Wipers and horn were hilarious, when you were all keyed up, hoping nothing would accidentally go... :D Thanks Scotty.
I was thinking this should have been a couple of weeks earlier for the Halloween episode!
Imagine Scotty disarming an IED, those wipers are farken deadly!
Jason and Rob at CSC are great tradesman. Cool to see them send you a shield to keep your legs attached to your torso!
Scotty’s AU makes a cameo!
Good times. My auxr8 covid full suspension & driveline rebuild (now complete) saw three deliveries of expensive components delivered to the wrong address & signed for. When I got the emails saying your delivery has been signed for, I started looking around my area at addresses that had my house number in it. I am at No1 yet two of the deliveries were sent to No 10. The guy answered and said 'yeah, I signed for them, didnt know whose they were'.... Thanks Aust Post, Startrack & DHL for making a tough job more frustrating than it needed to be. Oo===oO PS: A video on the tools you rate and would not do with out would be interesting for blokes like me who (don't trust mechanics) and do it all in the driveway with ramps & trolley jacks. Appreciate the content and effort that goes into these things. Oo===oO
Friday mornings with Scottie !! Awesome 😎
You know it's good when you are disappointed it's over so soon (that's what she said!)
Shit yeah can't wait to hear it run, I've been watching you for years and love everything you do. I've watched every episode of the wagon build and can't wait to see it finished. Have you decided on an engine for that little torana yet?
It only takes one wire missed to stuff up a project, good work there brother 👊👍💪👌
Patience of a saint, Scotty 😂
The timing on that thunderclap. haha
I know right
Scatter shield, then thunder, could not have timed it better!
lots of progress there guys, i know you're flat out but i wish your videos were longer.
Best way to start Fridays!
I'm coming to your house next Halloween dressed as a windshield wiper.
LMAO at the wipers and horn. Think we have all been there and done that before today. Looking good for a start next Friday.
She was a bloody good storm that one Scotty and the electric test funny man🤣👍🍻Hope you cracked a beer once the ECU light came on!!!
HAHAHA... Wipers, then the ECU earth! PMSL!
Love ya Scotty!
Least it was a quick find that damn earth wire, I thought here we go crank time..vid ends aha look forward to next week. ❤
Horn & wipers work Scotty, that's all you had to worry about, the rest comes later!
Road worthy.
Aaaah I'm almost as frustrated as you are Scotty! I just want to hear that Lexus/Lexcen purr!!
Love you work as always Scotty! The Lexcen is one of the cars I’m most excited to see how it turns out and I genuinely hope it continues to go well (I know you get a couple of hiccups). Have to say though the wiper & horn bit got me good because I would have reacted in exactly the same way haha. Keep up the good shit you do & sending the positive vibes your way mate!
It’s the haircut.
Samson lost his powers when his hair was cut
Scotty… that episode left me with blue balls lol… I thought it was going to run. 👍
So did we
@7:34 Deutsch DT series connectors best connectors! Just gotta remember to push the wires through the rear grommet before terminating them! Ask me how many times I fucked THAT up back when I was a Volvo Trucks technician... 🤣
you are the perfect man for the job scotty we are going to miss you. all the best
Miss me?
He is not Al from skid factory
you can get those plug pins to go in easier if lick them or spit on them (that's what she said, beat you to it! lol) my dad was a mechanic and he always said, "it always go's in easier with a bit of lube".
Make sure you set the fuel pressure with engine off ignition on 👍 feel free to call me an idiot again.
Cool colour for something you won't see again, hopefully😉
Doing a fantastic job Scotty love watching your work.
Motor swap like that is not easy you have to know what your doing. Good Job scotty it will be interresting to see how it perform on the Dyno.
Lights, wipers, ACTION.
Come on Scotty hanging here man🤩
CMOOOOON! You got power to the ECU, SHED SKIDS! :-)
All the smoke stayed in the wires, good job!
Looking forward to the next one Scotty. Great work and video
When did ryobi start making torque converters? 😂😂 that colour though!
these things are there to test us scotty. you're doing great
Progress is progress mate. We're getting close. 400+rwkw not too far off.
you should get turbo yoda aka to help with the wiring i hear that he has some free time now leaving the skid factory
Even as a Ford man im loving this build!
That poor trolvo has turned in a recycling bin 😢
But it's still here, so it may live another day
@@STREETMACHINETV - did I hear 6.4L Hemi V8 for the Trolvo? ...
Yeah I know I know, who am I kidding, its a dead project.
I reckon the wagon is cooler then the ute
I literally had the exact same converter in my Shed when i had my 1uz th400 turbo. From Gonzo aswell. I should of sent it. But its from Rod shop conversion plate to th400
Yeah, probably would have been different in depth
Nice penmanship.
Cable lube Scotty NOT TO BE USED IN THE HOME but for push /pull to seat connectors perfect
Great video, heaps done, so close……
I'm actually quite interested in this build.
Come on, man! 'Carnage' is the logical next step up in the historical lineage of the classic Aussie back-shed builds and mods from Orbost to Carnarvon!
