At work we finally announced a collection of Group 4 and Group B rally cars we've been curating since the start of the year, consisting of a Lancia Stratos, Renault 5 Turbo 2, Citroen BX4TC, Peugeot 205 T16, and a Ford RS200 Evolution. We've got a ton of media on the cars, so here's what we've publicly shared so far. I think this is pretty AI and hope you all enjoy it!

Stripped back to a shell, getting a massive cleanup and tidyup and another set of subframes to fix issues, power steering is a real problem for cooling and likes to blow its fluid, last event it oil starved due to unexpected ability to generate lateral grip and spun a bearing so it's getting a much more built motor and better baffling.

You know, all the issues of a unique high effort build that would seem to be much easier solved if it was done with a multi million dollar budget. Getting the project running is one thing, as even Nik Blackhurst found out with Project Binky wild projects even really well thought out and built have a habit of biting you in the rear end to keep them running.

Oh it was completely expected - unlike Yoootoobers that hide the ugly bits we completely know and understand how unique builds actually go!

What happened to Binky anyway? They got it running briefly for that one video but there hasn't been any real news since.

I kinda felt like Project Binky was finished. I just looked and am surprised that Escargot hasn't been update in 3 years. Project Racement took up some time, but that was about two years ago at this point.

Interior and electrical stuff. They're currently working on a bespoke gauge cluster, since the custom Smiths (I think it was) gauges that Nik had made don't even match each other.
Nik is learning circuit design to make a flexible printed circuit like OEMs use to keep the depth of the gauges down, since there's essentially no room (as usual.) Richard is busy being a Tory asshat online.
