*** Update Time *** Well about time i added an update i guess, got to keep Steve off my back Chrsitmas over and done with so i was straight back to work, Well monday and tuesday i had off work but as the girlfriend was working i decided to go into wotk and crack on with the build. As i got the clutch and brake pedals all sorted i thought i would finish off the set and get the 'Go pedal' done and fitted. Started off with getting it roughly tacked together and fitted....... Then created a bracket to hold the cable in place....... After a bit of head scratching and trying to work out whe

^^ ;)

Thanks dude Really hope the clips fix the problem, let me know when you have them fitted ;) Jason ;)

Now where do i start................

Welcome to the site dude Your in the right place Jason

Thats how i got it, it now looks something like this.......... but her Heart and main organs live on!

Here's my little beast...... Ain't she a beaut!

Lets put it this way, i have a xbox and a ps3. I have forza 3 and love it to bits, its just awsome, grahics i admit are nowhere near gt5! I rented GT5 as i thought it may be a bit iffy! Thought it had been hyped up so much so thought i would rent it to see! Now, where do i start, GT5 graphics are AMAZING!!!!! compared to Forza they easily are far superior! However thats understandable, GT5 was realeased AGES after forza so it should be better! Now for the bad points, and there are LOADS!!!!!!!!! GT5 just isn't there with the driving physics, i mean like what the fuck!!!!! One of the snow rac

This looks flippin EPIC!!!!!!!

LOL Although that still happens quite a bit Steve. Forgot to add i have a new ECU as well now, just the standard jobby but i have one! Now im really sorry to whoever i bought the ECU from. I can't remember your user name and i have now deleted the text messages so i can't even ask you? The guy was so helpfull and i promised to leave him good feedback but i can't remember your name, I have a huge list of parts that i will be shortly needing if im going to continue working hard. Hopefully crimbo should see me with a bit of money so next week will be fun ordering lots of parts, sort of like a

Thanks Mate Sod viewing this with dial up! Bad enough reading it on broadband, the amount of pics i post up are nuts!!!!!! As Steve has said it will be road legal, needs a IVA test and once approved there are some forms to fill in at my local DVLA office then in theory i just need to wait till they asign me a registration. Little way off of that yet though! I wish i was in Brisbane too! I could pretty much use this every day then, not just the 2 days a year we get sun over here I love the buggy's they use in the ROC, i have a feeling they might be quicker though? Yes! Yes it will I

Thanks Martyn, seem to be more and more people reading this thread now! Not that im complaining i love the comments I wish i had a tree house, maybe when this is done that will be my next project Jason

Thanks Mate Really nice to recieve posative comments like this, makes me so motivated! Hopefully will be at JAE but can't promise anything, i will be there but i don't know if the Demon will yet???? Jason

Thanks Mate, problem is its the tiny things that take most of my time. Nearly everthing i buy needs modding in some way to fit, takes ages to do ANYTHING! Dying to hear it start up Thanks Dude Yes once its all done its getting stripped down and sent off to have most of it powdercoated. Frame is going Black and arch's, nosecone, spoiler etc is all going lime green! Was even making the engine sounds and pretending to drive it along! Gears are so notchy, will take some getting used to. LOL guess you are happy then. Has it really been 3 weeks??? Flippin heck how time flies! Going to

Thanks dude Right, its finally that time Steve, you ready for this........................ *** Update Time *** Right after getting the gearbox bracket welded up i finally got it fitted and started looking at the gear cables. Then got the bracket on the shifter side welded up ready for the cables. Then after fitting for a few hours with the cables they where finally in. These where a nightmare to fit as they could only really go in one way and i was fighting them the whole time. They still need some extra fittings added around the engine to hold them off of the alternator and keep them

LOL @ Steve! The player gets played!!!!!

Awsome! I have a proper Burton Snow Deck somewhere in the loft. This has just reminded me about it, need to find that!

Sorry guys not had time to get to a computer recently to update but i will do a biggen in the next few days. We had our Christmas party last night, at a hotel literally NEXT to the workshop so i was here at 8am this morning working on the Demon! I feel like death today, no not the booze as i can't drink anymore cause of the ol heart drugs. Think i may have eaten something bad! I will get this flippin thing finished............................ Update soon, sorry to the people that see i have posted in the thread and then are dissapointed

Thanks dude I remember seing the pics of your bro's buggy, i would love a bike engine but in the end i went for the toyota lump. Bike engines where already being used so i wanted to be different Think we need some better pics of your bro's buggy ;)

I have never heard of a ECU going but it looks like they can go! I did wonder if you had used your car before trying my ECU. I believe there is a problem with the power to the fuel pump part of the ECU! In the Demon it wouldn't even power up my fuel pump. Im guessing as you had just driven yours there was fuel still in the system. So when you tried my ECU it was not powering your fuel pump, it used the fuel that was left in the system and then died after it had run out. I could have had the fuel pump on a seperate switch on the dash and bypast the ECU but if i was in a crash and was knocked o

*** Small Update *** Well been slowed up this week by the Snow, work was closed on thursday/friday and i couldn't get there to actually work on the buggy anyway. However i managed to get a few things sorted. Firstly i got the exhaust all wrapped up and fitted back onto the buggy. Was a shame to cover up all the welding on the exhaust but its done now. Im still unsure if wrapping the exhaust is the best thing to do! Its close to the fuel tank so in theory should help protect it from the heat. I will be adding a firewall in between the tank and exhaust anyway but the wrap should help deflect

Yes i know. For some reason the ECU is not powering the fuel pump at all Don't matter anyway, i know whats wrong and i can move on with the build now ;)

Some awsome parts getting put into this project. Really want that Turbo so bad but just don't have the fundage at the moment Keep up the good work Steve, you will be loving it when this is back on the road

Or buy tyres that already have white logo's printed on the sides..... Bit dirty but you get the idea........ Jason

Just a quick post to say a HUGE thanks to Stulet-GTT He has really helped me out. I had a problem with my wiring and everything pointed to the ECU being dodgy, problem was i needed someone to test fit it for me and he kindly offered to do just that. After sending him my ECU he has test fitted it and confirmed that it is shagged! Great news as now i know exactly what is wrong and can move on with the build! I could not do the Demon project without people like this and this site just has so many awsome members that are willing to help others out like this! Jason
