I must admit, though, it's a marvel of engineering how he manages to get them wheels attached, would be cool if you could take the skin off and have a look..

lots of respect to whoever did the bodywork on that and constructing the chassis to take such monsters! another thing id liek to know is the paint code as that colour is very nice

Mark contacted me about this car, it's not my car, I helped to build it. Some details, its a mini chassis(not sure what year), with a full roll cage. The suspension is acura integra Type-R with Leda adjustable coil-overs, as are the brakes. The drivetrain is integra GSR as a basis, with full Ferrera Valve train and camshafts. Turbocharged and intercooled with Autronics engine management. Really is a silly car, as wild as it is, its pretty useless...

The paint is Murcielago yellow straight from Lamborghini.

Our next project car was much more useful a Corvette C5 Z06 LS6 powered BMW E36 sedan.

no offence to the guy who has made it good on him and all that as its very differant but he has totaly wrecked a greart car in my opinion the arches are to big and so are the wheels and body kit big no no in my opinion but some people will disagree

That is totally hardcore that is, i like it a lot. Looks like many hours of work has gone into this work of art and all i can say is, its certainly unique.

your next step should be a Corvette Z06 Powered Mini.
that would be kickass... although don't put such an outrageous bodykit on it. In fact, the challenge with the V8 should be making the mini look stock... except for rear tire width.... have to get the power to the ground somehow.
