Aquila is definitely in the ball-park. I think I was something like:

Used kart and some spares - £650
Clothing, helmet, etc - £300
Spare parts / tools to get kart reasonable - £200
Seat that fits me - £120
Tyres - £120
ARKS starter pack and test - £130

Now although that lot only adds up to about £1500, I also got a used electric start (TAG) engine and a one man kart trolley so I could go racing on my own. Between the two added about £1200 to the whole effort, and only worth it if you're going on your own. Jury's still out on whether TAG makes sense. I like it, but it has its own little set of tribulations attached.

Aquila's running budget is also similar to mine, more or less (well actually, less, but experience does seem to lead to lower costs :) )