Scotty the Terminator....😀
O what a feeling ( she said))😁
Look like you've lost a bit of weight scotty. Looking good brother!
I told my wife this, and she says you need to go to spec savers. But thanks anyway
So close scotty cant wait to see and hear it running. Are you running upgraded braced rear lower trailing arms? I have had sedans with bent trailing arms.With the wagon being so long the twisting would be worse than the sedan ? Would subframe connectors also help with rigidity ? Or would they only be worth while upgrading if you have issues with body twist? These are probably all questions you have already asked more qualified people , im just curious as i have heard they are common weak points .
We'll look into that once it's running but currently they're just stock with new bushes.
What’s the plan for the front suspension since you have added loads of weight to the lexicon? I’m glad it’s getting close to running.
It will be interesting to see how much weight we've actually added. I'm sure it will be some but maybe not as much as you think.
@@STREETMACHINETV after seeing the Mazda wheel stand and come down hard on the drag course would make me strengthen it as we still don’t know what horsepower this beast will have and I’d hate to see all that good work go to waste
@@STREETMACHINETV - that era of commodore they were still the genuine GMH 304ci V8 which from memory were about 80kg heavier than the GH Chev 5.7 Gen 3 engine. Toyota never bother with that engine so basically stuck with the standard GM Buick (which was the 2nd revision version) one which were about 30kg lighter.
16:80 pulse check
1minute more and we could have had it turn over ... but that's in another episode ..lol
Awesome video.
The earth, its always the bloody earth...
Who done the trans shield?? I tried googling CSC trans shield and I can't find them.. is that right CSC??
Very good. How is the ute going
Gotta get ya self some dielectric grease!
those delphi connectors can jam it
They sure can. Give me a Deutch connector any day
Shit thought that converter was a ryobi tool
😂😂 wiper wars
Friday highlight new carnage vid
YeH BOi
Mary Poppin’s box…
That's an odd looking ute.
If it takes a z9 it should take a z516 as well.
prowflow, where you pay Australian owned prices for Chinese quality.
You wrote that from a iPhone built in China 😂
Get your humour, but the quality is what the customer has requested for the manufacture of their products.
@@mun33y no Chinese iphone here
@@bunning63 its a shame because i like supporting aussie business, but the few proflow products i have purchased recently were very poor quality for the price.
@@Troymans79 Yeah, know what you're saying, and they definitely know themselves which ultimately means the consumer doesn't buy their products. Short term profits. Sad.
Whats the go with alloy spacer on tailshaft to diff ?
It's not an alloy spacer, it's a billet steel flange for the front of the diff. Stronger than factory
I want to see the "cats and dogs" Scotty! Who's AU?
That's my daily
@@STREETMACHINETV That's cool, AUs have really come into their own after years of being largely rejected. Bet that pommie who penned them is sitting back now with a smile.
what happened to the ute scotty
Still happening but pace has slowed
1 earth wire lol
Anyone notice the MX-5 has no engine? I wonder if it's going into the taxi with sump or dipstick modifications
Nah, we got made an offer we couldn't refuse on the MX5 engine. Otherwise, it would be definitely going in the Taxi
@STREETMACHINETV Ahh damn, might need another workshop update on all the cars
@@johnwalters6025 - ok here is a guess:
- Black Torona - waiting for the suits upstairs to give go ahead for the 6.4L Hemi V8 to be installed and start that project
- Red Volvo - a dead project sadly, we got all were gonna get from that beast, now a parts special re: transmission and torque converter to Project Lexcen, the radiator went to the MX-5 etc, electrical parts to various other projects.
- 1300 Boost Taxi - The falcon needs weight reduction and the engine diagnostics don't look goo from the last episode, potentially the block is rooted and the head is warped, just how many more E:Gas DOHC engines can Soctty lean out before enough is enough ??? only Scotty knows.
- Mazda MX-5 - engine gone, transmission going into the VR ute
- VR Ute, personally don't give a shit about that, that said it appears Scotty is at around the 40% range of where he wants the car to be at, lots more has to go into it.
- White Lexcen V8, we just saw the update wit this video, for me I'm not sure about the brake package Scotty went it non assisted brakes okay sketchy but everything else looks like its gonna be awesome once its up and running.
Did I miss anything else?
I did, only because its not i the carnage workshop.
- dad's ute
but is that an official Street machine project? or more of a personal Scotty project for his son.
Schoolboy error that earth wire.
Yep, rookie error. I thought I'd connected it
woohoo
Losing weight mate, must’ve been all that buildup from the lockdowns lol
Shouldn't that be,it's " ❤😊❤😊😊
😜👍🇦🇺
😂😂
mmh, not loving the images of what a gearbox detonation looks like.
Seeing the footage from Ukraine I'd say it'd be similar to having a frag grenade go off next to you 😬😐
Search for the video on our channel from Zane had a trans explosion on the dyno
@@STREETMACHINETV don't suppose you remember how the title went? 😅🤣

Never again
Never again what?

Nice 🪳 in the carpark
