Watched the vids and heard BTAC engage. All I have to say is...
can you option a different engine in there?
I'd rather have a non-interference engine that isnt torqueless with a few pounds forced. Unfortunately, aluminum examples of this are hard to find.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

IMHO, the thing looks flippin sweet. Ariel atom is cool too, but there is really nothing to that car. At least with the Javan you get some sort of "interior"
