nutnut Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Dont think they where thinking of charging you for them.Most prob only charge you for postage.There where thousands of extinguishers in there.The guy was talking about sorting through the scrap pile for you.The scrap pile has ones that have dents or buggered valves.

jason_l Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 *** Mini Update ***Well some parts have started arriving today Yesterday Some parts arrived from Jay, HKS actuator, ngk leads and autogauge volt gauge. The volt gauge is pretty beat up but its only a temporary one till i decide what gauges to go for and so i can knock up a custom gauge holder.Yesterday i also decided to order up a couple of small slimline sucker fans that will be mounted to front mount radiator to help with cooling. I know some people have mentioned that the fiat chinqy rad may not be up to the challenge but i think you will all change your mind when you see this.here is the radiator attached to the steel frame.and with the 2x 9' fans roughly in place........going to easily cool it now me thinks. lolNeed to modify the radiator frame slightly and add some brackets to fix the fans in place but i have picked up the steel on the way home and will crack on with that tomorrow Planning to add a thermostat switch to the radiator so the fans will switch on when the temp gets to a certain point, although i doubt they will come on much to be honest.I have also had a call from Dampertech (Gaz Coilovers) and they have made my shiney new rear coilovers and have posted them out today, so with any luck will be here tomorrow. will update with more pics when more parts arrive people.I have spent sooooooooooo much this month but need to get some bits done asap. Saturday i will be up working on the Demon and have even managed to get my bro to come up and give me a hand. Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jason_l Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 *** and another one ***woop woop!!!Feels like there is a huge hole in my wallet and all my money is just falling out, then parts keep arriving and i remember where all the money is going.............. Rear Coilovers arrived today, not long now and i will have coilovers all round which should help out so much. Can't wait to get rid of the stupid mini rubber dohnut suspension setup. The coilovers look quite cute but should do the job a treat With the springs i bought before......And roughly placed on the huge brackets i haveI just need to sorce some imperial bolts to fix the coilovers in place and i should be well away. Hopefully if the gearbox gets fitted and these are fitted in the next few weeks i can get the remaining chassis parts laser cut and then its a case of get the driveshafts made up and then start connecting the engine wiring, cooloing, cables and its almost there as far as starting her up!!!!!Then come all the boring IVA crap.............

micky boy Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Nice update matey looks like its finally comeing together Them coilovers look the dogs bits lol did you have to get them custom made? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jason_l Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Nice update matey looks like its finally comeing together Them coilovers look the dogs bits lol did you have to get them custom made?Thanks mate The coilovers where bought direct from Gaz, they where made to order but they are not custom. They are from a original mini, but have uprated springs and are the 'lowered' version so have loads of adjustment. They are meant for the front of a mini but im using them for the back The rear of the car should weigh roughly about the same as the front of a mini so should be a pretty good match, or at least i hope so.

jason_l Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 *** Update ***Well got up to TGT and got a little done today, not much but im happy First had a little look at the rear suspension and got the old stuff off and in the bin and then the new sexy coilovers on and roughly offered up. Need to get some more bits laser cut to create a proper mounting point for the upper bracekts but it looks so much better with these on there.old setup.....sexy new setup.....Then a Nutnut (stuart) kindly came down to deliver the 2x5kg fire extinguishers that i bought. Wouldn't of been able to get them without all the help you have put in and i am truelly gratefull mate Also managed to get the centre consol offered into the car and the old handbrake gabbins ground off. and then the front radiator frame welded onto the buggy. Plan is to cut the rounded part off the nosecone and then custom make a new piece that will extend down and round the radiator. Should hopefully make it look alot meaner at the front.Just as TGT where clossing up i managed to get the buggy rolled out into the light to get some pics of it outside. When i stand back and look at it outside it just looks imense! I can't wait to get this thing done and on the road ;)Here are some better pics (sorry about the quality of some of them) of the Demon. You can really appreciate how insane this thing is going to be. Thats all for the moment peeps Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jason_l Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 haha minted! its getting there.what are you gona do about the rear lighting setup, your spoilt for choice with all the led units out there.Thanks mate, tis getting there.....slowly but getting there.Not using led lights, im just using landrover style cheapo lights. They are £3 a light and are easy to replace/fix if they break. Didn't want to go for really expensive ones as they will more than likely get damaged etcJason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
