What are you doing for a tune? Fk mental health. Unfortunately the system is backwards for mental health. I know first hand. Can't get help because i refuse to take their random meds after 7yrs of the wrong medication as it is. Is what it is guess.. love the channel ❤️

Could write paragraphs about this haha

Mate it took me a year from a wrecked vs ute. I got it registered 2 days ago and been enjoying the drive. Its still beat up and has some small issues but getting there. What you are doing in a short amount of time is tough. But it is great to watch. Electrical issues are no fun.

Lol the bane of my life ..cars fighting back when youre to help em haha..sign of a true whisperer overcoming the NO NO dont touch me there-of demon posesion

You are a disaster have a good look at yourself.

Run ya drivers side pipe around and under the chassis rail then a 90 up next to the battery/psteer reservoir. It's how the turbo giys do it, it's how my vn was done too ,plenty of room n clearance under the rails 👍

Who's building engines? I haven't seen any yet although I've only found 5 channels doing so far. I know a few workshops are sort of half building engines out of parts they had laying around. Sucks yes but is what it is. But at the end of the day it's not serious and it's just for fun. I'm hopeful to get out there to spectate cause I'm keen to see what the v6 mirage will do lol Dude literary put a 380 in a mirage 😂 U should crack 12s relatively easy, chuck some 411s in it if u haven't already, also throw it on e85 if u can that'll help too 👌

Top work mate. Finding the challengers is working on a Holden sure looks like its been driven by a true Holden Driver (i.e. don't know how to drive lol). Good luck on getting it finished.

My nephews would confirm this is the type of car grandpa drives.

Thanks

The intercooler hose kits have gone up since 2022.

Still bring it sunday if its running or not.

Fuck yeah mad progress ☝️☝️☝️

keep going mate you can make it it the words of some fella from some movie "you can do it "

best of luck getting it there! would have to be my favourite 12s for 2k so far

Cars are never easy mate never crack on you will get there

Loved the vid mate first watch i subscribed. Yeah!

dont give up buddy you guys can do it

Is there any parts you need?

If you sit the light in you kitchen oven the lens will come off easily

Nice mate. Yes it’s not week to speak. It may just be a phone call to your loved ones. It could be a call to a mate. But keep calling everyone you know because everyone needs to know there is someone out there that will listen to you.

Epic, love ya work mate... very cool

Wax and grease remover soaked in made getting the headlight lenses off easier. I've seen the coils mounted on the fan shroud

Gonna need a tune with that setup

I actually thought the 12s 2k was gonna be more cheap slap up. But the blokes with good sponsors pay f all for shit and end with 10s car for example. As foryourself and gs garage it looks like a 2k drag challenge. Gs garage has a mirage with 3.8 from a Mitsubishi 380.

Nice work matey

I'm loving all these builds, I wouldn't stress about other peoples builds - there is always going to be people who "push" the rules to win - we live in a world where some blokes will claim to be a girl just to win a race !!! Just have fun building your build and racing your race. Loving your channel and attitude 👍

Bloody oath

Government funding its not gona work 😂 disaster waiting to happen 😂

I'm calling you out, where's the beers 🍻 😏 😜 😂

Legend toy run excellent work to you all 😊👌🙏🤗

Awesome job, and you crack me up, Bogan central 😂, What a cool 😎 dude to do that for ya. You gotta love the Aussie car culture, Happy New Year 🎉🥳 brother, keep um coming 🍻 Cheers 🍻 🇦🇺🦘🏔🪃🤝🇦🇺🦘

why include the intercooler if you're running nitrous?

Good on 'yer! Just do the challenge to the best of your ability, as you understand the restrictions, using the parts you choose from those you find available, and others will do the same, don't loose any sleep over the details. The main thing here is to have fun, and show what is possible with a limited budget.

👍😎

My turbo wagon got sponsored by covid payments & Afterpay. 😊

I have just written off the builds that aren't at least trying to fit the theme. These are the interesting ones as they show a truly backyarder build.

