thanks to northy for bringing me my pulsar the 150 mile trip


hope you have fun with the clio, im just glad the things gone!


took her for a spin this morning and i forgot how fast these things are!

running aprox 230bhp on standard boost at min
once windscreen is done and sideskirts are back on she's going up to 300bhp at just over 1 bar boost :twisted:

i dunno id i like the white OZ alloys or not

i was gonna have them sprayed black i dunno tho

Justin..
03-12-2006, 19:53
is that a sump guard ?

Justin..
03-12-2006, 19:55
i'd go for a gunmetal colour ratehr than black, would be to much black otherwise

matt uk
03-12-2006, 20:06
yeah sump guard

has turbo timer

dump valve/ BOV

full 5zigen zorst, sounds awesome



next mods are..... digital boost with 3 settings

standard 0.65 bar 235bhp aprox with mods
1 bar 285bhp aprox with mods
1.3 bar 325bhp aprox with mods


gonna have decat pipe and FMIC within next couple of weeks and a walbro fuel pump so should handle up to the 1.3 bar although it'll mostly be run at 1 bar 1.3 for brief moments of madness as it still stock engine

hopefully be all sorted around new year time

Very nice. Im after one myself in the new year - spotted one i really like for sale in the GTiR owners club forums, just gotta hope its still around in a couple of months..

matt uk
03-12-2006, 21:34
you can get em cheap this time of year so id buy in next few weeks mate as value will go back up after new year


theres a few good un's arounf the £2.5k mark


i'd drfinatly get one tho pal the performance is unreal

Coops
03-12-2006, 21:39

i'd love one of the skyline msonsters but their just so expensive!

when you add up the cost of the pulsar plus fixing it up im gonna have a 320bhp car for under £1500

wow...... get a pulsar coops

from the front they look awsome and the car kinda grows on you,

got one in the workshop with a full build and aiming for a torquey 400-450.........but one thing is for sure, they are UGLY as sin!

Coops
03-12-2006, 22:03
tbh i have been tempted but am gonna get a willy in new year maybe then hope it holds its value to sell up for a skyline in late 2008/early 2009! :twisted:

big hp
03-12-2006, 22:06
I'd like a pulsar or a 4x4 cossie.

matt uk
03-12-2006, 22:24
400-450bhp that gonna be silly fast

i cant wait for 320 bhp

its quite easy to get them around 320bhp but 400-450bhp!

your gonna have had to spend some money on that!



grr im on standard boost and put £15 of optimax in today and ive done 65 miles and its nearly empty!

these sure are thirsty

definatly a weekend car!

RSTuning
03-12-2006, 22:39
Wait till you turn the boost up mate! I had mine running approx 8mpg with not to crazy mods.

I have gotta say i really don't miss working on them though!

Ooooo that street looks so quiet without some form of clio sat on it!

Get those wheels replaced or done matt black - looks rubbish on white ones!

evouk
04-12-2006, 00:24
Have to agree awesome cars for the money. just have piss poor gearboxes!!!!

Ive been lucky enough to own 4 of these over the years, can remember having my first one when everyone was cossie mad and nobody knew what hey were!!!

Get it out on track dude!!!!

Pic of my last one stretching its legs after being run in!!!

matt uk
04-12-2006, 00:24
yes daz its the same street that you started you williams journey on....

i always regretted selling you that williams... until yesterday when i finally got this monster and now it all makes so much sense 8)

regarding the white wheels i also thought black wouls be good maybe with a red lip like some starlets have..

anyone fancy a go on photoshop?

evouk
04-12-2006, 00:25

Engine rebuild!!!!

matt uk
04-12-2006, 00:29
looks smart that mate

are the wheels white?, look nice lowered

mines on standard suspension and 16's suspension is the last thing i'd change after all the perfoormance mods... yours looks just right height tho....

evouk
04-12-2006, 00:31
On the tracxk one the wheels were lightweight ones in white, suit the black car nicely as breaks up all the black.

Car sat on GAB adjustable suspension so lowered but nothing mental as not to upset the handling too much.

You really need to invest in the whiteline handling KIT to get the best handling out of one.

matt uk
04-12-2006, 00:32
that engine bay looks gorgeous!


look so much easier to work on when the top mount intercooler is off

FMIC is definatly one of next things im doing


gotta get new plugs for it tomrrow!

£12 a piece!!!!! plus i have to take the top mount off just to get to the plugs

bad design if you ask me

BenR
04-12-2006, 01:12
not the only thing on the powertrain which is a bad design!

engines are great fro producing cheap power, they go all day as long as there not tunning too much boost with a badly set up fuelling map. Ive seen a lot detonate themselves into bits due to this.

Gearboxes are poor!!!!

Intercooler is in the wrong position sat on top of the engine bay!!!

Apart from that there awesome...........

matt uk
04-12-2006, 13:15
ah there she is about to start her journey north!

looks really plain on there without the sideskirts i must get them on asap

im bidding on a intercooler on ebay as we speak so hopefully get that on next week or so

the gearbox on mine seems really really good but i suppose they can go bang anytime :o
