I'm sure someone has asked before, so sorry to repeat the question, but what are the back tales of you guys?

One in video editting or just a hobby?
Designing the jig must have been through various projects. What pays the bills, general mechanics or the modification scene?

And any idea what spec turbo you will be replacing the standard one with?

You had me worried what with 17" wheels, a bonnet scoop and moving the front forward! Glad to see it is going to be as standard looking as possible. Top work guys!

The Q&A session on our channel will answer some of your questions. Nik works in the motor trade and I work in the motorsport industry. We both have full time jobs, so this is a weekend only project. Absolutely no video editing/production experience whatsoever going into the build, so we're making it up as we go along.

Is it possible to change the final ratio to sort out the 13" wheel/revs issue?

Another great video! Thanks for making the effort.

Was the comment at the start about sexist remarks relating to Nik's wife (or is she your wife? I can't remember) serious? I hope not but I found it hard to tell...

Thanks for all the kind comments guys!

Regarding Nik's remarks, he wasn't serious; one of the most amazing things about this whole experience is how fantastically supportive and positive the comments are, especially on our YouTube channel. It can often degenerate into a massive st fight. That whole sequence was just a way to shoehorn the 'head' gag in. Nothing more sinister than that! I kinda wish you could have all seen Sarah's face the first time I showed her the finished video.... ;-)

I need more and more of this every time an episode comes up!

That door mechanism is a stroke of genius. I hope he does go for full air con etc as mentioned just so we get to enjoy more videos and mad man solutions!

I'll give you my next child (if she gets her way) for a 5 minute passenger ride when it's done!!

Fantastic again guys, brilliant thinking re the cooling, have you got time for another q&a session? given your relocating most components are they still going in the engine bay or are you going to have to encroach into the passenger space? And what is the options list looking like, you've mentioned air con, seen the fantastic windows... What else is on the wish list?

I have just found these video's.

Genius guys, genius!

I can't believe how much you have managed to shoe horn into a Mini whilst still keeping it looking img like a Mini and keeping all four seats.

Quick update:

Hoping to have the next episode out around Christmas time. We'll know a bit more after this weekend, lots to do. In the meantime, we've set up a Patreon page. This allows any of you to become a patron of Bad Obsession Motorsport. Essentially it's a tool for you to be able to give us your money... There's no obligation whatsoever; we'll still be building Binky and bringing you episodes as fast as we can, all on YouTube and all without ads and not behind a pay-wall.

If you would like to contribute and help us out with the enormous cost of tea and biscuits, then we'd be delighted. If not, it's absolutely no problem.

We've got our eyes on a very special project for series 2 and we're hoping that Patreon will assist us to produce that series so much faster.

If you'd like to take a look at our Patreon page to see what it's all about then here's the link: http://www.patreon.com/badobsessionmotorsport
