Tell me about it Im dying to see it go, with me in it of course *** Small Update *** Just got back from JAE a few hours ago and although im completely shattered i have already started sorting out parts for the buggy. Im going to try and do more to this each week now as i need this done so bad. JAE just made me realise how insane this is going to be and how close its starting to get now. Had a talk with a rep from Hel (company that make custom brake/clutch lines) and im going to get them to make up all the lines for the buggy as his prices didn't seem too bad and they seemed a better choice than the copper lines as they can easily get damaged/crimped and the stainless braided ones should be easier to run and mantain. While i was there i had a little look around the trade stands and i must say they where pretty rubbish, even though i still managed to get some green bits Picked up a tow eye for the back and some stainless/green anodised washers. Look awsome and should really help with the green/black theme. and a few more stickers from LukeEP, thanks mate, i already know exactly where they are going NEED THIS BUILT!!!!!!!!! Jason

We have not long been back also. Was a great weekend and although i wasn't with you guys i still managed to come over and speak to a few of you. Sorry i didn't stay long, but hopefully next year i will be there with the Demon. I have a few plans and hopefully should be able to get it in on a club stand. Was some lovely looking Glanza's and GT's on the stand and made me really want to get one now Jason

He certainly did make it, without his starbo though

I think they are awsome engines, should last if looked after I have a 4EFTE in my kitcar, i like them that much

Very helpfull Topic Socks I have a JPerformance Manifold on mine that i got for £20 but im going to sell it on later. Its been on the car for about 4 months but the car hasn't moved The problem i have is that my exhaust/turbo etc is all supported from the manifold so if that goes then the whole lot will just rip off. Im going for a ram horn mild steel joby when i get the fundage

Should be a alright turnout looking at the current peeps. Is it worth getting this on TGTT also?

Thanks Ollie and Sparkster All the of the posative comments are what keep me going on this. I look forward to updating the thread and reading the comments almost as much as i love working on it

This is looking awsome dude The effort going into this is just superb! Keep up the good work i love reading the updates Jason

Thanks Mate I try Just need this done so bad now, every little bit that goes on is one step closer to the beast getting unleashed!

Thanks Dan. Just a shame it won't be at the hampshire meet on the 19th, but hopefully at future ones

I will be at JAE but with another club, as i don't technically own a glanza/GT I will come over and say hi to all you guys and gals though

Silencing Whats that??? Just the carbon can at the back. From what i gather it shouldn't be too loud as others with front exits and bike cans are shocked whn its not that bad............but i could be very wrong 2.5' straight through, even the bike can is 2.5' internal

*** Update *** Well work has been very slow on this recently as i have been help brake my bro's MR2 for parts as he needs the money and is now living in Japan for good. Been a manic couple of weeks really working on this and trying to get some of the buggy done also.......but don't worry i have managed to do a few things. Tuesday i took the day off work to spend the whole day just to remove parts from my bro's car and take pictures, what a day that was. Literally spend the whole day removing parts and taking pics of parts. However, my bro gave me a TRD white duracon gear knob that has already gone onto the buggy. Lightest gearknob known to man so will fit right in on the buggy. He also said that if i can be arsed to remove the alarm system then its mine! Could i be arsed? HELL YES!!!! So i now have a Clifford G5 650 concept free of charge, has imobiliser, key code engine start, tilt sensors, proximity sensors, bonnet/boot sensors and engine start from key fob Will be taken to a specialist i know and fitted with a certificate when the buggy is done. Saved me £££'s getting that. Then today i went up to TGT to measure up for the gear cables. I have found a company that make made to measure gear cables that are mega flexible (they claim you can tie them in a knot and they will still work fine) and they are reasonably priced, about £65 for a 2 metre cable. Got all this done and they will be getting ordered up in the next few weeks or so. Also while i was there i put James to work on the exhaust system, he is a legend. Couple of hours later and it was done! Its a work of art and is so strong! I nedd to make a new bracket for it as the one i made up before was slightly off but everytime he does some more work on the buggy im always amazed at what he does. Here's the outcome...... Turbo end....... Just misses intercooler pipework.......... I love it, its got to be one of the shortest systems i have seen. Next job on the list is the fuel system, i have given James the go ahead to order the braided fuel line and -6 fittings and get it all plumbed up and the fuel lab FPR mounted and plumbed also. Its slowly all getting connected up now. Work will be slower over the next few months as i have so much on and money is pretty tight, but don't worry i haven't forgotten about this Jason

Right then..... 'The Vine' @ Ower, 19th September from 6:30pm onwards. Yay we finally sorted it

Right lets do it! Shall we say 'The Vine' @ Ower on the 19th. Now all we need to do is decide a time!!!!!!

Someone mentioned 'The Vine' pub at Ower before, thats pretty central for southampton/winchester/bournemouth/salisbury and is just off of all the main routes? Jason

Whoop!!!!! we have a date! Any time is fine with me and any location also I know thats not much help but im there!

Well i turned up at about 7:20 and stayed for a bit. Had a good ol chat with Ollie, nice to meet you dude Maybe because it was short notice there where only a few peeps about. I think we need to just choose a date and venue and start a proper meet. Jason

Green wheels are WIN!!!!! If you do your wheels green then i will too

Will be the longest few weeks of your life I think there is no worries, it will go like a flippin rocket!!!!!!!!!

Pup! i thought you where a true member of team green!

I don't need to say anything......... but i will say it anyway, GREEN!!!!!

Saw your car yesterday Jay, its looking the flippin nuts now! Can't be long now surely and you will be driving the beast

Thanks Sparkster Its amazing what rolling it outside will do! Not like much more has actually been done but just having it outside and taking pictures makes it look so much nicer. Exhaust and driveshafts are next on the list, will update in the next week or so ;)
