Yeah will defo be all stickered up with UKSC when she's done, anyway.......... How's yours coming along Steve, im guessing by the fact that you haven't posted it up yet you don't have the gearbox yet???

The Demon is calling for alot of things but these are low down on her list! First she needs her ass reasembled, poor blighter

They look slick.................. Thinks im going to have to get me some of those large star symbols

Personally i think its going to be UBER loud!!!!!!! Think its the bike can that helps lower it, plus yours has no baffle

So have you just got a straight through system then? Literally just pipework and no silencer? Im dying to know what mine will sound like.........its straight off the turbo, about 500mm of pipework and a carbon bike can. I have been told that the bike can's are not that loud? Jason

Its all about the launch Its really coming along now Steve and i hope that this gearbox see's the last of the problems fixed! Brakes are looking good in black also

Will try and get some more done then so i have something to show ya James is meant to be doing a opening day/event at some point so when i know details i will post them up but he's so busy at the moment it keeps getting put off.

Thanks Guys, its starting to get there now. Im trying to get it running in about 4-5 months with it road legal about 6 months from that. I can't see it being on the road before summer next year, this weather is driving me mad!!!! its perfect buggy driving weather but its just sat there in pieces. Anyone is welcome to come and have a look if they want, its in Basingstoke, so yes.........down sauf

Your welcome to pop up any time you like after next weekend dude No point coming up next weekend as it will be in pieces most of the day, give it a few weeks and it should start coming together alot more

*** Sunday Update *** Well its been another busy week but im happy with the direction its going and the next few months are going to be interesting Started off the week by cutting a small section off of my intercooler pipework to look at making a custom made oil catch tank. There is plenty of bends, straight etc so just cut a 120mm piece off. The oil catch tank is going to have AN6 earls fittings with a bottom bung to drain the oil. Not going to have a site tube on it as it looks messy, will just empty it every now and then. Top end...... Bottom......... Its not welded up yet but Jame

I guess it has the heart of a starbo Its sort of like a starlet that has cross bread with the devils Go-kart Of course they are devil Toyota badges, and in black

Trust me i really want to get them fitted, and there are SO MANY parts i have now. Problem is the chassis is still cut up and the engine and gearbox are still apart. Once the chassis work is all done the Demon should come together really quickly! Until then i will continue making some trick parts and buying up everything

Like i said, i think i owe a few people rides You saying im a bad driver! Will try and get to the rolling road also Right, im going to start setting my Alarm earlier so i can get into work earlier and get more done, 6am starts now then

Will try my hardest to be there, but will be close. In theory it could be running, not road legal but running but i can't promise anything....... i think i owe a few people passenger rides anyway

If im there i will be out on track, your welcome to ride shotgun! Not sure if i will make it though, would love to say i will be there but may be pushing it........

Already got the toyota badges but still not allowed in, technically its a kitcar so its a no go

The build thread is on 'Outlaw Jap Club' and 'Muddybuggies'. Get pretty good feedback from those sites but nowhere near as posative as you guys!!!! One guy on Muddybuggies said that im 'Complicating' things buy using a Toyota engine rather than sticking to the Mini engine norm. He couldn't understand why i was doing all this work and said 'you could have a nice caterham for the money and time you have spent'. I tried to explain that i wanted to be different but don't know if it got through??? .....and i won't be at JAE with it Luke its not a jap car so im not allowed in, believe me i have t

To be honest the reason i update this thread so much is because of the comments i get from you guys. This site is just pure WIN and everyone is awsome! I know this buggy ain't probably everyones taste but you guys have nothing but good things to say and the comments are what keep me motivated and wanting to see this through to completion! Its not a Starlet really but you guys welcomed me into the site and you don't seem to mind me hanging about, so thankyou all Jason

Thanks for the kind comments Mate Im trying my best to get it done asap but its a long ol' road and the end is a long way off As you will have noticed reading the whole thread, i spend alot of money on parts i don't really need, but it all adds to the epic'ness of the final piece Jason

i would laugh my ass off too...........but the link don't work

Hi Stu, Yes i plan on using the Mikalor clamps as the jubalee's aint perfect. Im going to weld the intercooler pipework anyway so i have 2 fully welded runs, rather than loads of pipes and joiners as i think it will look better as longer welded pipes. Im also replacing the hoses, as like you say they are cack! and they STINK I bought the kit solely for the pipework, which is spot on

Sounds like its coming together now Sparky Good Man!

Really??? Didn't realise people would be talking about it? Makes me feel like im on the right track then if people are liking what im doing Dam it, now i want some track action I doubt they have done anything on it to be honest! They said they would do some if they had time, they are usually rammed with work! Plus because im not there all the time hassling him then it gets left. Im not complaining, i wouldn't be able to build this without James and he's a great guy. If they haven't done much i will get something booked in so they will get something underway shortly Jason

*** little udate *** Well today i went to my work's workshop to get a few little things done. Have spent all week stripping down the mini hubs and getting them cleaned up and hopefully in a few weeks they will be getting machined to accept the new discs. I managed to get the disc flanges cleaned up and bolted up to the new discs. While they are all clean and the rust starts building up again i got a coat of black hammerite on them. I spent about an hour sanding the fuel rail. Starting with 180 grit, then 400,600,1000 and 1200 grade until nice and smooth. The fuel rail was in really good

DAM!!!!! some sweet rides there! Really pissed off i couldn't make this but i WILL be there next year, if you don't mind me being on the stand? Jason
