Yeah it's that guy Zeelie over in SA... he's got/had a thread on Spyderchat.
It's a really good article - the youtube clip shows he has what appears to be live temperature mapping on the surface of the tyres... amazing setup and really cool to see it being done so well, clearly no expense spared.

Quote from: from the articleMR2 was actually Japan's first mid-engined production car

I didn't know that.

Also, elephant in the room... 800bhp!  :o  :o

Lastly, love how the interior has been properly stripped out. The custom centre console has purpose and looks great.
All the air vents are blocked off with nice carbon inserts. Even then, I like how they recognise that the coin holder is still needed! lol
