Stu's Red EP71 1e/5efhe

Started off as the super nana spec 1e carb special...
ImageImage

Got my old wheels, gab suspension and si interior...

Image

Original brakes got ditched for EP82 hubs and shafts, drove that around for nearly a year then...

I got bored one week and on a wed night decided to ditch the 1e for a 5e....
That Wednesday at work...
Image

Just over an hour after getting home from work...
Image

Thursday night...
Image
Image

Friday night swapped all the EFI gear in, wired it all up. Saturday got the exhaust put on and got it running...
Image

Fitted the strut brace and painted the rocker cover.

So the basic setup list was...

1987 EP70.5 Starlet
5efhe engine with ACIS inlet
Extractors
Exhaust
EP82 Radiator
Short shifter
Freshly painted engine bay
Custom alloy catch can/radiator overflow
Stainless steel intake and K&N filter
Gab adjustable shocks
Meredex springs (sits level front and back)
Front strut brace
GT starlet front brakes/hubs and shafts
Totally overhauled rear drums
15x7 Genuine Volk Rims
Complete Si interior, including centre console and tacho dash
Oil temp, oil pressure, water temp guages
Gtst fuel pump
front lip and rear spoiler
Battery in the boot with isolator switch
Spollights in front grill
etc

At this point I very regretfully sold the car - but happy it went to a good home. Even now I wish I had of kept it but I had bought a house, and with starting a new job needed something a bit more respectible.
