Yeah it took too damn long! Heathcote is a great venue but a long drive from Melbourne. They used to run twilight club racing at Calder where they linked the main circuit to the Thunderdome. A long long lap, those were the days.
@@Sterling_Archer777I'm not surprised in the current financial situation in the entire country, but it would be very sad to see Heathcote close. They did so much to update and get it going again recently. I grew up going to Calder for everything from street to top fuel drags, circuit and Thunderdome races. With a little drag racing there myself decades ago.
King of the dash mat reflexes 👌🏻👌🏻 it just topped of the video well done Scotty I think this car is going to be a fun one 110% has to feature at a power cruise somewhere in due time just seeing how it loves to get messy on the roll as soon as she comes up on boost 👍🏻
Agreed, the camera and editing on this one were mint. I reckon Matt is a big part of getting the 'feel' of Carnage just right, helps that he genuinely seems to love this stuff too. Can't wait to see what this beast of a car does on its next run!
Ha that is cool that Calder is back up and running again Scotty. A not so wise closet Alcoholic once said to me out there 25 years ago where's the fu*ken esky ??? Not a bottle shop for miles 🤣👍🍻Intact no broken bits thats a win for Carnage
Electronic wastegate could be a cool addition to help you off the line, would make interesting content on boost control strategies too. Good work Scotty, great build so far
So good to see you able to enjoy the fruits of your labours Scotty. It's a really cool sleeper, I love it. At least it didn't break in a bad way - even if it did mean a late night!
Scotty, you're Spidey senses are improving car by car. The next dash mat will not even get a chance to leave the dash with those ninja reflexes 🤘😅 #hldyoda
can't be top notch the first time out. we'd have no content to watch and we can't have that can we? been waiting for a while for this one and will keep watching to make sure you get that 10 and maybe even a 9
Well done Scotty, just noticing on your roll racing they were mashing it right on the green well before you were... pretty sure they would've been hosed by the might of Hoyota.
The converter is definitely a bit tight. It helps for dyno numbers but the 60 ft is getting slaughtered by it. My Fairmont used to do exactly the same. It'd stroll out to the 60 like a flat diesel and then launch. Hugely frustrating.
Love your work as always Scotty! The dash mat again gave me a good laugh haha. Sucks that the alternator packed it in right as you were about to go home. Will be interesting to see if you nail down that weird vibration, I'm super curious about that too. Also be interesting to see what you do with the brakes. Keep up the good work and content mate, looking forward to the next one!!
Nah needs interceptors all around with Toyota lexcen hubcaps and street radials on the rear obviously when it’s raced rear hubcaps have to be removed for safety reasons. Interceptors and chrome trims will make you start to have a second look at the rig
Hey Scotty. The car you remind me of is a 1995 Nissan Pulsar SSS 5 door hatchback. With turbo - Grandpa spec look. Factory. All the wonders of my Asperger's sense of humour. From Bill.
Awesome video....now I'm waiting for the Ute to come out and play....then I can decide my new fav car of Carnage fleet. Even with a big ass turbo strapped to the Toyota V8, I have found a whole new respect for a motor I knew little about.
Hey scotty good test session finding the smaller issues with no major problems looking forward too faster times .From watching the build with available space in engine bay what are the best options with the lack of a brake booster ? Hiace booster mounted inside , small booster in engine bay with electric vacuum pump or some other direction ? Im guessing there are no of the shelf kits for a 1uz into a lexcen braking system.
that converter seems really tight, its not even that big of a turbo for the 1UZ either, that will be an easy mid/low 10 second car once that is sorted ! absolute powerskid machine though haha
If those are 16 inch "pursuit" steelies you can fit 300mm slotted rotors and the factory 4 piston calipers on it pretty cheaply and easily. If you chuck some 17 inch alloys on it you can go with 330mm (14 inch) two piece rotors and 6 piston aftermarket calipers from Hoppers Stoppers - they're pricey, but when you hit them hard you'll be peeling your eyeballs off the inside of the front windscreen...
Oh yes, the shakedown shit show! It's like calling heads or tails on everything with a hand full of coins at once.....Either way still a good run, just get the stoppers and that vibration sorted before you need all new fillings. Anyone else waiting for a "f#@koff" when the dash mat went full send?
Im sorry Scotty. I call golfs slowboys for a reason 😅 Hopefully youll get it hooked up and use all that power its got. Love the build, love the channel!
Still, Lexcen went A to B with no problems, so I'd call that a win on it's first drag strip run! My last build was a 709 whp 1997 Civic coupe with a fully built LSVTEC turbo and it was SCARY fast on drag radials, but I could never really get a clean time out of it without slicks and a fully dialed suspension.
That vibration seems pretty severe Scotty, even saw quite a bit of scuttle shake between the steering column and dash early in the runs, is the column bolted down solid?
@@STREETMACHINETV if there's no boost or lockup at that rpm, you've got some choices - Nitrous to spool, converter swap, lift the twostep threshold, change the final drive ratio … probably more I've forgotten
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family, Choose a fucking big television Choose washing machines, cars, Compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. 10s easy. 9s, I think you’re choosing death 😂
Old girl needs a two-step or a trans brake so it can build boost off the line. If you can get it to cut down to even a 2.0 or a 1.8 it'll run close to a 10.
I've never heard of a "clutch booster"! WTF!!! That must be one hell of a big clutch to actually need to add a booster, usually non-assisted hydraulic is plenty
awwww... fuckin alternators... Back in the 90's I seized one on the way to sydney from melbs... Drove there and back with a nike shoelace turning the waterpump. Fucked the battery at the end of the trip too.
back in my drag racing days when we won super stock we had to pull the heads off so they could see we were legal the meet would finish about 11-11.30 by the time you get weight its 12.30 then you got to pull a head, we didn't get loaded till 3.30 time you got home unloaded the car get a pizza you didn't hit the pillow till 5, group 2 wasn't that fun you had to deal with guys who protest you because they were running a sec slower, after 3 years of it we retied we set national records many track records and state champs 2 years in a row but there are guys who are just chicken shit
How good seeing Calder Park in action….wish the Thunderdome was running…takes me back!
Yeah it took too damn long! Heathcote is a great venue but a long drive from Melbourne. They used to run twilight club racing at Calder where they linked the main circuit to the Thunderdome. A long long lap, those were the days.
Might be the only one left soon, hearing heathcote is in a bit of financial trouble

