Testing The New Drag Car

[@cobrin6437]

Quote of the Day "Because halfway down I forgot what I was doing" love it bennie...

[@davidt3196]

On the first run I thought you'd edited in some V8 and tyre screeching until I saw the Commodore 🤣 Can only get better from here and as much as I love the Cresta and Benny's Mustang I can't wait for this Build. #Wheelsisnotabuild

[@TankyMcStagger]

WORLD FIRST!!! 20sec taxi while eating a chip bracket. 😂😂😂

[@usedchoc]

Need a Crown on Crown battle with Al and Woody!

[@wasabicars]

That wheel nut talk was giving me steering wheel pulling vibes, and then you said so 😂 Great vid. Quality banter from start to finish

[@antonywhite4339]

Holy shit I’m in this mines the black mx5

[@nathanpeachs2704]

I ❤ Crown's, is it just me or are they like the Japanese Cadillic. Benny can't wait to see the magic happen 😁🇭🇲

[@siknis21]

This thing was the perfect candidate for a limiter dump into drive. Dropped the ball mate 😂

[@idrisddraig2]

The driveline is going into another car, so NO!

[@siknis21]

@@idrisddraig2 Thanks for adding the capital "no" there mate, I bet you're a riot at parties.

[@HoonTV]

You might get it into the 19s on a cooler day 😂😂

[@flyingbeep]

The Crown! The Crown Comfort sedan is my dream car, mainly because it brings back memories of growing up in Hong Kong, also because they're massive inside and RWD! Hope one day I can import a survivor out of Japan like this one, probably swap the engine in it asap though. :D

[@dB_944]

Watch out Kevin!!! 😊

[@danieltjr5649]

That was funny to watch Benny trying to eat a chip i could not believe it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Great stuff Benny. Definitely looking forward to this build!

[@lamboferruccio]

Yeah looking forward to this build

[@danielminchev6031]

Great content :) Thanks :)

I've gone rounds at a street meet DYO bracket here in New Zealand in a 19 second, 1800cc carb, Hilux. .004rt helped too. Haha

[@alvinalcid5617]

I love how you had enough time to do a commentary down the strip "oh wow never saw that before" comedy gold

[@danielspencer1973]

Some solid room for improvement!

[@dre5973]

I used to own one of these crowns in Fiji, It had 1TR engine and its LPG, best car ive driven as its so comfortable, I always wondered why no youtuber built these cars

[@50thcam]

Why did i find this more entertaining than normal

[@TommyTen10]

1:05 on the windscreen: oooooh. A turbo Alfa...... high revving high boost. Try the 2.0 jts it seems to have similar intake and exhaust to a b204 saab!

[@builtbybagsy]

I was laughing when I saw you stage with the chips in the console. I lost it during the run. 😂😂😂😂

[@1080sucks]

Great stuff Benny. Who doesn't love a Drag car build, start to finish?

[@benstrait333]

I forgot to race, lol! That's too funny!

[@Pablo668]

Looking forward to seeing how you are going to mod this car. Been inside them many times as taxis in Japan.

[@steveveness3829]

Slow to wild here we go😉

[@bigunone]

Many years ago I was bracket racing in TX couldn't afford to make my 67 Mustang to racy because it was also my daily driver. There was one old guy driving an early 60s falcon based ranchero 6 cylinder auto, nobody liked racing him because he was so slow by the time a faster car was let loose your automatic thought was to catch him and pass him causing you to break out. One day he broke out everyone at the track was shocked, he did everything the same everytime no burn out 165 (?) CI 6 was incapable of such things, he would pull around the water box line up wait for the other guy, when they light would change he would just step on the gas and let the auto do the work. While you set there and watched as he got farther and father down the track, you set there impatiently waiting! I don't know if they ever figured it out, the next race he was back same dial in

[@samartz]

Would be great to get a interior review Benny, thanks!

[@nickgrech9634]

Great video Benny and gang!

[@BarrelBros]

The chips!! Ahahahaha!

