Any chance of an MCM vs BCW scooter race?

I like this new style with Gian asking questions.

I'm sure that within 6 months Giann will be an expert in automotive engineering and he could take over the entire channel. This would allow Benny to cruise around Sydney Harbour on his super yacht now that he has found a sea sickness cure.

The off the cuff banter is always great. It gives us a inside track of who you really are in day to day life. It helps make you a real and everyday kind of person and not just some made up TV/ Reality Star. Makes me feel like I am at work bullshitting around with the boss and other techs in the shop.

I love these long style shit talking videos. It's just that much more entertaining and allows you to be more yourself instead of a "youtuber".

The banter works! As does the Giann quizzes

100% agree, similar to hackshop garage as it is genuine banter. Rather listen to them rather than music or nothing

I come here for the witty banter and the occasional vehicle repair. I also love the longer format stuff. Keep it coming champions!

Love the banter. Keep it up! It's what I miss about Al leaving TSF.

Love the banter guys reminds me of working with my mates on stuff good times

Don't listen to haters, do what you do. Those of us who watch, enjoy, and don't feel the need to comment still love it. Keep baiting too :)

42:00 Love the longer videos. Since watch time became the most important metric (for KZread's algorithm) there's been a ton of content creators that started doing these (the longer less edited vids) and it's been good so far.

Same here. It's like hanging out with my mates in the workshop. Just talking nonsense, retelling old stories and figuring out how to get that damn bolt off :) Although there's one thing I envy you for: You're the only one wrenching in your shop. My tools are always somewhere because my brother-in-law freaking hates cleaning up after finishing his work (or in between for that matter). He's so happy to be done with it that he basically just yells "Tool drop!", you hear a clang and then he is gone. I don't mind cleaning up after him if I am there since he is the talent and I am the wallet. But sometimes I am not there so I have no freaking idea where he left the stuff and I run around aimlessly looking for my tools.

I personally like the longer episodes

The "what does this button do" chat around the Cresta gave me an idea. I'm not a drag racing guy, and along the way I think I've lost track of what a bunch of stuff on the Cresta is doing. Maybe after you run the car next, walk us through a pass and explain what's going on? What's the CO2 shifter do? Why do you have the "bump in" button now? What are you ideally looking for the car to do at the start, with the turbo, converter, etc?

As someone who never comments, you guys are very entertaining, especially with the addition of Jian (idk how to spell) and the banter between you too. Also the fact that Benny says “I’m not smart enough for that” then whips out the exact date of when metric was first introduced in aus is hella funny

Loved the random stories and general chit-chat

I love the conversation between you two. You can never learn enough usless facts.

Mega BCW episode, loving the banter between you both, which just happens to have random facts.👌👌

Always nice to see the Cresta. Keep up the good work guys! Like the longer format episodes.

As common as I don't comment, I enjoy the banter. It's cool when gian ask random questions, not everyone is a expert and it's cool to see the non edited actual building it's a but more to real life hanging building in the shed

Yeah, I love the banter and interaction between Gian and Benny. Gian can get Benny to explain something that he's not following, which makes it easier for us to follow. And I'm always happy to see Benny just shoot the shit.

I normally don't comment but figured i would since you were curious. I've really been enjoying the direction the channel has been going. The 'chats', tangents and random side quests (GoPed) separate your channel from thousands of others and adds significantly more soul to the show. Its clear you guys have found your schtick that every other great channel has. Keep it up guys!

I think the raw kind of conversation is funny, good times. 🤪🤣

ADHD kinda sounds about rite. Just like Marty's glasses, the ones that know, know. Big thumbs up to you mate for keeping up the good fight. Some days it takes everything I have just to make it out of the house. Lastly, you have got to get Gian in for a ride in angry mode down the track. For science....and....maybe his reaction to the Cresta in full swing!!!

I'm amazed that 125lbs springs work in that car at all. Let alone whilst loaded with a trailer. Interesting.

Holy shit was that a motoring legends of Australia reference???? Kings of crooked wheels, unsprung mass is a myth.

I like the longer videos more than under 20min ones. and I'll honestly watch anything involving the cresta, its a legend at this point. Also kevin43 doesnt like the color yellow

Gotta be the world's fastest Cresta by now, the fine-tuning is just icing on top 👍👍

The other thing I want to do before I get carried away. ITS THE CRESTA! 😂

Keep the stories coming, it's a laugh.😂

Great content Benny. Have you ever considered like on some cars top mount on the coilover to be bagged they can be made to measure I suppose in Australia as well having so much racing history so you don't need to switch between race and street with fixed rate with external compressor for weight savings 😅due to race car.

