the sucker king Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 i found a guy with a '79 "fe" he sais it stands for fuel efficient. looks like any other 70's coupe. i think it's got a souped up engine, might not be anything that was marketed in the u.s.? he knows these cars well, so i don't think he's speaking from his butt.

Hondasucks Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 don't know about the Fuel Efficent part, but those did come with a 9.3:1 compression EA71 and are quite rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbs53 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Should have the 5 speeds as the tag said. There is one in the Peagasus yard in Athol Idaho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBARU3 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 FE was only in the coupe. They also had a higher gear ratio 5 speed. They were not any different otherwise. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
