It's his special Wizard brew. He makes it in the backyard in large copper vats and runs it around in his 32 Ford with his mate Bonnie. You can purchase it from your local auto parts store in the form of Carburettor Cleaner. Its like starting fluid but you can clean your nail polish off with it.
Your options are pretty limited, you can either buy one or steal one, these are the two most common approaches, but you could also move to Australia which would greatly increase your chances of buying or stealing one. Just kidding, good luck with your search.
@@FULLBOAR They are mate! I use mine as a daily driver. All original with the 18R-C but I did give her a bit of TLC when I picked it up a few years ago. Looking forward to seeing more videos of it.
@@FULLBOAR Yeah ride comfort pretty much zero haha, 18R-C goes ok, rebuilt carb, etc, does 100 ok, but sits on 90-95 more comfortably. A lot quicker than the 2.2L diesel in that model lol
Haha that’s awesome mate. I’ve done a bit of work with the 22R in my Bundera. I was told by a fella that advancing the cam timing really makes them fly. It really does. Wonder if that would apply to the 18r-c as they potentially had a retarded cam timing for emissions. Anyway, it’s always great to hear from other fellow Toyota lovers. And you’re right, those L engines are the slowest moving objects on the planet.
@@FULLBOAR Met a guy at the Ballinana tip shop the other day driving a rn40 4wd ute (with tub!) - bloody rusty though but still going. I am nearly at the point with mine that I can stop spinning wrenches and enjoy it a bit ...
Nice to see an 18RG, great to see it resurrected.
The early ones with the round headlights are the best looking models in my opinion
Yeah mate I’m really warming up to the body style. I wish it had come with the style-side tray.
I had almost the exact set up, white, 83 4WD Hilux, 18RG, 4 speed,
Go the 18rg. Keen to see more videos on it mate. Would be mint to see it smashing around
Cheers mate. Trying to get some time to get some work done on the old beast. Hopefully get some episodes out soon.
That is a fine specimen.
Nice motor 18rg
Nice set of Mikuni Solex"s, Japanese Webers

Im in the us and want a 18rg for my 85 celica gts how would i go about getting one

Bloody hell mate , more rust then the 40
Didn’t think it was possible.
Is there a difference between a 18rgeu and a 18rgu
18rgeu is electronic fuel injected, whereas the 18rgu is not
@@FULLBOAR is it just as easy to fit into a rn46?
whats the mpg on the 18r approx?
Wouldn’t have a clue mate.
Same as mine except mine's a 79 and has a lot less rust lol
They’re a rig mate.

Dedication. Probably not the easiest daily. But certainly got class. How does the 18R-C go getting to 100kmh?

If you are wrecking the rest of the vehicle, please let me know.
Nah mate sorry. Big plans for this beast.
@@FULLBOAR Cool. I'll be watching. Just need a few bits and pieces so let me know if you find an rn30 or rn40 around the traps for parts.
No wakkas mate, will do.
