cstmg8 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 I don't subscribe, but it pops up regularly on my feed due to the channels I am subscribed to. I typically skim through the videos and can't believe the amount of work that they've put into this thing. It'll be pretty awesome to see it moving under it's own power!

zeitgeist57 Posted October 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Man, I gotta say the stance looks horrible from the front and rear...way too wide but there's a ton going on under that MINI skin. Cool to see it kinda running and driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever driven an original mini? Bouncy and cheap is kind of their thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Have you ever driven an original mini? Bouncy and cheap is kind of their thing. so they spent 7 years building a car and making it better, but its still bouncy and cheap just like the original. I think you just proved his point in the comment he made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 so they spent 7 years building a car and making it better, but its still bouncy and cheap just like the original. I think you just proved his point in the comment he made. It's short wheelbase, so you'll never really get rid of bouncy. Doesn't mean it's not tons better. The original Austin mini used a cone and trumpet suspension which is literally a rubber cone and some solid bushings in place of an actual spring and a fluid filled shock. having modern pieces is def better all around. As far as cheap - it's just the flares that make it look like that. a lot of modded mini's historically used trailer fender style flares since there is no room to move rubber inboard on a mini. I feel like people are being too critical for something that is just on brand for what is a tiny shitbox car with a racing pedigree mostly because it was small and cheap.

Otis Nice Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Nah. Buck has a tiny shitbox cheap car and we like it. JP builds tiny shibox cheap cars and we like them. That thing looks like ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizin01 Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Sounds and runs like stuff I self tune. ;-) Pretty disappointing looks wise for all that went into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted October 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 I'm more interested in The Escargot. Their "cheap" Project Racement series was very cool to watch. Not hating on Project Binky....but goes to show how much you get invested in something only to be somewhat disappointed by the final outcome. Still a very cool car. It really is crazy to know all of the time and engineering that went into all the packaging you can't see under the skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
