blackRA28 Forums Junkie Location: adelaide Registered: May 2002	Re: 18R-c .......It aint that bad is it? Mon, 23 September 2002 15:00 I have an 18r-c powered ra28 and its a lot of fun to drive, and i love it because it is the motor the car has always had and thats just what it is. It goes alright and is a perfect get-me-round engine, but it does lack a bit compared to faster cars. I mean it is what it is tho and when you realise that it is the pov aussie version of the car it still goes alright up against the eccy's and other cars much lighter. Signle cams like twin cams have there distinctive sound and you gotta love the sound of a single cam at full peak in the drivers seat. Mind you id love the sound of a efi twincam 2litre beast and i cant wait for an engine conversion to boost power up a little. ra28s have the looks to impress but they really need those guts to stand up for itself against the likes of a lot of newer or modded cars on the street. It will happen soon. And there is nothing wrong with a good engine swap, it really makes an old car stand out and you can instantly picture what the engine has come from and how the properties of both cars mix. The sound of a piazza gemini running hi boost is amazing, so too is the sound of a starion chrysler lancer running carby turbo, the sound of a series5 13Bturbo in a series 2 is awesome aswell. So too is a series 4 13b in a '73 Capella RE. A nice mix of oldskool styling with newer technology can only be good. Engine conversion are dope thats all i have too say. I guess you either got one or you dont tho... thats the way it is [Report message to a moderator]