I hope you win. All of the haters can suck it. You are out there making it happen and you don't have the resources of most of the other guys.

10/10, A+, You go for "BRO". Not only will you get into the 12"s, But I hope you can prove to us all your way under budget & I hope there is a Trophy for your low-budget build, Cheers mate.

You look like 2000s era Russell Gilbert

Hope all the builds make heathcote on the 🇦🇺 day weekend.. definitely drive over for a suss! May even build something if it takes off

The silicone hose for the intercooler will cause issues sucking in. The intercooler will be under vacuum when the throttle is closed and the hose will suck in and stall the engine. I experienced it first hand on silicone Joiners with too much gap between the pipe work.

Hey mate, I'm assuming your comment at 5:50 was directed at us and harris. I don't remember scotty saying all these builds have to be repeatable by the general population.. But even if he did, peoples talents vary. Some people can build 4 second race cars with their eyes closed. Some wouldn't know which end of a spanner to hold. Does that mean we should all stop because there are people that dont know how to open a bonnet? We got given a seized engine, and all we did was pull it apart, hone out the rusty bores (the crosshatching is trash btw lol), file the rings..with an actual hand file, clean it and reassemble with some valve springs. Anyone with youtube and some basic shed equipment can do that! At the end of the day, there are no trophies, gift baskets or sheep stations for the winner, its just about getting out there and having a go. Im not worried if some guys go over budget/cheat or whatever. This challenge got people off their butts, and into the shed. Kudos to everyone that has given this a go. That aside, im loving your build. Keep up the good work, hoping you make it to the Australia day meet.

Ur right with some these builds mate an what I thought were the rules to I'm in the same vote Im hoping I can get the build done in time bought my parts from eBay shipping being delayed 😂 an still a lot of work to do hopefully i make it Australia Day if i do I'll come say hi.

Scotty didn't spell out the finner points of the 12' for $2k challenge as he was only really doing it for himself to have a little fun. Unfortunately, people have put their own interpretation on the challenge and missed the point . everything that goes in the car should be valued at today's retail prices, not what you paid for it decades ago. Mates rates , sponsorship, and in trade discounts shouldn't apply. I like your interpretation as it's true to the intent of the challenge. I'd like to see Scotty set up a small series, perhaps 4 or 5 rounds in a year , run as DYO for 12 to 12.99 second cars only. I think it would add a lot of interest to those of us on low budgets to go out and have a bit of fun. There's a lot of time and effort required to run a car that will only be competing in one event . There is no need for prizes or trophy's, you'd have bragging rights, though. 😊

Good work fella ! Shocks are 100% safety

I pretty much don’t care about the budget, I’m just enjoying the friendly banter amongst everyone 😉

Frick yeah. Little things make a big difference good work. ☝️☝️

Q) Should you count the performance aspect of the shocks? A) No. They're shocks. Yes, I get it, these performance units will help you hook up to run the target time, but so what. The fact you mentioned what they are is good enough. Even as a Barra owner, I think this is fantastic to see the V6 in the mix. You're contradicting yourself when you advise you're in this for fun, but then being over critical on your own effort and build, as well as other channels. There are no police here. Every team and lad is keeping the audience informed with their prices. If a team makes it run a 12, and they spend $2400 in the end, it simply went over budget. There's no losers here. Your aim is to get the performance goodies on as close to $2K, and run a 12sec pass. Yeah, it is loose, but so what, it's a guideline. Who cares if you're in a garage, don't feel guilty. Some lads don't have an engine crane, a lift, or much else. Similar to what I said on another channel, environment, tools, experience, cheap parts, and above all knowledge - is simply to your advantage, make the most of it. Life is hard enough - take your own words, you're in it for the fun. Relax mate, we love this stuff. Take a breath, watch your health improve, and keep the momentum. Can't wait for the next update! Rock on.

Great job mate 👍🇦🇺
