Project Binky
Re: Project Binky
Ah but the battery won't charge, effectively isolating it from the next time you try to start it
Re: Project Binky
I've just bought these to give them a try;

The bits I want to do aren't in the car atm though, so doubtless easier than doing anything in situ.

Re: Project Binky
The main function of the battery isolator switch is to isolate the battery ( surprise surprise ) so shorts don't cause a fire. It doesn't really matter which lead it's on as long as it breaks the circuit.
It's not a race car so won't be an external switch which would also be linked to the ignition circuit. As a road car it'll have a handy other primary device to disable the ignition circuit - the key ( or a n other switch or button depending which clever but complex system they go for )

Yes!
Apart from using black cable ties on the red power cable in the distribution board, when they'd used red cable ties fixing it to the floor.
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

Re: Project Binky
Thank you for all the comments on our latest video, it's quite overwhelming! Couple of things to clear up: it's a dry build right now so we're not adding grommets or anything until final assembly after paint. Can't believe some would think we'd forget that! Also, there's no need for a fuse in the big red starter cable; there wasn't one on the MG loom, nor have we ever put one in any other car. The main live to the power distribution board goes directly to a large fuse. Looking forward to bringing you the next one!

Re: Project Binky
I will be sad when they finish it!
Re: Project Binky
Yep me too. Any more news on what they would do next?
Re: Project Binky
Wonder if they'll own up to it being modified ( ) when insuring it?
Re: Project Binky
One of the comments in the project Binky videos put me onto the channel of these two Australian guys, they recently finished off a 240z with RB26 conversion which was very nicely done IMO:
There's some good builds in there with all sorts being done and covered in a decent amount of detail and they are decent presenters too.

I've been watching MCM for ages, they do some pretty cool stuff. There's a show on the their back up channel called Skid Factory that's based at the shop of Allan (Turbo Yoda) that's also well worth watching.

Re: Project Binky
Their Bedford van project seems to have gone a bit quiet, I hope it's being finished off and a final episode is in the making.
Cheers, Harry
Re: Project Binky
They had gone to the US to run Hot Rod drag week in the Toyota they built on MCM. The next episode of the build has just gone up.

Re: Project Binky
At this rate it'll be finished by 2027!
