 RA23 vs 202 LH torana

this happened a while ago but im proud of it!
this christmas i had to drive to albury to see all the relations
my car is nothing special. just the 18rc with a sports exhaust and some old school wheels.
so i finally arive in albury and i see another a car with ACT plates and P plates..
it looked pretty crap but sounded ok had some pretty wide wheels and had too bogan looking chicks in the car..
so we pull up at the lights and they are kinda giving it a bit of a rev and looking over my car..
so i turn the stereo down a lil and give a little rev, not knowing if they were going to give me a go..
the lights go green and we both go for it,
it was head to head thru first but i got the lead on second by a car length.. changing to third i let it drop back to the 60 km speed limit and give a wave as they fly by...
not much of a win but its good enough for me!

hey dude, sorry to say it but a 202 in an LH would chew you up and spit you out in a stock celica, hell, I wouldn't even be too confident in an 18rg.

It's a bit like the time that I was in my dad's 1.3ltr 1983 pulsar and a 2 door BMW convertablem,lowered, mags, exhaust etc. pulled up next to me at the lights. They were looking at me in my car so I thought I'd give them a drag, well anyway I kicked there ass by about a car length or 2. I was really happy with that. All show and no go!

Nothing worse than a sleeper to put you in your place!
When my RA23 was running like a pig on heat I was beaten buy a grandpa in an old morris minor. He wasn't even trying!
I hung my head in shame!

i think the biggest shame i had was like the first day i got my RA23, with the boat anchore for a motor
18rc, and this old grampa looking fella over took me at like 140 in this old school chrystler,
the embarassing was.. i tried to catch him!

umm i dunno about a 18rc, but i could keep up with a mate's worked 202 LJ (apparently nearly xu-1 spec...) with my 18rg, so im pretty sure i'd be faster than a regular one
odubt i'd have a chance against his new torry tho... worked 308 slr (just wait till i can afford a 1ggte  )

Yesterday i took on a Audi A4 1.8T i was quite surprised because i managed to keep up with it to about 100 which was the speed limit. The only thing ive done to the 18r-c is jetted the carby everything else is bog stock

If that torana was near xu-1 spec then there is no way that you'd be able to keep up with it. My dad owned an original that raced in Bathurst (no mods) and he said that he's never been in anything like it since. He's still got the manual at home for tuning the tripple sidedraft strongburgs!!! He was stuffing around in his VX berlina and was telling me that it still doesn't have the same takeoff and power as his xu-1.
My 18r-c in my Number 1,2 and 3 celica's are all boat anchors, but the 4th has some get up and go in it. Slightly modified when rebuilt with webber, extractors and sports exhaust! My 5th 18r-c will become an 18R-G and then will be turboed, intercooled etc! If that doesn't fly then something is wrong!

i bought a bucket of bolts RA23 with an 18RG with twin solex's
and supra 5 speed..
lol if that dont go alright,
im going straight for the 1GGZE
oh yeah gimmie some of that supercharged goodness!!!!
hehe
i think the only reason to i want to get the ZE is because i wanna install a switch that turns the super charger on and off..
so i can run around on a 2lt 6, and then i can switch the charger on and give people a run,

well i dont know how near to xu-1 spec it was... it did have the head completely done over, but no triple carbs  dunno what else was done, but it was a beast!
and no, i dont think a stock 18rg nearly compares to a 190 hp race engine (mabye if i put a turbo on it??? )

It could be? I don't know, haven't really looked into it.  I bought a reco'd 18R-C for $150 and then my b/f said lets do this and this and this to it and I said ok if you pay and he said yes.
Can't really complain!

Yeah, he actually has enquired about an 18R-G that's in WA so depending on the price I might end up getting that. A good friend of mine re-co's engines at mate's rates and we know a lot of people who can get us really good deals on all this sort of stuff. But I'll pay for some of the stuff cause it is my car.
And we want to prove a point to my brother that RA23's are better than KE70's!

Yeah, him and his mate have similar crapollas. It's funny cause they always try to out do each other but at the end of the day they still have the stock engine in there and they both look like the family run-a-bout with all these wanky features on them!
RA23's for ever!!

Yeah, thrash bomb is ok but when you go and spend $200 on a steering wheel, $200 on paint and then several hundred on a sports exhaust (no extractors, stock 1.3ltr engine) and won't replace the streched to the shitter clutch cable then it's just a joke.
I wouldn't care if anyone hit my blue celica <<<<<<< (Jokey), get the money for it, it's all good, got 3 others to then worry about.
I love car's with no crumple zones!

Hmmm, thinking about it, the 202 is really a bog of a motor, it really nothin specail but u have to consider the fact that the torana had passangers in it and from what i gather from your story i gather u did not.

for old pushrod inline 6's 202 (and their little bro's) have amazing potential and great revability for a 3.3L
when i was first starting out in cars my first project was not even close to XU-1 spec motor in a LJ 4 door, easy 14.4 quarter with only wild cams, high compression pistons, pacemaker extracotrs, yella terra head and balanced and shot peened bottom end (and on 185's )
i think most ppl in these forums underestimate the holden 6's
btw, someone said they beat a near XU-1 spec torona? i'd like to see that... either it wasnt XU-1 spec, or your lying
