Hi All, Just a quick one really. Wondered if anyone is going along to Modified Live @ Brands Hatch on 27th June??? I will be there in the Lex on another Jap club im a member off but would be nice to see a few starbo's there, would love to meet a few members and have a look around some cars. I know this sort of thing is not to everyones taste but im mainly going to support a mate who is competing in EDC and Brands is a awsome track! Jason

Got a few parts coming for the fuel sender assembly so i can continue with that....... Got a few little things to do that won't cost me anything in parts. Need to make some weld in inserts for the bottom of the harness mounts and need to turn a reducer down for the fuell cap so that a diesel nozzle won't fit into it (part of the IVA regs ). Might work on making a couple more arch's to finish off the set??? Then im sort of stuck for things to do. I would love to get the fuel cell mocked up ready for welding but i have spent too much on the Demon this month so need to stop now till pay day! B

I hate football too! None of my friends like it and everyone in the workshop where i work ain't interested too so im good! And yes, those stupid little flags are shit!!!!! But if they want to up their fuel bill by putting them on their cars then so be it

*** Update *** Well been cracking on throughout the week as usual and been concentrating on the fuel cell this week. Monday my laser cut parts finally arrived at work, been waiting ages for these but finally have them so i can crack on with the fuel cell now Firstly i got the flange for the filler cap drilled and tapped. The flange is 12.7mm thick and gets welded inside the tank to allow the filler cap to just bolt onto the outside, finished off the tethered part also so now the filler cap will be fixed to the fuel cell. I just need to chop the filler neck part down a bit and it will get

Looking sexual Sparky! Im after some of those RX7 injectors but they are quite low down on the list at the moment Keep the updates coming dude!

Im getting one of these for the Demon, then i can just boot it through speed camera's at 1000mph and not get caught! Plus as the Demon looks like ever other car on the road they will never be able to trace me! Oh, wait a minute.............................. actually come to think of it i don't need one, i can just pop it down a gear and wheelie the car through the camera so they can't see my plate

Looks flippin awsome dude! Jason

Thanks guys I do like that design but think im going to stick to the one before that with just the nosecone and standard style wheel arch's at the sides. Was going to leave the sides open and not add any panels but i need room for sponsor decals and think it will be more aerodynamic with sides added. Still going for transparent sides though so people can see right the way through the thing. Products have started arriving today so updates will be coming shortly Jason

I don't think it will dude. My bro used to get MR2 only magazine which is from the same people and it was just about the cars! Which a car mag should be about! Think you will be safe

I take it the JPerformance manifolds are ok then To be honest i will probably switch to a Ram style manifold eventually as i have the room for one and i think they look awsome, but that won't be for a few years yet as i need other things first! Jason

Looks flippin MINT dude. Love that colour, and love the retro look. Would look nice modified but to be honest like you say you want to keep standard, for a first car you can't go wrong with this. Looks awsome standard anyway to be honest so keep it as is. Keep the updates coming

Happy Birthday dude!

Thanks Guys Girlfriend is great to be honest! She knows i spend a fuck load on the Buggy but as long as i put £350-400 in our savings each month she don't ask much more. I had the weekend off away from the Buggy to enjoy the sun and while i was out and about i went past so many Chav's out in their shitty cars, made me want this done so much more. Don't worry it will come along this week. With some interesting updates over the next months. Jason

Welcome to the club I would say get some pics up, but your doing it so i won't say again Jason

Well like i said before i wasn't planning on getting onything done to the Demon over the weekend but managed to order a few little parts. While my Lexus was having its MOT on saturday i went up and paid some money to TGT for all their hard work recently. While i was up there i test fitted a harness, fit ok so im happy! will look even better when the chassis is painted properly. Then while the girlfriend was out of the room i got the AN6 fittings ordered for the fuel cell, some Loom tape, connector blocks for the fuel cell, grease nipples for the hubs and some cam locks for the welded in loc

Did want the aero buckle Sparks but they don't have a 2.5mm radius on the edges of the aero mech so i would of had to file them down slightly. Hence would have fucked them up. These will pass IVA and to be honest are a lot easier to take off and put on!

Yep, have to agree, them seats are SEX

God i love this thing! http://uk.autoblog.com/2010/06/03/lexus-lf...-shatter-glass/ Video is pretty funky! Jason

Thats sort of the plan You will have noticed that the last 3-4 weeks of updates have been pretty good and the work output has increased. Thats because im back at work and now have all the tools i need in one place. Im doing less work on the buggy than when i was off work but because i have all the proper tools i can get so much more done

Yes, defo have white. You going to wrap the battery then dude?

Exactly like that Steve, but with the battery housed under the rear part. Hmmmm..... that ones looks quite Sexy actually And yes, vinyl, we got some at work, what colours you want? After all i am sponsering you

May as well update now as im not planning on doing anything much on the Beast this weekend, going to just spend the weekend chillin out with the misses. I think this has come along quite well now so going to have a few days off, but don't worry guys come monday morning at 7:00am i will be back on it started to modify the fuel filler cap. I would have loved to of just left it as is but under IVA regs it must lock the key in position or be tethered to the tank. Checked the cap and the key can still be removed when the cap is off the main unit so my only option is to have it tethered to the ta

Mines a bit different, as always with me My battery is in the passenger foot well, so im going to make a full cover and a ramped part that the passenger can use as a foot rest. You could always make a cover that wraps around the battery Steve, but doesn't go over the top. Or even just vinyl wrap your battery in some white vinyl That would look pretty sick If you need some white vinyl...............

makes such a difference dude! That reminds me, i need to make a battery cover another thing for the ever growing list

By the time you have done the crank seal the gearbox will probably have arrived with any luck. Mine has gone on the other side of the engine but luckily TGT picked it up as i wouldn't have done Another small job for doctor starbo