130+ mph with a sensible shoes looking car is awesome.
I had a similar problem with my dash mat. Saw a tip to use a ziptie through the matt and to the dash screen vents and problem fixed.
I just commented the same, then scrolled down and saw this haha!
Happy Australia Day Scotty & Matt. By the way Matt needs a raise! His camera work and editing is fantastic. Vibrations Scotty, tailshaft related?
Nah, we suspect the drag radials have flat spotted because they were sitting on Supermang, which has Been parked in the same spot for almost a year

4500rpm launch! 🤠👍
Glad to see you checking the Roll Racing m8. It's heaps of fun for a drive to the event and home again (cars gods willing😉). #thebend
Well done Scotty, just noticing on your roll racing they were mashing it right on the green well before you were... pretty sure they would've been hosed by the might of Hoyota.
Chalk it up to first time roll racing. Having the back off didn't help either. It'll all come with pactice
Scotty, she’s definitely dash mat fast but can’t wait to see what it can do next time out. Great work!
The converter is definitely a bit tight. It helps for dyno numbers but the 60 ft is getting slaughtered by it. My Fairmont used to do exactly the same. It'd stroll out to the 60 like a flat diesel and then launch. Hugely frustrating.
Last one of these we did went 11.0 at 137mph with 455rwhp. Gotta be plenty left in it.
That was on a roller dyno however.
Cool car!
Tbh Scotty I think all cars on the track or dragway should have a roll bar, absolutely fantastic content! Keep it up
Keen on the Ute build
Honestly my favourite car you have built since the Phoenix Red VN turbo Buick back in the magazine days
So happy to see this thing ripping Scotty. You were absolutely flying that last roll race pass.
Great result Scotty. You need a stage 3 dash matt though. Speak to the sponsors!
Excellent bloody results Scotty!
You gotta be proud for the Lexcen's first run!
Saw it at the event and ngl thought it was a stock wagon until it went 🤣
Yeah.....See Scotty 🙄..........Carnage........That is the name of your show, 😉HUGE Thanks for sharing 👍
Editing in this video is top notch! So many cool cars there, makes me miss attending Willowbank.

Hi Scotty, watched you on the night- seriously quick! Good job.
I bet you'll be back after you tinker with it !!
Yep, we'll fix the alternator this week and then look at what we need to sort out to make it quicker.
Well done Scotty, it went well. Glad it wasn't anything too major that broke...🍻
What weapon when it gets dialled in. Have you done the transmission in Dads Ute and would we see it again.
Burnout game has definitely improved.
Can someone send some Velcro pieces over to the SM workshop? Keep the dash mats where they belong.
It has Velcro, but not enough obviously
@@STREETMACHINETV Cable ties through the windscreen vents to dash mat works for me.
Sounds amazing!!!!!
Great work Scotty. Car looks awesome!
VT brake upgrade time
Those alloys on the back hurt my eyes, needs interceptors for the drag tyres too...also need some chrome rings for street mode
We just grabbed the wheels we had but yes we'll grab some interceptors and put drag radials on them.
Nah needs interceptors all around with Toyota lexcen hubcaps and street radials on the rear obviously when it’s raced rear hubcaps have to be removed for safety reasons. Interceptors and chrome trims will make you start to have a second look at the rig
mean vid this wag is so cool my parents had numerous Holden wagons growing up....obviously not like this haha
In regards to vibration at 13:30 is something going on with the column?
We think the drag radials have flat spots from sitting for so long on Supermang
Seems like it needs a higher stall converter?

