Now the Lexcen is running and driving we drive it out to Caldere park to see how it goes on the quarter mile, and we even have a crack at roll racing.
Street Machine Carnage is all about having fun with cars. Sometimes it's serious performance, sometimes it's crazy fun, but it always interesting and done on a budget.

How good seeing Calder Park in action….wish the Thunderdome was running…takes me back!

@CRFLAus 8 месяцев назад

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_Archer777 8 месяцев назад

Might be the only one left soon, hearing heathcote is in a bit of financial trouble

@danielwitham1791 8 месяцев назад

@@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 👍🏻

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

Happy Australia Day Scotty & Matt. By the way Matt needs a raise! His camera work and editing is fantastic. Vibrations Scotty, tailshaft related?

@STREETMACHINETV 8 месяцев назад

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

@mysticgreg 8 месяцев назад

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!

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?

@dinosshed 8 месяцев назад

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.

@ChristopherHallett 8 месяцев назад

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...

@STREETMACHINETV 8 месяцев назад

They're 15x7 steel wheels

@markc8602 8 месяцев назад

Those alloys on the back hurt my eyes, needs interceptors for the drag tyres too...also need some chrome rings for street mode

@STREETMACHINETV 8 месяцев назад

We just grabbed the wheels we had but yes we'll grab some interceptors and put drag radials on them.

@JAKE-FAQFPV-CVN747 8 месяцев назад

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

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.
