You went on and on about the carpet you were using but never mentioned a brand or any details. Could you provide some info? Thanks!

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...

Who else would like to see that go down???

Kirk · Kirk

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...

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...

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...

In the next week or two Coming thick and fast What do we think to make sure the Safe-T turbo fit - bonnet bulge? - extended front? - clearance holes cut through the rads? ... or was the whole redesign of the rad pack to gain an inch a few episodes ago all part of the cunning plan?!? "if it ain't 10' long it ain...

Apologies if it's already been covered but could you point me in the right direction for the source of the kit the guys used on the bolts etc? Thanks in advance!

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...

Really enjoy the Binky shows. Your team does a great job making it fun. So much so, I ordered a onesie to wear for my wife. Cheers. Matt -- Edited by mbuc310 on Thursday 14th of May 2020 06:58:28 PM

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...

As ever fella’s - excellent! Re we going to see you fabricate a timing cover?

Kirk · Kirk

At least 2 new Binky videos this week... Escargot mobile medical centre done by the end of the month... Nick demonstrates how to make portable ventilators from defunct angle grinders? Well, maybe not the last one.

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?

Kirk · Kirk

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! But with Binky now stripped and off on his jollies to the paint shop what of all the outstanding issues Arch bucks are being remade Wheels are just "proof of concept" Manifold is being ceramic coated but what of the rest of the turbo set up a...

Happy New Year Binkophiles. Nik/Richard: On one of your very occasional and much-deserved tea breaks <cough>, could I trouble you to offer a tape measure to the big blue jig? I'm interested in the approximate length, width and height for a small project I have on the go. The white lettering hei...

So, when are we going to see the wheel arches/mudguards manufactured from the yellow formers that are currently on the car do you think? while we are at it, when do you all think we will see some proper wheels because it is currently clear on the “proof of concept“ ones...

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...

Curious as to the artist of the "Getting the funk out" music. Nik and Richard's alter ego, kinda like those "Daft Punk" guys?

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...

Blimey, that is a hell of a compact radiator system they’ve got going there. Love be the bit after the credits (as usual).

Apart from building the engine itself?

Hi there. Where can I buy the blue tool used to de-pin the electrical plugs in Episode 19? Thanks David

Kiwi Paul · Kiwi Paul

I expect it somewhere around the end of February, to cover instrument panel, sound system, wiring up doors, wipers and all the other stuff. Engine? not for a long time
