Flippin heck I saw you talking about getting one but i really didn't think you would!

Your even more of a legend now, get the 82 stuffed in it and its the best sleeper ever! lol

Jason

Jas are you going to the WMH meet this Sunday? About 130 people are on the list at the moment.

Would love to go but bit busy at the moment. My car has fried a piston ring so is in pieces at JDModified currently waiting on parts and the new house project means i don't have much time free WMH is epic though so should be good, might try and pop along but doubt i will get time

Ummmmmm..........

Well that was feakin Weird! Some crazy bits in that?!?!?! The camera rigging is awesome though, like the way it moves around as he's sideways, must have a motorised rigging or something?!?!?

Jason

Welcome to the club.

I owned a punto at one point so i know how shit they are

Im a member on HJC as well, as are a few others so hopefully see you about

Jason

Can't really help with your questions but just wanted to say...............

LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is all

I was dying to get my hand on that fuel cell but someone else beat me to it. Ended up making one in the end.

I did however get the fuel filler cap from it

From memory he had it fitted in the boot and the filler cap was mounted on the passengers side rear window which was plastic.

Jason

Fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad your getting it back very soon Sparkdog You will be so glad you decided to keep it mate

Jason

Love this car and colour is also epic. Your just round the corner from me so i may have to come and have a look at some point and if you ever want to be one of the few that have seen the demon in the flesh then let me know

Keep up the good work dude

Jason

Thanks for the replies guys Always makes me feel good all the posative comments.

Crazy eyes, you don't need a HUGE budget to do something like this. I have been spending bits here and there but i reckon i have spent about 8k total. maybe a little more. Seems like a lot of money but there are people that spend way more on their cars. If you spend a little each month it soon gets done.

Jason

*** Mini Update ***

Well as most of you now know i have a house and most of my time and money is currently being spent on that. I have managed to do a few little things on the buggy though and will continue to get a few little bits done, whenever i get time, so not that often then! The house has needed a lot more work then we ever thought and is going to be a real big project and although the buggy is taking a back burner it won't get left or sold! I can promise that

Anyway, back to the update.

Got a length of 28mm copper pipe delivered and some bends/joiners with it. This will be forming the coolant lines that run down the centre of the buggy. They are the perfect size and the joiners can be cut in half and soldered on so that they create a better fit for the silicone hose to join to, as shown here...........

just need to work out routing the pipes and hopefully get to it. Going to be tight with everything running down the centre but will keep it tidy if i can pull it off.

Also managed to pick up a connector for the fan switch, comes straight from a fiat cinqy but plugs striaght into the switch mounted to the side of the rad.

Also been looking at the steering wheel, needs to have a radiused edge but its not very IVA friendly so i have started to make a pad piece that will make it meet the regs. Ignore the blue colour at the moment as its going to get trimmed in black when i get some material.

After IVA i will be switching to a removable go-kart steering wheel so it gives more room, will be terrible at speed but should be ok for corners and most normal speeds.

Also finally got the driveshafts sorted via my contact on 16v mini forum. Guy named Adam who is a complete legend. Sent him both shafts and gave him the desired lengths i needed. He cut, sleeved them and welded them up. He has done shafts for honda engined mini's and starbo engined mini's so these should be all good. Was going to get them cryo treated but at £160 for the 2 i think i might just run the risk. Can get them remade for less than that anyway.

stripping down the starbo shafts.........

and the finished Demon shafts ready to assemble and fit.........

Paul has also managed to add more body filler to the nosecone and its really starting to take shape now, hopefully won't be long and i can move the buggy to my garage and start taking a mould from it.

Sort of a weird update as i have been working on lots of little things but i only get like 20 minutes here or 15 minutes there to do work. Just thought you all should know that i haven't given up on this

Jason

Im actually really upset to see this go the way of so many other starbo's that go bang. Really thought it would never come to this but needs must mate and at the end of the day its all about the chedder!

Im sure you will be back in a beast before long dude.

Oh and as you will be breaking it i will be very interested in anything green thats on the car

Oh shit! Sorry to hear about the GT Sparkdog ;)

Like others have said don't give up dude, its far to epic to just give up now!

Jason

Just thought i would see if any other members are going along to this. I find it a little chavy if im honest but love the drifting and the Sumo power cars sound just EPIC!!!!!!

Im going along with another car club im a member of (outlaw jap club) and just wondered if any UKSC'ers where going? If anyone is feel free to pop over and say hi, im sure there will be a few starbo's/glanza's there ;)

Jason

You dont need pas its light enough

Yes exactly, pointless as well as i have a mini steering rack

As others have said, steering will be more heavy but should get better feel through bends etc.

Mine has no power steering but then again mine has very little anyway

Not long now dude and she will be all good Bet you can't wait for Friday

More than likely ball joints or track rod ends if clunking ;)

not much left of his car.............. ;)

RIP ;)

Don't know if people have seen this yet but Ryan Dunn from Jackass has died after crashing his Porsche GT3 at over 110mph. Believed to be drink driving but not confirmed yet

Kind of had it coming if he was drink driving but still sad none the less. Can't believe after all the crazy shit he did that this is how he went!

Jason

Totally agree with Shorty here! Flippin Ghetto to cut the springs down! ;)

This is now the Most Replied too, and Viewed. EP91 Glanza Project Thread on this site x

;) Love it............. i have the most replied too and viewed 'members other rides' thread on this site

Flippin love your car socks. Im a big 82 fan and don't really like many Glanza's if any but this car i just love! The work that has gone into this is really something to be proud of

Flippin love it Sparky

You got those driveshafts yet??? ;)

I will second that!

Recently bought a Driveshaft from him and today it arrived, perfectly wrapped up and delivered Safely. Won't be long now and i will have my driveshafts made!

The Demon is also gratefull

Legend!!!!

Would love to buy something crazy like that, oh wait a minute

Looks pretty cool. Make sure you get some decent pictures up when you get it dude! You will love RWD, my little eunos is so much fun and this will just be epic!

Jason

Fuck me that looks bad! Glad your ok and like others have said its just a piece of metal.

The shape of the car probably helped with the roll as its a nice round shape (or was) so rolled better than a squarer car.

My misses got clipped by a BMW on the motorway doing 70mph a few years back. She rolled the car 6 times! and got away with pretty minor injuries to be honest. She had to be cut out of the car and they said the shape of the car helped with the roll and probably saved her life (Toyota Yaris)

Some people just shouldn't be on the road!
