Benny's Custom Works

Benny shows us around his first fews days in the USA!

Before the Cresta & Mustang compete, Benny needs to make changes to the cars, however he only has a couple of days to make it happen!

Benny is selling the Ford Falcon for a Ram 1500. Here are the differences & why he is upgrading.

Benny meets the CEO & takes us around the Circle D Specialties factory in America to see how they really make their performance converters

This is the plan for the new drag car that the previously acquired 2j engine will go into, as well as the Japanese mild hybrid system that will be recycled!

Benny heads over to see Pete from Circle D Specialties in America to explain what converters are and what they do!

Benny's RAM 1500 has some disappointing imperfections from factory OEM that he's had to rectify, along with some personal irks to be modified to suit his own standards in creature comforts.

Benny chats to the locals about their builds at cars and coffee in the small town of Berrima followed by a look around at the diverse turnout! This event is held on the last Sunday of every month, early morning in Berrima, NSW.

Benny explains why it is important to check over any new car purchase and what exactly you should be looking for. The Mini Pajero also gets a big transformation with some small modifications !

Sick Week 2023 was a wild ride... Benny explains the wins, losses, and what really happened for the BCW team over in America.

Benny talks us through some great highlights, sheds some light on a tense moment between himself and another team, and also provides insight onto the misfortunate crashes of Sick Week 2023.

Join the crew on their final day of sick week 2023 where they find out the placing results and figure out what's next on their American journey!

We're hitting the open road, stopping in at some iconic places along the way to the junkyard, NASA, and the secret car storage facility.

The final destination on the America trip is 'Old Car City', the largest and oldest known junk yard, where Benny shares history on some of the old piles of oxidising metals, formerly utilised as cars.

We head to Sydney Dragway to test out Benny's new Toyota Crown drag car before he does anything mechanically interesting to it, in order to acquire a solid base figure.

Benny shits all over the Mild Hybrid system in front of the mild hybrid experts as they prep one Toyota Crown for a 2JZ and prepare to resurrect the broken Crown for Matt & Jarrod to make their long journey home again.

Matt’s Toyota Crown was jumpstarted the wrong way at the docks, which unfortunately destroyed the hybrid system. Today we help him fix it so he is finally able to make the long journey home in his new Japanese import!

Watch the car build itself and cooperate the whole time

While Benny was away in America, Gian took his falcon out to the track... and broke it. This is his struggle in trying to fix what he broke and get back on track, pun intended.

A common problem for the Dodge Viper is the headlight switch failing, and Benny has found out exactly the cause AND the fix!

The Metro is a supermini car, later a city car that was produced by British Leyland and was intended to complement and eventually replace the Mini. A particularly peculiar system in these is their suspension, which we will be having a closer look at today.

Benny tears out more junk from the Toyota Crown and talks us through the planning involved with the build.

How to repair fibreglass, featuring the Pajero Mini's new second hand flares.

Rewarding repairs often overlooked to make your car great again! Along with test fitting the previously repaired flares and why it's a good idea to do so before paint.

How to get engine timing right, re- seal water pumps, and other key major service items.

Just how easy is this bolt on exhaust kit from Walkinshaw?

This Crown was meant to be the 2JZ build to give the Barra Powered Cresta a run for its money... but now it cannot be done. Benny explains why that is and what the change of build direction will entail.

The Pajero Mini started out with a dodgy custom lift kit, and the current suspension is making the car sit askew, so this is how Benny is fixing it.

In preparation for the hot climate of the Mid West Drags in America, we're kicking it off with a NOS install into the Toyota Cresta.

Mid-West Drags in America begins!

Benny, Matt, & Phil push on to deliver some promising passes and some of the longest mid west hauls yet!

Benny stays in it whilst steering the Barra powered Toyota Cresta back and fourth down the quarter mile on the final race day of 'Summit Mid West Drags'.

After a day on the slopes, chances are you'll have snow melting off your board or skis on the way back down the mountain. Having them in the cabin isn't ideal unless you have a waterproof mat and no passengers, and most rack options can add up quick, so here's another option to consider.

There's limited space in the front of the pajero mini, especially after installing the winch recently, so today benny finds a way to squeeze in both a power steering cooler and a fan before testing it all out in the bush.

Installing a GFB blow off valve and plumbing a boost gauge, the right way! Plus all of the tips and tricks if you're thinking of doing it too.

Key highlights and sketchy moments of World Time Attack Challenge 2023

The Pajero sounds off chops after benny cuts up all the new parts cause nothing fits this red microwave on wheels.

This is a new project Toyota 86 with a very questionable history... much like the rest of them, but we think this one has seen fish.

Benny discovers a correlation in the diff department between the Pajero Mini and Chrysler sigma before installing an LSD diff along with a Fujitsubo exhaust, and new old tow bar... which needs to be cut up first.

It's a rocky road coming down the steep slopes of Pikes Peak Colorado...

At such high altitude, the boys have had some early tweaks to make on the Cresta, but let's see if they can take on Day 1 of Rocky Mountain Race Week.

Benny folds himself into the interior of the Toyota 86 to discover the direct culprit for the bad smell... along with the installation of bucket seats and a roll cage.

Benny installs an oil & transmission cooler as well as completing the major service before firing up the flood car in the third and final episode for the series!

Rocky Mountain Race Week Day 3 in Kearney brings one of the most jam packed days yet!

Day 4 of Rocky Mountain Race Week sees the Toyota Cresta struggling to make a clean pass in the high altitude of Bandimere... at first.

The final test of Rocky Mountain Race Week sees the Cresta drag racing in the Top 8 shootout! Where do us Aussies place in amongst all that American muscle?

Benny walks us through his take on Sema 2023 car show.

The Toyota Crown build is back with benny explaining how he is going to persuade a Frankenstein gearbox to fit inside the tunnel.

Benny shapes the tunnel of the Toyota Crown to fit the Great Wall gearbox. Arguably the point of no return... the 'irreversible' !!
