    So much bro in these videos :)

    Total woman repellent too. The gf walked in the room, took one look at your man... 180ed it out the door without a word.

    I read a thread of a someone in the UK who put a c2 body on a chopped evo chassis. It must have been a phenomenal Q car

    Just watched those 8 episodes. Wow, the attention to detail is amazing and completely over engineered but with that amount of extra metal the original gt4 is probably lighter.

    Anyway, Finally a properly built mini.

    Theres a pretty standard swap for this now with high end motorcycle blocks such as the Hayabusa. You can take a Lambo off the line with one. Always wanted to try it.

    These shows are like the modern version of 'hands' that was on RTE back in the day.

    Just watched all the episodes. That guy has skills ... some really complex parts made from scratch. I like the humorous way they go about it, I'd love to know how long they spent making some of the more complex parts like the firewall...

    They go completely overboard on some things, that fecking door mechanism :O

    Seriously class videos with the workmanship, ingenuity, addention to detail and whit. Very addictive viewing and in awe of the commitment, time, effort and money involved. Even the video editing is top class. Should have their own show on discovery.

    I agree with you there, but i'm not sure how they would get on. They are doing a very long term project whereas I doubt the wheeler dealer lads spend more than a month on even the most difficult cars....

    That venting is a thing of beauty!
    Kinda think they went a little overboard with the front end though, the auto open/close could only be useful at shows and such.

    My god the guillotine/press was some impressive workmanship!

    The suspense to see if it worked or not. Better than any episode of Game of Thrones :D

    Over engineering at it's finest, quality fab work though. I was impressed with the fitting of the s2000 seat so far.
