Dude, that's a bit rude. It's a UC torana meaning it came out with a 6 cylinder from holden. Calling it a sunbird would be like calling a B4 a GX liberty with a turbo.

Each to their own. Keep your uneducated opinions to your self in future.

Did you know the LX torana also came out in a sunbird model?

Also the A9X has the same floorplan as the UC.

I agree the rear is a bit ugly. It's not so bad cause mine is the two door model.

I profer the LH/LX read end.

The hatch is a rare bird Studricho, Did u know that Holden actaully released a turbo charged 202 in 1978, in the Hatch only. I think it ran 12psi. I have the specs in a workshop manual somewhere.

Werent the 4cyl sunbird models the OHC opel 2ltr's?. Single downdraught stormberg.

Squishy, i did the same thing with my first car, it was a HQ woody tho. Awesome car, saved a mates and my own life in a pretty serious stack, even at 30yrs of age (the 308 was still running, even after we climbed out of the windscreen as the car was so bent no doors would open.)

The opel engine earned the nickname hopeless engine and the starfire earned the name backfire.

The turbo UC your talking about was the UC torana SL/T.

Update 1/03/08

Found out that a mate who is an auto sparky by trade had lost his job and was looking for some work to do. So i called him and asked him if he was interested in doing the torana wiring up.
I'm so happy with what he has done. He has stripped down the RB25DET harness and has all the relays/fuses sorted ready to go.
The car goes in on Monday to get some structural work done. Anyway some pics.




I've been working heaps on the car. I want to drive the car, not look at it in my garage. It's been always 90% work on bikes, then 10% on the car. The tide has turned. All going well i should have the engine firing in about 3 weeks.

No problem scoop, i found one local. Did you change your user name?

Yeah i did Stud, it was Suprauc .

Studricho great project you have there,looks neat .
Will it be engineered and road registered??

Also speaking of Starfire 4's my first car VC commodore was fitted with one, strong rods tough built sixes used these in the old days!!
