Stu's Two Tone EP71 2e/5e

Post by Stu » Sat Mar 17, 2007 9:28 pm

NAME : Stu
MODEL : EP71 Si
YEAR : 1987
ENGINE : 2e-elu/5efe

This car was bought stock standard with relatively low km's not long after the crash of the grey car. I was driving around a AE85 for a few months but wanted to get rid of it before it started costing me too much money - it was quite rusty.

In 2e-elu guise:

2e-elu
C150 gearbox
Cold air intake box
EP91 GAB adjustable shocks (very low)
Meredex Springs
Front and rear strut braces
Crazy stock 6 speaker stereo with stock amp
Stainless cold air intake
Oil catch can
Best ET - Never tested

I ran around like this for a while untill one day a rocker arm broke, which jammed the cam and due to the fact the engine was doing about 3100rpm, the cam pulled shattered. I had a 5e stored that was originally going to go into the grey car before the crash, so I swapped that in and the car became the 5e weapon.

In 5e guise:

5efe
5efhe ACIS intake
5efhe injectors
5efhe extractors
5efhe EFI system
R32 GTST fuel pump
Suspension as above
2inch Teal Bay Performance exhaust
Battery in the boot
Front and rear strut braces
HD Clutch
Best ET - Never tested
Sports wheel from the grey car

With the 5e in it, this car was fast and had an awesome induction noise. It would quite often beat turbo starlets up till 3rd gear and due to the suspension was very good around corners. It was about this stage that I had the Turbo S which I used as a daily driver, so the car was semi retired. Kris borrowed it for a while and eventually the rust took its toll and the body was scrapped.
