You guys ever watch the project Binky series on youtube? classic mini with 5th gen GTfour engine and drive train.

No, haven't seen that one. That's a big project. I'll have to follow it.

 

Been like a 8 year project but they haven't left a single part of the car untouched. There is SOOOOO much custom work involved and they went above and beyond on other parts. Its really fun to watch how they did it. And they are British so they are naturally funny.

 

I don’t. Always a little painful to see someone cutting up a classic. But, when they do it, just makes ours that much more valuable.

However, we are looking at doing a bolt-in ev kit.

 

I can't decide if I'd rather get a fixer-up for an EV retrofit or stick with the classic old school drive train. What's got you leaning towards EV?

 

It’s a 998 that needs to come out for a refresh. Was thinking of a 1098 build but parts are getting tough to source. 1275 cores are all but dried up and hoarded by folks like minimania for their $10k crate motors.

For that same 10k I can have a kitted out bolt-in ev swap. More power and easier to get on the road. I won’t do Honda swap or the like because of cutting.

We will see, 998 is coming out when it warms and will get some attention.

 

Yeah those VTEC swaps are a ton of work and cutting.

 

Anybody want some free stuff with the catch being you take it all? Stock exhaust, stock skid plate, diff drop, JBL navigation head unit, Joying head unit, stock JBL speakers (sans sub), Cali Raised console molle panels. Cleaning out the garage. I had posted a CL ad, but I don't want the hassle anymore and it doesn't feel right to just throw the stuff away. I live in Delano.

 

Anyone else ready to move out of this frozen state?

 

Tell you what, I love winter, but the drag out this year has been getting to me

 

SAME!! I expect at least one snow fall in April now days but the fact its still 30s and snowing is really getting old. The girlfriend and I are about to get a trailer and go on the road by this time next year or earlier. I love the snow but I can't stand how cold it is now.

 

The handful of nice days we've had lately has made the tease worse

 

Other than the crazy winds, I think this is pretty much every April. Warms up a few days or maybe a week in early April just to get everyone excited and then cold again until nearly May.

I hate yard work, so I don't mind. Let it snow!

 

Bemidji missed all the crap other places got the last few days. Except today there's big flakes coming down. All I want to do is truck stuff in the driveway like a normal person!

 

I hear you on that I keep starting projects on the nice days and then I can't finish them before its back in the 30s

 

My forecast says 50 by NEXT Saturday, otherwise garbage cold temps in between.

 

The wind here has been crazy. Especially when you are surrounded by fields with nothing to block it.

 

Gimme 4 months and I’ll be bitching about the heat

 

4 months? I’ll probably be bitching about it in may or June lmao