[@KenFilmsCars]

😂😂 best in car I've ever seen, aw a chippy, classic

[@jo300hn]

This will be an interesting build, from scratch and baseline, looking forward to the progression 👍

[@gowerski]

you have some neat cars

[@christiankirkenes5922]

"3 or 4 passes done in an hour" Fuck mate, I've gone to Willowbank twice now, and both times I've managed 2 passes in 3 hours. Time to move to Sydney

[@bennyfactor]

World record Japanese taxi racing on a Wednesday while having a snack

[@BIGPOG]

I think we need more benny dose drag race in a slow car and has a snack or tells us some knowledge.

[@lorrystagg6578]

I challenge Cooper and Cleetus to run 20sec while eating chips/fries

[@alastair355]

I have a jzs171 I love my crown!!

[@john_barnett]

MotoringBox needed that wheel nut info lol

[@90slegends49]

Everytime I travel to Japan and see those taxi crown wish that I will do 1jz swap on them

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

Were they drums on the back?? Hybrid and drums 🤣👍🍻Must be able to J3 chip the thing for sure???

[@BennysCustomWorks]

They were ! Basically a hilux rear end but 7.5 inch crown wheel instead of 8 inch

[@leeharrison3276]

Could have gone a 19 if all the water came out the exhaust 😅

[@notold37]

At this point I wouldn't recommend it for Sick Week 😂😂, great video MEN, I'm sure it will get faster, thanks for the laughs

[@wobblysauce]

If you want to go faster. Just take the beam time of 20sec

[@davidt3196]

@@wobblysauce Good call!😂

Ben, try to find a Freddy's frozen custard and Steakburgers on your next US trip... Up and coming and food is tasty...

[@matty_isthemotto]

I'm straight so I never mix nuts

[@vinnywelsh]

I think Benny is the first bloke to eat hot chips while drag racing.

[@StickyBaldieAdrian]

And here I thought my Volvo 244 with a turbo conversion was slow 🤣 my 17.8 now seems fast

[@JimmyJamm]

Are you going to change the wheels and tires?

[@chuxshed587]

That’s pretty light for what it is

[@clintonepps3666]

first step would be sound insulation removal and boot trim and anyth8ng in the doors not need3d fo4 a bit of weight reduction

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Boot trims are now gone but sound deadening is staying

[@funcraig]

I know it would frustrate you to do but it would be funny to enter it in a Andra event super street dyo class lol

[@Tilpants]

I didn't rate the crown much, but I do now, what other car provides the ability for a meal and a race at the same time?!

[@pablojones5613]

Looks nearly as fast as my 5me powered Royal Saloon 😂😂😂

[@feenyx6394]

She may not be fast, but she does look very graceful going down the strip!

[@anthonywhelan8373]

Now the 2jz install and 1.8 60ft

[@BennysCustomWorks]

1.2 hopefully :D

[@xozindustries7451]

Don’t be one of those guys that runs their AC at the track and dumps water all the way down the track. On the good side no where to go but up from there!

Cant wait to see this car pass the cresida... So it can be Crowned King of Japan...

Heaps of water in the exhaust

Are you going to do a video on the removal of the mild hybrid system? I kind of want to remove mine as the 36V battery has died and it's a real pain trying to sort a replacement

[@reecio07]

@@BennysCustomWorks I've heard similar with golf-cart batteries in series, but haven't got around to putting it to practice yet. Thanks for responding anyway, I'll see what I can do 👍

@@reecio07 no prob, make sure you recycle the battery temp sensor too, otherwise with the sensor open circuit it won’t hybrid.

@@BennysCustomWorks is there any way to trick it with a resistor? I've no idea how I'd reuse the sensor on a regular battery

Japanese taxi crown

[@fredericrike5974]

Benny, at those prices- AUS- it almost makes the plane ticket from the states cheap! NOT! You've set yourself a task- turning an upscale Japanese "quiet car" into a firebreather- if anyone can, it's likely you or your Turbo mates! Before you even start doing hardware mods I would suggest looking into lifting some of the programmed limits in the ECU- I'll bet there is 20 mph right there. Uppe class Japanese cars tend to be quiet- not even leather upholstery- and "subdued" in performance.
