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...

That's rhetorical! I really don't want an answer! ...and does "Josh Paterson" know he's 'riding' Deaths steed?

Where are you planning to put the battery? Some genius has put a bloody big rear axle where it used to live.

What do we have in store to make this delightful little Mini tootle along the country lanes? Starting with a base of Toyota 2 litre Turbo 3S-GTE engine with 200bhp & 200lbft Fast Car suggest... 300bhp possible with the standard turbo and injectors. Upgrades we know about already is the turbo, s...

Hi Guys, A question, since you have to bin the distributor (who needs 19th century tech anyway). Where will you get the cam and crank signals?. I'm guessing there had to be a cam/crank sensors for the injection but were they inside the distributor or separate? I'm across the pond and haven't yet found...

Following a cheese-induced nightmare, I have come to the realisation that we need to know what's under the sheet.... It clearly isn't a Christmas tree, a kettle or Michele Mouton....so what is it?

Very nicely done guys. Actually that went down even better than you think because my mate has lost the handle off his BOM mug so I sent him a link to your "instructional video"; I think it was well received

With so little space for even the most essential components (like a sump), is there any scope at all for air con to be fitted to the car? Minis sold in Japan from around 1994 had an air conditioning system fitted to them. God knows how they fitted it all in under the bonnet, and the interior parts of the syst...

Having built and rallied four minis from age 17 to 30 something, and modifying many mini heaters to get better window demisting whilst rallying and trying to get better wipers too, I am hoping that Nik and Richard have done their usual great job of improving what they touch when it comes to Binkys heat...

The question is not if, its a question of when? when will the dry sump be put on the car?
