Thanks for showing the reality of project cars, you hardly ever finish on time and in budget... especially when Aus post is saddling Snails 🐌 for some delivery's 😂
@@honestpat7789Ain't that the bloody truth. Ordered parts online from 20mins away in VIC, but they don't allow pick ups, ordered Haltech from Sydney, Kelford cams with springs and retainers from NZ. Cams showed up first followed closely by Haltech, bloody parts from down the road took the longest.
Didn't even bother putting the engine on the stand, working on the floor to save as much time 👍 Very keen to see the Lexcen going. Chin up mate, you're still going to have two great cars for next year.
You did what you could with what you had Scotty hats off to you mate I can’t believe how quickly the lexcen has come along I thought it was going to be a 2024 thing
Hold your head high Scotty, valiant (pardon the pun)effort pushing for 2 cars to be finished by Drag Week. Just think about how you will DOMINATE next Drag Week with all the testing you’ll be able to do once they’re done. Love the content, keep up the awesome work 👍
Monster effort, Scotty. It sucks that you didn’t make it to drag challenge with any of your cars. Once you do get them on the surface, it’ll be fantastic. Very proud of your achievements mate, you are doing a fantastic job. Some of your best builds yet!
Having good tools around you is the deal breaker. Certainly coming together reasonably quickly alot of hard work. You've more patience than me I do everything twice three times here and I'm losing it nowadays. Looking gawjus mate that haircut..
Flash as Mexican racing tadpole with that haircut mate. The heartache when the torque convertor wasn't going to arrive in time was real. We appreciate the immense work that goes into doing these builds, and the silver lining is, you'll soon have TWO amazing cars to play with and fully test before the next drag challenge. And I'll put my hand up right now for ride along on DC in the Lexen. Thatcar is magic.
i watch a ton of automotive related youtube stuff an i gotta admit, Scotty is my fav 🤙 Keep at it lads, lovin all the different cool projects going on at the moment its killer
🥲🥲🥲 I’m sooo sad that the ute will not make it. Hopefully Scotty you can take your time with the ute do it once and do it right. Fully support for the lexcen 👍👍👍. Just seeing the modifications you are doing just to make it work is incredible keep up the good work.👍👍👍
Good old AusPost!!! I know they sort a lot of mail but that's a big parcel to go missing. Shame neither vehicle made it but still good watching these get bolted together 👍
Fark dude, I'm going to try my best to make you feel better by telling a similar, short version of a long story. Basically, I spent the entire year looking forward and organising a Fraser Island trip. I decided it'd be a good idea to freshen up my old land rover to make it happy again (it's got 470 thousand km on it). I ordered everything months in advance, pulled the engine, and did the usual things, no rebuild, just water pump, clutch, cooling hoses, etc. I found extras and things like incorrect drive belts costing precious time. I pulled a few 20-hour day/night sessions after finding the balancer was split, and I couldn't get my hands on one. I ended up repairing it with a polyurethane meant for something else, and all started first hit of the key. I throw my pooch in the back seat to go for a test drive and make sure it's fine. It went completely fine, all sweet. Following morning is the 2am start to join the convoy and get the barge. It starts, develops a misfire, and then had nothing. I spent the next two days trying to make it happen but couldn't figure it out in time. I miss the trip all together because the spacer between the crank sensor and bell housing had disappeared. It hurts, I feel your pain.
@STREETMACHINETV Fraser is awesome, a much needed getaway from the grind. It's a place where the phone doesn't work unless you really want it to, nothing to worry about except the temperature of the fridge.
@@dinosshed Dad a Land Rover 109 and one of those satchel phones in the 90s he could make business call from Fraser and people would look at him like WTF!
Things are happening... Well I think we know what happened, but great to see progress on the Lexcen V8, and Scotty surely deserves a well earned holiday.
Luv it...a back up for a back plan keeps the show on the road. Hmmm any prize to guess numbers for this combo 😂 tbh I don't have a clue I am curious and I guess will come up in a future episode of Carnage one of the best Aussie automotive channels. Cheers boys good luck and can't wait to see the results.
