Welcome to the club! Always nice to see people putting 4efte's into random things, not that there is anything wrong with the starlet shell of course Jason

oh yeah, i shat myself! Was quite lucky i didn't stack it, was fun going round the roundabouts in a controlled drift though, there was a yellow M3 that was smashed into one of the signs off of one of the roundabouts and i drifted right round past him. Don't think he was impressed

I have a lex and i know what you mean about sideways in the snow! Thats why i am home today. Last time i took it out in the snow the backend went at 50mph on the motorway, and i was going in a straight line. Managed to control a 3 lane drift and not stack it.

Thanks dude. Did think about sticking with the normal colour fittings but wanted the oil vapour system to be a different colour, will look good next to the black ssqv and when the frame goes all black

*** Its that time again *** Well since the Demon was moved it has meant that i can spend a few hours here and there when i have the time actually doing some productive work, and this week i have managed to get a little more done! I spent quite a few hours going through the huge amount of box's i have and actually sorting stuff out. When ever i get time to work on the buggy i spend most of my time actually looking for the parts as they are all over the place. I now have some large box's that have all the stuff neatly packed in them and on the top of each box there is a list of what is contain

LOL......... another epic thread

I NEED THE DEMON BUILT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are so many Saxo's round here that i need to destroy them all.............

Thanks for the comments guys, looks like she might be a winner then @ Jay, i know, i have never heard of one going, going to get someone to test mine first but im 90% sure its gone. Its been out of the car and kicking about the workshop now for a year or so, think something may have got damged???? I have done the wiring on the Demon and all the relays click and fuel pump works on its own. Yet the ECU refusses to prime the fuel pump! Lee @ TGT is certain its the ECU that is gone! Jason

Hi All, My ECU is dead, well im 90% sure it is the ECU. Anyway, my ECU has a black label and is from a L reg GT, Thorpy has a green labelled ECU from a K reg GT, my question is will the green label ECU fit? As you all know its not going into a GT but will be going into the Demon, just want to see if anyone has ever swapped thier ECU's over? Im guessing it won't be a major problem as i can alter the wiring if really needed............. any opinions? Many thanks, Jason

Wow, what a collection of parts! Bet you can't wait to get this thing back together and get it on the road Steve Will be EPIC when this is done, keep up the good work mate, not that i need to tell you that to be honest Jason

Thanks Steve, got your PM Slight problem with that though, now i have moved the Buggy it is not with Lee anymore and he was the one doing the wiring, the wiring is 90% complete and i need him to be able to finish it. Meaning i can't really check a ECU this end without him. I sort of need someone to check my ECU in there car, until i go back to JDModified in a few months time and finish the thing off. There is no rush to check this ECU as im putting the wiring to one side now and getting on with the rest of the car. Jason

Yep, its one of the lads over on Hampshire Jap Cars, contact him on there if you have any questions

Thanks Mate Legend! Chances are it won't need sending back, just putting in the bin Jason ;)

Hopefully i will get the ECU tested in the next few weeks and then if it is gone i can get another one, there are always loads about I actually hope it is the ECU as then i know whats wrong and i can get it replaced. Bit random though as it worked fine when in the car and now its dead! could be the fact its been sat about for well over a year

Mine was a L reg GT i think, 94. Im in Southampton but i can easily send it to you, unless there is anyone closer? Thanks for the offer though ;) , if there is nobody closer than i am happy to send it to you. Chances are that you won't even be able to start the car with the ECU fitted as it doesn't seem to want to prime the fuel pump Jason

Thanks guys ;) , well pissed off about the ECU but need to just move on. I need to find someone with a GT that can try my ECU to confirm 100% it is the ECU that is gone Yep Looks almost done and it is getting there, will be more complete over the next few weeks as i do the mechanical side of things, what im best at

Hi everyone, I have come across what i think is a problem with my ECU and im not sure????? Im after someone with a EP82 GT that can help me out! We are 99% sure that there is a problem with my ECU but it could be a very slim chance that it could be the wiring somewhere? I need someone that can fit my ECU to their GT and see if the car will start and run? so i can confirm 100% that it is the ECU that is at fault. I will pay postage to and from you and you will be doing me a HUGE favour. I have helped other members out with free parts and loans where i can but is there anyone that can help me

*** Update *** Well the last few days are finally over and i can sit down for 5 minutes and write this update. Well things didn't go exactly to plan and im afraid to say that the engine didn't get started up We where so close but came across a problem that was just out of our hands and meant that the engine loom couldn't be finished like we had planned! Thursday me and Lee @ JDModified spent all day cutting and chopping the engine loom and routing it around the rear chassis to the area we had decided to place the ECU. Thursday went really well and we where in a good position to finish it of

Legend!!!!!!! Thats what im going for also Keep up the good work Steve, loving the updates and pics

Hopefully mine will be about 500kg, but its not really a starbo so don't count. People can obviously lie but only way to properly tell is to get it weighed, will be getting mine done when its built as i really want to know what it is

Stripped out looks awsome also, so its double win! If i had a starbo i would strip it out If its not needed to make the car move/operate then rip it out and bin it! Think we need a competition to see who has the lowest kg starbo Would be quite interesting to see what people can achieve!

Thanks Mate, Haha she's only a youngen so she needs stabalizers while she's learning IVA is still a long way off mate, still got lots to do, then im stripping it all down to get the frame powdercoated. I have decided to do the final build at JDModified and we are going to set an area aside to build it. We are going to try and set up a webcam and record the final build so we can speed it up and you can see the buggy coming together. May be able to just leave it running and people can log in and watch the buggy come to life???? Jason

Thanks Rob, i try my best ;) *** Update *** Well yesterday i got up to JDModified and got on with a little, mainly just cleaning the thing up for the wiring on thursday/friday. Got everything sorted and boxed up as i will be moving the buggy next saturday. Its going to be a long week but should mean i can crack on with this next week more. James managed to get the rear coilovers all fitted and welded up on monday/tuesday and they just need a little cleaning up now. Coilovers will be rotated round so the adjusters are on the outside but here's what they look like. She now sits on all 4

Yeah probably was you then, was defo silver anyway. Best place for carbon sheet is either ebay or 'carbon mods' but its pretty pricey. Been thinking of doing the sides in carbon on the Demon but its looking to be a a couple of hundred £. I may buy a large sheet anyway and just do the lot in carbon! not like im keeping to a budget or anything
