Episode 33?
(

(Preview)
I really did think that lockdown would give an opportunity for the chaps to make leaps and bounds of progress with Binky and that we'd have an episode a week to help keep(?) us sane. Presumably they are largely at the mercy of the paint shop and its ability to get supplies of rainbow paint etc, although th...

Binky vs T50
(Preview)
I watched a couple of videos interviewing Gordon Murray about his new car and was interested in the similarities/differences in concept between his effort and the Leyland/Toyota. First off, he's opted to go without any form of safely turbine device - which must be quite worrying for the prospectiv...

How much is left of the original mini?

I've now binge watched 31 episodes of Project Binky. Lovely, am going through the merch to see what takes my fancy. I was thinking as I got to the last episode of how much is left of the original mini. This also proves I've been watching carefully... I think:The roofThe windowsA bit of the passenger back...

Engine crankshaft pully dmper
(Preview)
Hi BOM, Have you a fitted a crankshaft vibration damper. I thought it was deleted when you machined auxiliary drive system. I asked because of the youtube series Killing a Duramax on the Banks Power channel, with Gale Banks. This might be a dumb question, but I am concerned for you and Project Binky. Ki...

Your celebrity status?
(Preview)
I have a quick question, With all the viewers you have now, from all over the world, do you two feel like celebrities in any way? I'm from Canada, but I'm over in Derby working on a project for Rolls Royce for a few months, I've seen all your videos multiple times, it's great viewing while I'm stuck inside...

Episode 31

It's starting to look quite fabulous. There will not be one space cm^3 in that engine bay though and I fear the windscreen will melt when those punched vents start ducting the bay cooling air through them. Here's one car that will never have frozen washer jets (or a cat lying on the bonnet after parking u...

I think you boys are doing a great job of choosing music for the series.

Tell you what folks, that colour chosen for the powder coating looked very retro to me, put me in mind of some of the original Mk1 Mini colours. Wonder if we have been given a bit of a hint here?

Lower Timing Cover for Gen2 3SGTE
(Preview)
I spotted on the Facebook page that the boys are after one of these. I checked behind the sofa but alas found only an old boiled sweet. The Tamiya one I have looks a bit small - and I need it. Anyway, I guess that means that engine rebuild time is upon us. Which is nice. I'm guessing 10 episodes, with at least...

As we all know the journey of Project Binky has been outstanding!

The MAP sensor you have been showing
(Preview)
Unless things are a bit different over there, you have been showing a MAP sensor for an NA car. I would think that you would want at least a 2 BAR unit, if not a 3 BAR. Always nice to have a bit of headroom on the map, in case you just have to turn the boost up. The ECu that I was using in the rally car would not go...

5S Block

I had always assumed you guys were going to stick to the stock 3S block to stay within 2.0L displacement for rally regulations. Then, in the Q&A video you said firmly, again, that Binky would be a road car and wouldn't be allowed in any rally races. So that made me wonder if you'd considered using a 5...