@@someyoungguy6990 Nah, not likely. I'd say closer to 500, 550. The Skid Factory boys have done a few of these "power cube" swaps with a snail, and unless you go all out you tend to get around 500-550 at the wheels on a safe tune. Remember, those engines only made 280 at the flywheel stock.
How funny is that I just received some 4AWG wire and terminals this morning and have them sitting on my keyboard ready to put together once I finish watching your video. I paid way less than what you did for your crimpers (like 1/5th price for the same things, if you paid for yours). Thanks for that timely stripping tip, I am going to use that.
Hate to hear it Scotty. I work under Aussie post in a regional town. Every October begins the build up to Xmas meaning they are progressively getting more busy every week. Still enjoying the content mate.
With the whiskers mate you can just knock em' in with the mallet and bite em' off on the inside. Love the haircut tho' I'll have to get one of those angle grinders but wouldn't a circular saw be a bit quicker?
What a major bummer, not having the second car ready as well. Damn if it wasn't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all. While I was initially disapointed not to see a ute video, it turned out to be a good video anyway with a couple of things I learned along the way not only the stripping tip, but what oil to use in the trutrack diff in my electric trike. Looking forward to next Friday.
@@STREETMACHINETVof course it bloody did…..might as well have been today. Auspost sh1t me, no accountability. Can’t blame the spicy cough anymore, but they somehow do
@@STREETMACHINETV so typical brother, always happens 😂 😂 they are both going to be impressive cars and builds which you can truely enjoy for a long time to come. Any news on the Taxi and what’s happening with that ole girl?
Bloody shame you couldn't get it finished mate. You did everything that you could to make it happen, and looked devastated about the converter not arriving. Did you bench test the starter motor before installing it? Looks like a hassle to replace it after the engine is back together.
Oh Scotty you busted you arse only to be let down by Australia Post 😞 So looking forward to the next vid's where I have no doubt you will finish this one off!
Yeah thats beyond annoying. At least you're looking sharp with that haircut :D Interested to see how she goes with that diff ratio behind the 1UZ. I'm doing a similar build and I have 3.9 diff gears. A lot of people have been saying to get a T400 but I want to keep the A340 due to its .7 overdrive and lock up converter. It's still a street car and I dont want to be sitting on 4000rpm on the highway.
Good old Australia post I have had several jobs screwed over for the exact same reason give them plenty of time and they still screw it up really going forward hey enjoy
Just in the interest of clarity, we paid for most of it. However, every business went above and beyond and knocked it out in record time. It was Aus Post that let us down
Really sorry you missed out with both of them mate, know you put your heart and soul into these things. But you'll be spoiled for choice for the next Drag Challenge. :)
Even though I knew you didn't make the event in the ute it is hard to still not be disapointed for you. I've never thrashed to make an event, so I can't really say I know how that feels. Hopefully we will see more ute content in the future.
Sometimes making thing work has to be done. All the bells and whistles can help but it won't do the job for you and a simple machine is all you need. However, that bell housing has the potential to turn into a "passionate part" it will simply f#@k everything it touches. These are the silly thing that catch people out when you're not careful! Hey Scotty, that Panhard bar kinda looks like it has been hit and bent at the threads. Good part is you can always press a little more bend into it and adjust it later if it does kiss the diff. Snail mail can go f#@k themselves with a secondhand co#k! Buggers messed up a good project!!!
First words out of my mouth was get a bigger hammer. Mate what an episode. Car shit, KT-26 action, a cameo from she and shifter action. Can’t ask for more from a Carnage episode
if all else fails There alway taxi hide at the back of shot !!! Even if It's not ready to run 10 !!!! Scottie stop teasing this girl and get taxi back out !!!!
I did think you time line was a bit ambitious, im building the same type thing I've been at it 8 months now and the more I try rush the longer its taking, waiting for parts and machine work delays are Killing me. I was hoping for getting it turn key by the end of summer at best
@@STREETMACHINETVno problem mate. Sorry you didn't get the cars sorted man, must be so frustrating being held back by a fucking misplaced torque converter. I'm excited to see the ute and this thing skid
People don't talk about it because they pay someone else to do it, some other guy spends half the time they could to do it because it's Thier job. I bought a mill, best thing I've bought, secondhand and old but means I'm independent to get my projects done mostly. Need a lathe to go with it now. So yes, carnage needs a mill and lathe.
