  1. Just got home and have been told that my bro, his wife and son are all ok He had to walk 3 hours to get home as they stopped public transport, he said he was walking quicker than all the people in their cars, but thats normal for Tokyo anyway. Got away lightly me thinks
  2. I will be there in the Mex, but the reason i am going is to take Dan for a spin
  3. My bro lives in Tokyo with his wife and newborn kid. Haven't had a call from them yet but im sure they are fine
  4. Mines not ready yet, will be fully road legal and insured though when done. The slicks i just bought as they where uber cheap £10 each. Meant i had a rolling chassis then Your will be EPIC with an R1 engine
  5. Exact same place i bought mine from Sparkdog Did take nearly 2 weeks for mine to come through but not like im in a rush is it LOL
  6. Whoop whoop, another buggy Now im not 'The only buggy in the village' I did think about an R1 engine for mine but my one is a bit bigger than that, in fact its flippin huge Jason
  7. Its only a MX5 Parts exhaust and silenced decat but im really happy with the sound so can't complain. Just need that 4-2-1 to finish the system off. I will get my mate to send me the dyno video and upload it for you guys
  8. Yes quite loud i guess, sounds 'Raspy as Fuck' as my mate likes to say, If the weathers good i will get the roof down so you can experience the full on raspyness of it. The exhaust is only a generic 'off the shelf' version and has a silenced de-cat. next mod will be a stainless 4-2-1 manifold and that should make it even louder! Like i said its not a quick car by all means but is a really fun car to drive and i just can't get enough of it!
  9. Depends when this weekend, Saturday during the day i am in Basingstoke breaking my lexus further, and Sunday i am respraying a mates Jet Ski I can do Saturday evening but might be better during the day when you can actually see the car, can maybe do the following Sunday?!?!? i think??? Car made 99bhp at the wheels, doesn't sound like lots but its about 91/92 (115at the fly) standard and the car is 22 years old so i am VERY happy with that. Another guy who had a turbo'd bbr mx5 that went on the rollers after me made only 104bhp(meant to be 150bhp at the fly stock ). I almost died laughing as
  10. Anytime you like Dan, will happily take you for a spin mate and tell you what i know about them, only problem is that mine really is a MINTER so be prepared to be upset that you won't find one as good Just got back from a RR day today and im very happy with the results, good healthy engine and i actually won an award for best flames out the back
  11. You have no idea how close to that picture it was!
  12. There shouldn't be any rats in the workshop but there are! Seen a few scurry about and even caught a baby one with a ice cream tub, a stick and bit of string, almost died laughing!
  13. Actually it might be ok, the rats would just sense the pure evil of it and stay away. Like how they know when trouble is coming and feck off
  14. hmmmmm.... cheese would actually be easier to work with, although i would come in to work in the morning and the rats would have eaten the Demon
  15. *** Small Update *** Well, heres the proof im not dead, yep progress, only a small amount but my thoughts are getting back to the Demon. Still breaking the Lexus and have so many other projects on the go its unreal, but work will pick up again on the Demon. Anyway, got a few more bits glued into the nosecone and sanded out. Still a lot to do but the pics show i have done something, however small it is Jason
  16. I get the hairdresser thing from a few people but when i give it the beans their faces change, mine is raspy as fuck when you put your foot down. Im actually addicted to the sound Loving the duck tail, i have been eyeing them up also........... Jason
  17. New mission now to make my car look like those pics you posted up!!!! Already have tinted front/rear indicators so the smoked sidelights will look good. Going to get some sexy rimmage at some point me thinks. Not in a huge rush, at the end of the day i have wheels on the car and new tyres, wheels don't have a single mark on them so all good. Plus i need to get back on the buggy so not a urgent one. Those rims you have look flippin sexy as!!!!!!!!!! We need some actual pics of the car when you get the coilovers and those wheels on!!!!!! Jason
  18. Looks good but what is this www.uhstarletclub.com website about? Is it uksc's arch enemy?
  19. Looking good dude. I looked at a set of TSI's but decided against them in the end. I have a spare set of standard indicators here so i have put them in the oven and split them. Going to spray the inside black and de-tango them. ;) Are you actually going to post up some pics of your whole car at any point??? ;)
  20. When the insurance is due on my mx5 i was going to try and insure it this way! Its 22 years old and mint so may be able to blag it as a classic?!?!? Plus the uber cheap insurance on the Demon will mean WIN all round for me ;) Jason ;)
  21. Sorry this is still in the exact same place it was a few months ago now. I literally haven't touched this in ages now and i really don't have the motivation to get on with it at the moment. But don't worry there are no thoughts of selling up. Been playing with the new mazda a bit and doing a few mods to that so have just left the buggy for a while. Im still breaking the lexus, problem is that its 40 miles away in Basingstoke so can only get to it once a week, if that! but don't worry i will get the lexus broken down and will be back on the buggy eventually. Sorry i couldn't update this mo
  22. Know exactly what you mean. Handles on rails now actually has meaning!!!!! Just wants to grip. Been scared to take it to the redline but finally found it at 7.5k and was screaming like mad, sounds great!!!! I may just leave the wheels i have on it at the moment, will change later but not too sure yet. Been looking at some Rota RB's but not certain yet.
  23. Ok few more pictures after a quick clean up. Full leather Interior........ and engine bay............ Had a look through the box of bits and also found a full set of A4 stainless steel engine bay bolts. Hopefully going to continue fitting all these parts and cleaning up the engine bay even more. Seriously considering entering JAE show and shine this year Out with the old and in with the new........ While i was up at JDModified i got the car undersealed also, got the car up on the ramps and had a good look underneath. Car is just amazing, couldn't find a single piece of rust
  24. OH YES!!!!!!!!! Love it, i know you where saying you wanted one but didn't realise i would actually make you go and get one......... Need more pics though..............
  25. I was told that the sticking accelerator problem was a load of bull. Read somewhere that out of all the cases they checked the data from the ecu and in most cases the brake pedal was never touched???? will try and find it.......... Jason
