Wow
I woulda thought that a 2001 EJ20 with its AVCS and such would have more than the ol' EJ22

But obviously not

*Sniggers*
Whats the transmission for both the cars?
Is her car completely stock, cause that'd be icing on the cake for me

Needs a bigger tip

I think you'll find the difference is in the weight, with all the new safety design crap that they have to introduce on all cars..

The early libs were only 1.2 tonn werent they?

*edit on redbook it says:

Gen 1 lib 2.2: 100kw 1147kg
Gen 3 lib 2.0: 92kw and 1410kg.

lol classic. beaten by a girl. maybe some neons and that pod filter will give you some extra vital kw's.
well those redbook stats sum it up. i knew u'd need more power soon.

and i have probably 50kg's of stereo stuff, and i weigh AT LEAST 40kgs more than her.

fwd is abit more responsive than awd as well i reckon.

and yes, maybe i need to polish her more for aerodynamics etc, oh and i had my HID and foggies on, she had no lights on. BAHAHA EXCUSES!

EDIT: and then the wagon just comes along and smashes all of them!

So your rice rocket got toasted. This is what you get when you spend your money on neons, subwoofers and HIDs and forget about what really matters.

My runabout hack has about 180kw. My not yet running offroader will have bucketloads more. I honestly can't see myself owning a car with anything less from now on.. there's nothing worse in my book than not being able to accelerate quickly when I need to. Better to be a slow driver in a fast car than the other way around.
I bet there's a thousand Hondas out there that could beat you too. Sucked in.

Now heres the kicker: You've just admitted again on a public forum that you've committed an illegal act (street racing). You should watch what you say hey...

What exact cars and engines are we talking about here , I gather the 92 is an L series wagon with a std EJ22 NA ? Whats the 2001 thing ?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think a first gen Liberty weighed ~1340 Kg and my 85/86 RX sedan is about 1060 (A/C gone) . My guess is that an EJ powered L wagon would tip the scales at somewhere in the mid 1100's , also the L would be geared fairly low for a 2.2L car particularly if it still has the 13" wheels .

If your later car weighs a fair bit more then your pushing it uphill with a pointy stick . You have 200cc's less with more mass and late engines are not famous for low end torque .

If it were me I'd slip 4 bags of cement in the L wagon and try not to look at the billboards showing the girl with the bent over pinkie .

Lol ..... l:mrgreen:

Who needs heaps of power in a road car / daily hack anyway? not like you can use it on the road

U gotta remember Alex's L series also has a severe weight disadvantage over other cars - it usually has him in it =)

nasty but true. hehehe...

Hey alex, why do you always set yourself up like this for us to have a dig at your expense? Are we meant to be more like "poor alex, really needs a more powerful engine in his lib cos he got beaten by a girl - his sister no less - I'll give you a hand with that mate..."
