My second car - Pulsar GTI R

[Richyy182]

Its actually not too bad - boost comes on fairly quick and fast and you certainly know about it when its going

 

[imprezaworks]

Old neighbour years a go had one. Quickest car he'd owned. Was like 350-400, something like that. Utterly horrible on fuel.

Yes agreed - it really does like the Shell Petrol station

 

[CrippsCorner]

I remember when these were 4-5k 🤣

Was just reading a thread on PistonHeads and someone posted an Integra that was on CC for £22k... I once turned one down at £6k

Don't!

I was chatting to a guy on the ITR forum many years ago who lived in Cornwall. Had a fully resprayed DC2 he was willing to let go for 2.5k! Was just too far at the time

Nissan fwend 😊😊

Cheap as chips that! Compare it to any other rally slag from the same era and it really is an under appreciated bargain! There was one local to me back in the day, I never raced him in my Delta. Nope wasn't me occifer 🤣.

Its the quickest car I've ever had tbh - it just takes off.

I might try get it to 350/400BHP then leave it

Like those starlet turbo things. Quick little cars.

Like those starlet turbo things. Quick little cars.

But absolute death traps.

3 figures down country lanes. Never felt fear like it.

My hybrid turbo Glanza was nuts.

No Pulsar though..

Damn! My Integra story isn't my worse loss though. Someone working in the same yard as me had an RX-7 which I loved and I saw it parked up for a while. At the time I was driving a Honda CRX... spoke to the guy and he said the engine had blown, and asked if I fancied a swap! Said no, I mean why would I want a car with a dead engine?

Somewhat regret that now!

I remember the local takeaway bloke had a FD RX-7, he blew the engine. Seeing my mate in his (smoky) S13 he offered a swap.
Scoffing my mate said not a chance, then the FD was offered up for £1000, that was refused too.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I remember someone calling my starlet gt a mini gtir. I always wanted a gtir at the time as well. I love these cars.

An excellent example of the Japanese homologation special.

I remember these so well back in the 90’s. Chap down the end of our village had one. It just looked a different level of Aggro than any other car of its time. I remember, back then, being shocked a car that small being so powerful…before being tuned. Shows how far the world has moved on now, but that was probably 25 years ago at least

Yeah I remember fella in my estate bought one after getting a compo claim, just a pity it only lasted for a few weeks till he decided to take it out after a night out on the titles and totalled it! Didn't feel sorry for him 1 bit, got out a fled on foot and left the poor passenger trapped inside with multiple injuries

I ship for a company called the Supra Market. They buy Supras here for £50k then...

https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/toyota/supra

I work in shipping but work with a lot of US buyers who purchase vehicles in the UK, we collect and ship to them.

Any jap vehicle in the UK over 25 years old should be advertised as US exportable tbh. They're even starting to buy all the cheap 1.4 Civic EK's

Q for Tom Does the right hand drive factor hurt the USA prices a) just a little b) quite a bit, or c) teminally??

 

[leonf]

oh,,,,,,,,, and while I'm here. Seeing this reminded me of a guy here in New Zealand (I live there) who has the gti-r itch.
To the point where he has accumulated quite a few of them..............

Not at all.. if anything it seems they get kudos for having a JDM RHD. I ship a lot of old land rovers over there and it’s the same with them.

 

[Donny_Dog]

I recall being neck and neck with a standard one, in a 172 in a fair few illegal events. Does that seem right? Thought it would have disappeared.
The 172 did have a phase 1 airbox though.

 

[R3k1355]

Standard power was like 220-230ish, of course abit of a boost leak or bad timing and who knows what power it'd make.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Power-to-weight probably isn't a million miles off a Clio, so I wouldn't expect much difference in straight-line performance, especially once you factor in drivers and other conditions.

Put both on a wet, muddy B-road and it would probably be a different story.

That power would be at the crank so factor in the drive train losses and extra weight it prob not far off the clio but the pulsar easier to get more power becasue boost and choo choo noises

And my other toy as we are on Cliosport ha

[Christopher]

Love it! Always had a soft spot for these.

 

[DaveL485]

I was king of my area in my 21 Turbo when I was in my early 20's until one of these showed up, it handed me my arse, I was gutted! Fab things.

Cool car. Do you use it often?

 

[Richyy182]

I work in London so don’t really drive it much - just a weekend toy tbh. It’s great fun though

Yesssss

Can sell you a set of gtr front brembos 🤣🤣

 

[Scrooge]

I love these, just absurd.

A modified one absolutely destroyed my punto back when I started driving. I’ll never forget the sound and how the front lifted up and then just absolutely fucked off up the road.
