a yard kart kit and making it work. Most new people have no idea at what performance level we actually run at. At some point they need to figure out if they need a 2 1/2 hp Clinton or a K 78 or anything in between. Attending an event can be eye opening.