Pity about the ute Scotty, but hopefully you'll have it done for next year. Hopefully the Toyota Commodore wagon will save the day! Scotty, about that flash looking haircut, any chance you're going for the job interview as The Stig for Top Gear Australia? Something has to be going on if you got a cut & trim mate!

@@STREETMACHINETV Some say that he's the head of the Dunlop KT26 Appreciation Society, others say that he was the first to use a Barra engine in a mobility scooter, all we know is that they call him Scotty! But you'd have a helmet on mate, no one will know!
Never use Auspost if you need it. Stuff sits in their warehouses for days and weeks. Express parcels come no quicker or slower. Most of the time it works but if you need it by a certain time you can’t trust them.
What a pain in the arse Scotty. Bloody Aussie Post. somebody is looking at a torque converter in a warehouse somewhere thinking, I didn’t order that. You are looking a lot better Scotty it was starting to look like living on the street machine lol
Never give up Scotty mate, you can do it, Au Post, call them send email's, find out who was the driver and picker via their system or better still there must be a different supplier in AU who can send it straight away? Who is the transport company what is handling it, the tracking number etc, so you can track it, they know where it is its stuck in a warehouse somewhere for sure and someone forgot to collect it etc. 🚓🚓👌👌✌✌👍👍
Had about half a dozen goes trying to get these damn wires in, I figured I must be doing something wrong, so I just checked the video again. My terminals don't look quite big enough to slip over the wire, they are close but look a bit small. Maybe these cheap Chinese terminals are undersize. You certainly didn't have any problems getting all the wire in.
@@STREETMACHINETV yeah I figured that would play a big part in making it look so easy. Even trying to gently push the wires in with small screw driver, I couldn't get them all in. I decided to separate just enough that I could get most of them in and crimp it. The ones that didn't fit it I covered with shrink wrap so it touched the outside of the terminal. I figure it is better to have them touch the outside of the terminal than cut them off.
Still working through it but feeling like it will have a sad ending. Edit -finished. Poor Scott. He tries so hard. 😢. But I have to say I love that you show how things really are. 👍👍👍
Move over George Clooney…. That haircut alone is gunna double the female viewers. Bit sucky about not getting either car to drag challenge, but it just makes the suspense even greater as we wait for the completion of these two beasts.
You doing alright Scottie. Amateur...well if was a steel bell was on the table and a you're applying a deep cut climb milling, well then the "amateur" factor will coming out in grand fashion . Possibly watch your job jump and crash into the quill/spindle and make nice loud screeching, grinding, metallic noises, lol. Welcome to the world of machine tools Scott!!

Still working through it but feeling like it will have a sad ending. Edit -finished. Poor Scott. He tries so hard. 😢. But I have to say I love that you show how things really are. 👍👍👍
Atleast the torque convertor is lost with Australia Post. If it was lost with Startrack you'd have no chance.
At least your head looks better mate! 🥴 Did the converter turn up ever? 🤔
Scotty answered this before like this...'We ended up getting it first day of Drag Challenge'
Move over George Clooney…. That haircut alone is gunna double the female viewers. Bit sucky about not getting either car to drag challenge, but it just makes the suspense even greater as we wait for the completion of these two beasts.
You doing alright Scottie. Amateur...well if was a steel bell was on the table and a you're applying a deep cut climb milling, well then the "amateur" factor will coming out in grand fashion . Possibly watch your job jump and crash into the quill/spindle and make nice loud screeching, grinding, metallic noises, lol. Welcome to the world of machine tools Scott!!
Can take both next year
Surely you’d whack a brand new starter in while the manifold is off?!? 😬
Budgets are tight
@@STREETMACHINETV time will be tight if you’re at the track and you have pull the intake just to do a starter… 😂
Gota be quickist lexon getten around.
Quickest we've seen is 8.0 down the quarter, so there are quicker ones out there
