Hurrah for self-isolation
(Preview)
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.

Episode 29
(Preview)
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...

Outstanding stuff

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...

Big Blue Jig
(Preview)
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...

Wheel arches
(Preview)
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...

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
(Preview)
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...

You know the guys added some mounting points to future proof the car “just in case (they) needed to add a cage at some point in the future”? we know how far in advance some of this pla has been so I think I may have worked something out. We all know they visit Goodwiod as some of us have visited them there. We al...

A quick question about the flexi shaft

i,m really loving this series, I feel I have learned a lot just watching the progression. And that’s where my problem started, I started a build of my own thinking it would be as easy as you make it look, it’s not. I have a question about the flex shaft, I’m trying to supercharge a 1.7L Honda motor, and l...

Got the hat, got the mug, don't got the key-ring - where's the key-ring guys? Fellers the world over would be proud to drive around in their scrap-mobiles wearing a Binky key-ring on their ignition keys, so why ever not? Besides which my dinky little floating lifeboat key-ring just lost the last link...

Not with standing the need to go with the celica diameter to maintain the gearing and brake clearance, are you looking at being totally celica stock with the style and size of the wheel or are you planning on larger wheels and lower profile tyres? I know that on a mini celica wheels will look huge anyway b...

There are lots of trolls and spammers on the Net. We are being pestered by one of them. I am aware that Nick, Rik and Rex are very busy with car projects, and making videos about them. Maybe the solution is a 'Spam alert' button - if more than a certain number of members of this site hit it, the troll goes o...
