Not sure it's a turbo but still looks bloody good fun!

Yes...but in a car that's been done for auto testing, there is NO weight in the back you could pick it up it would be so light

they even move the battery in to the engine bay or foot well.

I used to love doing autotests in my old mini cooper 1968 - great for teaching handbrake turns and reverse flicks.

Also great for
- blowing gearboxes - did 2
- killing engines due to oil surging away from oil pickup - did 3

And then I built one properly from the bottom up

Love em

Very clever - I'm surprised he didn't remove the rear wheels and fit castors

. Love the little endo at the end.