Love your work and comments boys.

Love seeing the Cresta back

Enjoy the different styles of videos you make. Been a fan for many years. Don’t change a thing.

Anyone ever use Metrinch? Great quality tools, some people feel some kinda way about em though - I guess with the slop you lose some degrees of swing in tight spots. Good value on space for drag n drive or long trip toolbox though. Love a longform video Benny 👍🏻

Man I've been to caught up in life in europe that i have a good year of videos to watch from you. Feel like a kid in a candy store now lol

Next episode Benny cuts loose on plumbers; remember S#17 flows downhill and pay day is Thursday

Love the banter and the longer vids....my only concern is that if I met you in person i'd say "Hi Benny 5 on checkout" apologies in advance for that 😂

Benny don’t forget the fire sleeve

Good job Benny Fixing the Toyota Cresta it is a amazing Car

Cresta Rules !!

I really enjoy the banter between you two guys. It feels like I'm hanging out with you guys in the shop

Superb as always, love the banter and chats. Crazy how much of a dent in the wall that 'fixture table' did - does that mean it can also be used as a hammer? It seems to do everrything else, except ladder.

The banter is great.

316 stainless would be marine grade that what we used at a small local boat repair shop when i did a couple months work there was fun working on boats but a pain every tine you drop a bolt or nut because you cant use a magnet to retrieve it from the tight spaces

You should put a Dry Break Quick Release Adapter Fitting on the return so you dont get fuel all over that pretty hypertune intake plus less work to get done.

Top bants, very enjoyable.

16:35 You can just snap a pic of the windshield and have someone make you a new set of those vinyls .... move them to the roof or "boot window or lid".

Those rings are available in the uk since they like towing their caravans. You could also put it a different/temporary bump stop, the modern full size vans use a 1 leaf spring and once there's any weight it's on the long bump stop.

4mm unloaded. I would check with the trailer fully loaded, since the more the spring compress the more the inserts are squished and "work"

I think the speed limits went metric in 74. I was 10. I turn 60 next week. Fark.

Did I see a Haku sitting in the other side of your shop?

F***in hell, silent majority chiming in: keep it up lads 👍😉

Hey i was there this week!! dropped in to buy a shirt, Benny is a cool dude. drop in and buy merch :P

Hi. XE and XF falcons had imperial bolts with metric heads, ie: rocker cover bolts were 1/4 unc with 10 mm heads instead of 7/16 (close to 11 mm).

The kids are now referring the 90s as "the late 1900s" Yeah, let that sink in

Oh gosh... oh no... we are here for the chats boys dont change it, classic :-)

Don’t feel bad Benny about using a table. Agreed it is unsafe. 2020 I was using an old rickety wooden bench to stand on. I was thinking to myself I better get a ladder instead before something bad happens. Truth be told right at that moment the bench gave way and I lost my balance and landed on my right elbow causing my shoulder to dislocate. Took a full year to get my mobility back in my shoulder. That said I’ll take a broken bone over a dislocated joint any day.

Camiras had imperial headed metric thread bolts... 7/16 heads on 6mm etc

VT and VX Commodore Ecotecs still use imperial bolts in some areas. Always a fun time when you’re tearing down the engine and realise your 10mm doesn’t fit 🙃

Do you guys have trailer weight distribution bars in Australia?

Great ideas Comment for algorithm Keep them coming

Try O,BRIEN glass for front window they have supra and rx3 windows never tried to get one for the cresta

It's a shame you can't open the roof on the trailer with say boot struts just to cram more bits in it to maximise space.

@@BennysCustomWorks Cool, I've just acquired a car for that, we'll be rolling coal in something a bit different to the norm.

im guessing the car doesnt have ABS, but does it not have a load sensitive proportioning valve for the rear, similar to what used to be fitted to vans to allow the brake pressure to the rear to increase as the vehicle gets loaded up? that way the more weight on the rear, the harder the brakes will work on the rear. as for the ride height, yould you not just add some assister airbags? leave the current set up alone, but add bags to increase the height when the trailer is on/car is loaded heavily? vaguely similar to the self levelling systems fitted to Citroens and many estate cars (Mercedes etc particularly)? just a thought also Imperial measurements etc began in the UK, i believe. America got it when British settlers went to the USA. although their fluid measurements are smaller than UK ones.

@@BennysCustomWorks Yeah, I guess if it takes 350 psi to raise the car and increase the spring rate because it's only able to have 3cm of stroke then it's probably not gonna work. Although, perhaps an external pressure tank could possibly make such a thing work. Then again, we're talking about a drag car and adding like 30kg would be counterproductive.
