CARNAGE - Drag Challenge Ute Build - Part-2

We kick off our build by living out every car guys fantasy - driving into a speed shop and loading up with parts. That's right, we head down to VPW and grab a whole ute load of parts for our Drag Challenge Ute Build.
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.

I keep telling myself that one of these days, I'll buy a car that's in great shape and tell my local parts house "I'll take one of everything".... as my bank account would never support such foolishness, I'll live vicariously through you, Scottie.... love the concept.

[@johnzadkovich2990]

Not sure how I feel about so much nice new stuff for Scotty and team. I quietly enjoy watching them struggle with secondhand crap. That said, this is going to be a beast.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Just be happy for us :)

[@DigitalEkho]

@@STREETMACHINETV i have a quick question. its been a year and no one in Tasmania can fix this. and i was wondering if you could help. i have a xr6t ba 04 and it has a error code p1340. it has a new timing chain and 2 x phaser solenoids

[@ebay4dave]

To quote roadkill, don’t make it great, just make it going, be great later.

[@dustyfarmer]

Must be serious, used a chain & shackles to lift the block instead of an old seatbelt.

[@captain1334]

Well it’s a LSX and not a Buick 3800

[@williamhardes8081]

old seat belts are perfect because in good condition they are more than capable of holding the weight and won't scratch your engine.

[@gardenwaster]

Drag Challenge is fast becoming the hottest event on the racing calendar, look forward to seeing you move from helping run the event to becoming a driver, thumbs UP

[@josephkelly4893]

That operation at VPW is next level, what a warehouse!!

[@1toonhead]

This thing is going to be a beast of a hotrod. Good luck with your project.

[@smithy2]

A real ute, and a boot full of goodies, that's the way you start a build 🤙

[@colinmiles9390]

Great show so far Scotty, and that Dart donk is going to blow away so many on drag challenge. I’m going to be truely impressed on this build and can’t wait for next edition 👊👍💪👌🙏

[@craigm5511]

I'll be really keen to see how the parts go with the torture test of drag challenge, because I've always figured the home-brand RTS and Proflow parts are built more for the budget minded customer than for someone potentially looking at running in the 7s. Testing out parts like diff centres, ignition coils and cylinder heads from RTS and Proflow will either highlight any weaknesses, or prove that they're legit competitors to the established and respected Aus and US built brands.

[@cobrin6437]

hooley dooley, you boys have amped it up, I see the MX5 has given you purpose and motivation to kick this mule in the ass. Can't wait...

[@stevenloynds3691]

It's awesome to see what you guys can do with hands tied behind ya back and a budget. Looking forward to see what you guys can do when ya have the opposite. Go hard boys this will be epic.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

There's still some budgetary constraints but yeah, having a ute load of good gear is a nice change.

[@darrylcampbell4411]

What budget..??

[@vnv8dude]

Love to see the invoice for that first load😂

[@user-ml2mx9rt6t]

This is my kind of build scotty.....lets goooo

[@JossRickard]

Yeah, it's yet another LS build but I'm really keen to see you do the work, with the goal in mind from the first video and all the gear to do it from the start. You deserve the goodies! Now I understand the talk about budget in previous videos!

[@simeonorive145]

Good on you Scotty and team grow your channel to this stage. Cant wait to see every episode of this build. I have loved every build but this one will be amazing and appeal to many more viewers especially in our big brown land of Ute loving Aussies.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Much appreciated!

Sickest build ever

So much good stuff from VPW getting ready for Drag Challenge can't wait ;-)

[@mandan28]

Good to see VPW getting behind you, great company, me and my old man buy gear off them, your channel is great entertainment 👍

[@LockieNZ]

I'm a Barra/2J guy, but this build is gonna be awesome! When the engine was thrown in the back, got me thinking how cool it would be to midmount the engine in the tray! Would be way too much involved to do though hahah

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Big job but yeah shades of BloBak from the 80s

[@andrewskidmore5963]

I’ve never been this toey for a KZbin build, absolute top tier Ute 🫶🏻

Excited to see it change

[@LV-FOURTWENTYSIX]

Wow. Thats awesome SM will def have shout VPW some beers and BBQ there prob close to 30k worth of gear there. This should be a beast. Maybe some sort of windsor/clevo v8 project in the future to give us Ford v8 lovers a go.

