Like most enthusiastic hobbyists I have a fair collection of tools to do nearly everything - probably beyond any talent I may have but hey what's the worst that can happen??! So in episode 12 we see the appearance of a new toy the SIP tig welder - mmmmmmmm shiny I've been thinking about getting one for som...

New person here, I'm about to watch Episode 4. Between the beginning of it all and now, has anyone suggested a plasma cutter? Might be useful with the cutting. Think of the money you'd save on cheap grinders and abrasive wheels. You could put the savings towards tea. I've done a search. You might wan...

I've been watching the series a few times by now and i've learnt so much about cars, welding, and British comedy, and I cannot thank Nik and Richard enough for the series. However, i did develop a few questions watching alone as I starts to understand a bit more over time about the strength of certain par...

I started to rewatch the whole series again, and couldn't help but notice there is actually one shot with a spot welder on the screen when the first piece of shiny door post going in, but immediately it has been replaced by a dozen plug welds. And richard did mention the reason the first panel had predril...

Was having a discussion earlier on another forum (sorry) And the subject got around to the use of Binky on the road, some people seem to think this is a road car. others think its a rally car. Personally I suspect its a track day car and will never be road legal due to the strict BIVA test it would need to be...

Hi guys, love your work truly talented. Really keen to see what the Integrale badge you showed and said not supposed to see that will become. Any teasers as to any Integrale gear finding its way into Binky?

Greeting from the "colonies", The vents you pressed in the "scuttle panel"are both elegant and attractive. I was wondering what else might be done to cool the engine compartment. I assume that the extra space in the "wings" cant be used for plumbing or auxiliaries do to the epic articulation of the...

First off loving the build! anyway... The goal is to create one of the fastest Mini’s on the planet Ok for something to be the fastest it needs to be quantified - fastest at what? Are we just talking Minis with MOTs? Then what? Fastest 0-60? (IMHO a useless and out dated test) Fastest 1/4 mile? (better pe...

Well quiet Saturday evening so going through some of the videos in anticipation of EP12. Watching binky unplugged and it got me thinking, what happened to the celica to write it off?

Looks like Achim Korden, owner of the ring mini, has turned to rallying. Refresher of what the Ring mini is capable of:

I am curious to know how much stiffer the body shell is than a standard Mini. And how the weight compares. I haven't noticed any extra metal above the waist line, so it won't protect if you roll it.

Simply put, an amazing build. I have never been so fascinating with an on the side build. Completely sympathize with having no on the side time too. 1.) Fuel tank, pump and lines. 2.) Battery mounting and running the harness. 3.) Turbo and building the exhaust. (You already said you might show ex...

Will there be any upgrades done to the Celica Engine and if so what kind of upgrades? Thanks in advance!

Mini_Madness · Mini_Madness

How do you do it? i've always been curious about these things.

I'm thinking, since the Binky bodyshell (even with all the strengthening material added) will be "a little bit lighter" than the GT-4 will the suspension not be too firm for everyday road use? Sorry for asking such as stupid question. :)

emm..... Some say (I note Mr Kettle seems to have been less than prominent in Episode 11 - hence looking forward to normal service being resumed in Episode 12 (January 2016?) ) Keep up the january mood :)

Just wondering when 12 might be ready, after all you've probably had 10 days over Christmas despite the drinking!

Hey lads, where are you gonna put the fuel tank? The standard 7.5 gallon mini tank won't fit I'm thinking, your a lil bit tight for room in the boot and the rear diff takes up all the room under the boot floor, and I'm thinking binky will be a thirsty enough wee beastie, so what's the plan?

When? Sorry, I had to.

On BOM Facebook there were quite a lot of comments from Norwegians who seem to hold high opinions of themselves and had some comments directed towards drivers of other countries. I was able to unearth this vid with the latest on the BOM Norway 2015 season: [video=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Inspired by the genius that is Binky, I thought I'd have a go at fitting remote central locking to my own rather more modest project. Ideally I'd like to disable the original lock barrels, as they're so easy to force. How/Did you guys manage to get around this? - especially as the plate on the back of th...

Not that I'd want you to quit the day jobs, although you two clearly have skills to spare, but what ARE your day jobs (if you don't mind my asking). And i don't think you could convince me that Nik is a mortician, and that Richard is an aircraft pilot... I would hazard a guess that this welding/fabrication...

Any idea of a power to weight ratio For binky? I'm gonna say around 270bhp per ton, roughly, anybody else want to have a guess?
