Yea I love this thing. One of my favorite parts is the white ceramic coating. Although some people say that stuff doesn't work.... Either way I really like the way it looks. How do you feel about it?

And what front fenders are those? Very Cool Car!! Bet it rips too!

Very nice. Ok, so what's the significance of the AUDI emblem on the nose of the car?

Awesome build - I really appreciate the "if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing to the nth degree" approach. The exterior is definitely loud, but absolutely unique. I love the front splitter/undertray to rear diffuser flat bottom and how well the rear fenders blend in as if the car was rolled off Mazdas factory floor that way. Top notch sir!

I might have missed it somewhere in your blog, but what's up with your shop?! Looks like a lot of top quality autos hanging around. Caterhams, a TT RS, and some Turbo Porkers (I got a kick out of that one)?

I look forward to seeing more on your build and track days - keep up the great work

Unfortunately we had problems with the engine during our season so I sourced another in South Africa and had it fully brigde ported over there and shipped to the UK ready to go.