[@ceegee3664]

Thankyou VPW Merry Christmas Carnage!

Can't wait to see this beast finished

[@burntrubber5689]

OHHH MY GOD THIS BUILD IS GOING TO BE EXCITING 🎉😅

[@gavinb9627]

Go Scotty, from a kid in a candy store, to having all his Christmases come at once. Just so much cool stuff. 1000 hp at the tyres maybe a little conservative too. If the ute isn't ready on time, it will be something beyond your control. We are all anxiously waiting to see the outcome.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yeah, the next week will be critical

[@Dave77GMH]

Yeah!!! Scotty 👍🏼👍🏼😎

[@ndh641]

Love the reggae vibe

Dont worry scotty my LS ute will be rady for drag challange too.... just mine will be DC 2030 😂😂 Cant wait to see all the high end stuff i didnt even know exsisted, it will be interesting to see what goes into a crazy streeter like this 👍

[@brisbanecarmeetsandtrackda9072]

Damn wish I could get that many parts in one go for a build you must be in heaven 😂

[@boujeePerformance]

Street machine Vs commy versus skid factory Vs commy 👌

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Would be a good match up

[@boujeePerformance]

That sounds like a call out to me Scotty

[@Blackbirdrod81]

What a build this one will be Scotty. i reckon i am going to love this one the most due to the quality of parts and no expense spared attitude. Looking forward to seeing you send this ute mate. PS, Dont sell it

[@mahcooharper9577]

Said it before and I'll say it again, that's a fkn nice ute for what you paid... Gonna be an amazing build, can't wait to see it out there running numbers!

Christ on a bike! Scotty is not here to fuck spiders! Good on VPW for jumping on board, gotta be 50k in that back of that ute! This thing is gonna be WILD!

I love a catalogue

[@darrylcampbell4411]

And the people that pay for the goodies in it especially aye.

[@STREETMACHINETV]

@darrylcampbell4411 don't worry we paid plenty as well. We don't just get everything for free.

[@darrylcampbell4411]

Thats how it looked. Anything for free in the back of your ute would be great. Cheers for educating me Scotty.@@STREETMACHINETV

WOW you are usually on a tight budget, looks like someone has been saving up for this one 💰

[@darrylcampbell4411]

Yep Not Scotty..

[@dianawoods6985]

I’d say vpw are sponsoring this one. There would have to be $50k sitting in the back of that ute.

[@dmax9946]

Looking forward to this build Scotty. Perhaps another trip to the salt flats in the future?

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Love the salt but not many people watched that video unfortunately so the boss is reluctant to let me head out there again on the company dime.

[@dmax9946]

@@STREETMACHINETV bugger this looked like a such a damn good combo/platform to modify for the salt flats. Well at least it will make one hell of a good skid machine

[@1969Risky]

On this episode of Carnage, Scotty gives EV vehicles the finger! Scotty, you look as though you went through the VPW warehouse like you'd go through Bunnings! I'd really like to know what the bill was for this order? Can't wait for this engine build.

[@darrylcampbell4411]

Yeah wouldnt it be great to go into a cool as speed parts shop and buy whatever you want and someone else pays....Happy Days...

[@7071t6]

WOw Scotty, going from MX5 LS turbo, to a Holden ute twin turbo, love to see how your going to keep all the power down to the ground? Also keep up the great work mate.🚗🚓👍👌😎 I would say once the traction issues are solved she should be doing around low 8's, unless you have wheelie bars fitted?

[@one4stevo]

Sweeeeeeet

[@stewartwhite3183]

New drinking game... every time scotty says serious, its a shot... serious parts for a serious build on a serious car... Seriously, dont play that or you may die. But seriously, keen to see it come together.

You will die if you try that game

... and serious packing tape!!

[@davidbarnsley8486]

It absolutely amazes me what you can buy these days to build a car I use to think back in the day if you could get a yellow terra head for your 186 you were next level But this stuff is unbelievable Didn’t see any wheely bars Scotty 😂😂

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It is amazing how we've progressed. I'm old to remember the Yella Terra head days

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Nice to see you start with some fresh new parts for a change. Can't wait to see where this one goes. Have you ever stopped to think how unfortunate a "floater rear end" is for a name? Kind of shit when you think about it.