HI ALL
Scottie im guessing tailsharft or wheel bearing? somewhere there so were's the GTR LC. Dodge twin tubski's man we need 7sec's lol
We think it was the tyres that were flat spotted for sitting on Supermang for a year

Hiace booster mounted inside , small booster in engine bay with electric vacuum pump or some other direction ? Im guessing there are no of the shelf kits for a 1uz into a lexcen braking system.
Hay that was fun sure a bit of fine tuning you will get there that vibration drive sharf perhaps
We think tyres
Great session. Looks like fun.

a nice upgrade for brakes are group A vn or VS 5000 2 pot calipers and 330mm fronts work well with standard booster and master.
Coolest Camry Wagon 😂😂😂 👍

Anyone else waiting for a "f#@koff" when the dash mat went full send?
How's your luck - At Summernats you couldn't get it to spin the tyres from a dead stop, and now here at the roll racing you can't stop it spinning...
Im sorry Scotty. I call golfs slowboys for a reason 😅
Hopefully youll get it hooked up and use all that power its got. Love the build, love the channel!
Great vid guys keep it up
Why didn't you use the transbrake to leave on boost?
I did, transbrake was activated and while it took a while we got it to 3500rpm and 6psi boost
That dash mat cracked me up! Maybe get rid of it so it doesn't pass the same Trolvo dramas to that car lol
Spray will fix. 😂 or a convertor. The mph shows it’s potential. Nice.
Top work Scotty
Good camping rig when it doesn’t wanna go home. Pack a bed and a gas cooker some tins of food. If they’ll give it to you ask for a car fridge.
Is that the MindieJ VN Commodore?
Doubt it, it was turbo and 5.3 litre LS
Was that MindieJ’s old VN at @13:30
Not sure, don't think so
Did you over spin the alternator Scotty? Would a bigger pulley help it live?
That's what we're doing moving forward. Got an alternator already, just waiting on pulley to arrive
@@STREETMACHINETV nice. Good to get this stuff figured out now rather than on Drag Challenge.
Its quite common for them to fail when pushed a little. Even at stock engine's RPM they just suddenly give up for no reason.
Still, Lexcen went A to B with no problems, so I'd call that a win on it's first drag strip run! My last build was a 709 whp 1997 Civic coupe with a fully built LSVTEC turbo and it was SCARY fast on drag radials, but I could never really get a clean time out of it without slicks and a fully dialed suspension.
Sounds like a crazy beast
@@STREETMACHINETV It definitely does sound amazing! I loved the point where it broke the rear tires loose from a roll!
Vt brake twin piston callipers and rotors big difference
I can see in the future a few people looking at the tail lights of the Lexcen😏
Cars working well man 👍
That vibration seems pretty severe Scotty, even saw quite a bit of scuttle shake between the steering column and dash early in the runs, is the column bolted down solid?
We think the drag radials were flat spotted due to being parked in the same spot for almost a year
@@STREETMACHINETV Ah! Yes, that would explain why it was not an issue driving around normally!
@@LukeTheJoker yeah, it's totally fine on street tyres
Absolute weapon. Soccer mum lyf😂
You look stuffed mate ! Cheez going to be a leathal wags though.. you think booster delete is your issue. ? Just wondering.
Yeah, it's not the best. We've got some ideas on how to fix it though
A hell of a lot of negative no ones in this comments section today, however all publicity is good publicity right.
Looking forward to this.
Didn't you have a 2step on that during the workshop test ?
Yep, and we used it but at 3500rpm it's so soft you can barely hear it
@@STREETMACHINETV if there's no boost or lockup at that rpm, you've got some choices - Nitrous to spool, converter swap, lift the twostep threshold, change the final drive ratio … probably more I've forgotten
Seems it had stage fright at skid row..
After seeing how it handled the roll racing, something tells me its not the air filter...hahahahaha
Very interested to see how this goes.
It was a little better but needs a little more converter
On ya Scotty
Tailshaft angles? Anyway it's a goer, well done Scotty. Hope you got home
Nah, it's fine with road tyres. we think the drag radials were flat spotted
So I’m guessing Lexon and commo are the same stud pattern?
Yep
Same car so yeah
They are the same car...
11.7 seconds for a sleeper wagon budget build is crazy but if I know you Scotty you’ll get her to 10 if not 9 seconds 😂
Rear upper arms of the diff need to be changed to a solid arm
Add a Spool valve from "Boost on Tap"
I'll have to look into that
Far out you deal with some stupid comments Scotty .. only a fool gives another fool the time of day mate 👍🏻
Got to respond sometimes, stupidity can not be left unchecked
At 15:31 you can see a Holden Cruze?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Possibly Tailshaft?
It's brand new, we think flat spotted tyres from sitting on Supermang too long
Velcro that dash cover on matey 👍
It was, which gives you an idea of the acceleration
