Toyota Freestyle GT - Demon - 12-07-2018
garyskisplym stupid question.
Why you using mini driveshafts??
Also who doing them as my mate building a swift powered gti powered mini.
Gaz
Not a stupid question at all
The original kit is bassed on a mini so all the hubs and suspension components are lifted directly from a mini. I could have swapped them over for toyota items but that would have cost alot more plus the mini items are dirt cheap. And i also get to use the super deep dish mini wheels that are only £250 for 4 and the 13' slick tyres that are only £10 each :thumbup1:
I have a contact from one of the mini forums that is going to sleeve the mini and toyota driveshafts together and weld them for £40 a set! :ohmy: Then about £50 or so to balance them and they are all done! He has done sets for honda vtec mini's with 350bhp and they haven't snapped so im sure they will be fine with 220bhp :laugh:

Toyota Freestyle GT - Demon - 22-07-2018
Not much to update really, been SOOOOOO busy sorting out my bro's car and doing private jobs that i just haven't had the time to do anything with this.
Although all these private jobs will give me a little extra cash for a few parts.My bro gave me a TRD white Duracon gear knob for the buggy so thats on there now. And he said that if i wanted the alarm system out of his MR2 then im welcome to it, as long as i take it out myself. 2 hours later and it was mine! Clifford G5, concept 650 mine free of charge!!!!! Got proximity sensor, tilt sensor, sensors for bonnet/boot, imobiliser, key fobs etc. Just need to get my mate who runs a alarm/audio shop to fit it and certificate it.
This saturday i will be up working on the buggy and James is planning on starting the exhaust system. He will probably get it finished, if not close to it. Not much there to be honest. While i am there i will be measuring up for parts etc. Soon will have the gear change cables being made and the driveshafts sent of for manufacture.
I need to get these private jobs done first as they help fund the buggy but all i want to do is work on the buggy, which i can't do without the money LOL catch 22.

Demon, Chri5 is in need of an alarm and fitting for his Nissan, any chance your mate could see him good?

He owns Sextons audio in Southampton but chris would need to take the car there! Im not sure if he will do any discount as he hardly gives me any money off usually but give them a call and say that Jason with the lexus said to call.

Theres not a big margin in alarms so not a lot to give away - but the install has to be right so recommendation is better than any old fitter from the yellow pages:thumbup:
