Tuning an EP82 to beat an R34 (Option video)

Back


Taken from Option2 2006 10. A fairly stock EP82 Starlet Turbo is bullied on the highway by a cocky R34 GTR owner. The EP82 owner then takes his car to HRF Tuners, hands over some cash and asks to beat the Skyline. Que the modified EP appearing to challenge the R34 to a Wangan battle, the EP promptly destroys the R34, this is then repeated on a track...the final meeting is on the dragstrip where the R34 owner has bought a new car to beat the EP. Sadly although the EP gets the drop on the R34, the car suffers mechanical failure and the R34 wins. Just shows what a bit of knowhow can achieve on a 1.3ltr engine!

My track EP82 torque steers a lot, but it's all part of the FF fun. Power to weight is what gives these cars the edge when you up the power. Mine with just 203atw leaves a good friends 380hp R32 GTR from a standing start ;)

Yeah bearing in mind that would cost a fucking bomb to buy the r34 and modify it whereas the starlet about £15k at the most so please shut up you noob! besides at the end the skyline is modified and still gets beat hahaha! EP82 ftw lol !

Of course you could just get an R32 and have the best of both worlds. ie. cheap to buy and still a GTR.
