I disagree, there is nothing jerry-rigged or mickey moused together on this build. This is all very very well thought out and executed.

I'd love to see a timeline of build decisions made (like knowing to machine the crank pulley to accept the timing wheel way back when God's dog was a pup).

The way I look at it if you are buying parts then have to make a bracket to mount a bracket to make the part work that is Jerry-rigging. I am not dogging on their work at all. They have laid out this build amazingly well. I don't see how you can say shoehorning a gts4 into a mini isn't mickey mousing and jerry-rigging. In my book, they went professional level mickey mousing. I have seen some pretty stupid pro builds. I have yet to see anything on this that makes me scratch my head.

These guys are incredibly gifted if you ask me and fun to watch.

Bloody fooking talented innit?

Gotcha - I've always thought of jerry-rigging as a fast and dirty way to get things working (It may work, but it probably won't last and you damn sure don't want to be showing it off). Example: in my mind if they had mounted the power steering pump with zip ties, that would be jerry-rigging.

That's an entirely different kind of rigging, altogether. Roll Eyes

As an FYI, the guys have paused Binky for awhile to produce weekly episodes about a build of a $1k race car: Bargain Racement. First episode went up on 9/20, next due on 9/27.

Looks like they'll be back on Binky sometime in late October.

Still no new episodes after 32.

I just re-watched #32.

I need an OCD fix.

I had heard about this, but never gave it a watch, guess I know what I'll be doing instead of starting a new show.

Another good one, though he works on many projects at once, is Casey Putsch. He's working on a coachbuilt V12 supercar, based on a Boxster platform with a manual BMW V12 from a 90s 7-series.

He runs an engineering internship nonprofit as well & they're working on a Lykan Hypersport, using the body from the Fast & Furious stadium show. Again, based on a Boxster platform, but heavily modified.

Cool
9 episodes in.
Lots of clever engineering & some good laughs.
Their 'CAD' work is amusing & works really well.

And now 25 episodes in, can't imagine having wait through these time gaps between episodes.

That's one heck of a paint job, but I couldn't help feeling Derek Bieri's shiny stuff makes me nervous sentiment just looking at it. lol

Hard to imagine they only have 366k subscribers. I suppose they don't appeal to todays short attention span, instant gratifications crowd.

(Yet people who put out multiple videos a week have several million subs. Why? You know there's going to be new stuff every couple days, there's no reason to. Shows like this, that may have 3-4 videos a year tops are the very one's to subscribe to and sign up for notifications, so you'll when the new one's are out.)

That's another fine rabbit hole you've tossed me down, Ollie!

I'd like to have about one tenth of their skill. Not to mention resources and toy...uh...tools.




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Bummer, all caught up now.
Will have to check out some of their other non-Binky episodes. Hopefully they have shorter gaps between releases, going forward.

But, that paint job is fantastic Eek
