[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

Looks fantastic I can’t believe how much you’ve managed to stuff in under that tiny little bonnet but you’ve made a super job of it 👍

[@performanceclassics1986]

Thanks very much 👍 It’s a real pain to work on due to lack of space

[@tonyaylott4555]

God this is nice. I always had a soft spot for the clubman grill too. Right up my street! It’s a credit to you. Well done.

Great to see the engine back in. I like to ask why you have kept the yellow fan bolted to the engine? When you have a electric fan in the wing. Would you make better air follow and space by removing it off the engine and make a bit more bhp and the same time. Every little helps to make that 200bhp.

[@performanceclassics1986]

Absolutely and I did think about removing it. The only reason I’ve left the engine fan on is so that the electric fan doesn’t get over used. I would imagine it would have to run constantly to hold temperatures back. Even thought about fitting a 2 blade fan because apparently they also sap way less power.

I really like and respect the Project Binky boys work but I actually prefer the look of Craig’s Clubman.

[@performanceclassics1986]

🤣🤣 cheers. Don’t let Nick and Richard hear you saying that 🤣🤣🤣. They are a very very talented bunch. I’m a big fan of Nick Blackhurst in particular. He has some impressive skills 😎

Hi I just want to say I am really enjoying this build all the way down in sunny SA. I was wondering have you managed to finish it yet?

[@performanceclassics1986]

@@dominiquebeech2784 Yes it’s all complete now but hasn’t seen much road use due to having loads of other things to do. I’m planning on getting it used a lot more next summer 🤞🤞🤞

[@dominiquebeech2784]

@@performanceclassics1986 do you have any videos of it completed? I would love to show my younger brother as we both owned the same many once upon a time but at it at different times in our lives.

@@dominiquebeech2784 I will try and get a video of it soon, hopefully before the end of summer 🤞🤞

@@nealthomas5943 yeah just in the last few days Neal. Really enjoyed a good drive out in it on Friday.

[@philtucker1224]

Craig where you’ve fitted that new thick wall rubber piping just above to the side of the headers I would usually make a simple aluminium heat shield to coil around the pipe near the headers..

[@performanceclassics1986]

@@philtucker1224 👍 it’s a fair bit away from the heat but yeah it’s a very good point

[@shoominati23]

Do you know who does performance camshafts for these? tah

[@performanceclassics1986]

I’m not sure if specialist components do or not but If they don’t, they will know who does. Give them a call. There very helpful
