Just bought this

This is my project car.

Update soon, woohoo!

Thanks to my bird for this one

PICS PICS PICS

Like these motors

Pics will be up later, going for some munch then coming back the garage and meeting scotty boy here.

good choice super pocket rocket! pics pics pics

Yes Yes Yes Yes.....Awesome, Misunderstood cars....NICE ONE

i seriously looked at buying one of these but just the hole gear box an running gear put my of but there a lovly car to drive

Here are some pics from last night hence the quality.

More....

Plenty of dials and confectionery hahahaha

What are ya plans for it mate??

I suggest the Rally Look, seeing as they were never really given the chance to do damage in the WRC..

...

I want to m0ove the intercooler for a start, how silly putting it in the hottest part of the engine bay???? So the bumper will be cut and the intercooler placed at the front of the engine.

I wouldn`t mind the rally look but car would have to stay black.

Headlights need replacing for quads if possible as it looks too much like a sunny for me.

Wheels have gotta go but in good time, not in any hurry.

K & N will be moved to the underneath of the car to get constant flow of cold air instead of warm when engines hot

Sounds really Good mate...

Deffo keep it black, would look immense with a cage nd things. Maybe even bonnet mounted Lightpod?? (OTT for some)

Lol, i used to have a honda accord coupe mk1 with night rider lights in the bonnet vent, that looked pretty cool.
will think of something different though.

Japanese have it right with motors methinks, if only our country followed suit.

as long as it doesnt wind up looking like this it'll be good!!




now this, is perfection lol

Wowee, is this the one you said about? Are there any gremlins? It looks v.nice!!

i ave seen this car in the flesh and wow for the age of the car its in excellent condition and wot a beast it is on the road wen we was pickin this monster up and i can assure ou all its extreamly quick i must say my 2.0ltr 130BHP mondeo was stuggling to keep up with this car.

Excellent car i must say well done steven good choice u ave made gettin this vehicle

bin the top mount off, no point in repositioning it just get a front mount kit. Always liked these cars, gearboxs are prone to failure at around 300bhp, also big wheels can cause headaches, some people say keep with 15's some say 16's are the best.

Hope it all goes well with it.

Here's one from passionford.com.....

My mate in work had two, he said the mpg is shocking. Not sure how good they are to drive, but I know they're fast (and have four seats).

Thanks guys, any hints appreciated

The spotlights were painted black for some strange reason? well i`ve cleaned them up now and they look a lot better.

Also painted the lettering on the tyres to take the eyes off the crappy wheels

Pics....

not sure on the tyre paint, always thought it was a bit :gay: looking lol

and i think it will attract eyes to the wheels even more with it

sorry ste i ave to agree wid davey on this one

Nahhh, i think it looks well better, the car is getting the `rally` look after all!

Been working on my other car today, got the engine out finaly scott (thanks for the help on said vehicle)

Moving tomorrow so hopefully make a start on this car through the week

The cleaned spotlights look awesome mate. Mad why they were painted to start with.

Also, an idea for wheels (may or may not agree), theyre fairly expensive and rare, but a nice set of white 5 spoke compo's?????


Have you thought bout Mudflaps as well (Colour etc)...once its all done, they really help finish the look off, as well as keepin the back clean I know a lot of people dont like them tho to be honest

TBH Id be quite surprised if it didnt leave you for dead

They are 225bhp std, with 4WD.

Very very similar SR20DET to my old 180SX, though the diff/gearbox reliability is questionable at the 300bhp / 300ft/lb mark and on the roads they have a tendancy to understeer.

Ive driven a few - very quick out of the box, but Ive always thought they where a bit unentertaining to drive

If you need any help with the motor....

the chance of him lettin me ave ago of this are very very slim lmao he was cryin wen i was drivin his beloved MR2

Very nice Toto, im with you on the tyres tho, the white writing looks cool.

Just keep hold of this one for more than 5 minutes.

White alloys would look smart and a FMIC would be a beast. Headlights look fin imho, what about just some eyebrows for them and a new grille.

Bit stuck on this car at mo as its not registered yet, need time to goto DVLA, work work work at mo

Don`t worry, i`ll be keeping this as well as my MR2

Cheers stuey

Like the idea of the white alloys (spinkings alloys are real nice) something similar to those with a deeper dish would be cool.
Gonna see if i can get a bonnet pod for spotlamps but after the MOT as i think they will fail

http://www.jdmperformance.co.uk/category.php?carNumber=35&carMake=Sunny%20and%20Pulsar for all sorts

cheers waddi, i`ll take a look

sweet little pocket rocket u got there mr toto...

it might be a while b4 ya see this on the road as he aint got time to sort it out yet

white wheels will look great without the tyre paint, u'll look like a floppy wristed fooker with that and the new wheels lol - i remember a guy down my road used to paint the tyres on his pug 205 religiously about 10 years ago, god it looked awful... each to their own tho lol

saying that, im the same with regards to the light pod - unless u're gonna rally the thing there's no point - they r only there to serve a purpose, so again, unless u plan on rallying ur car...

just my opinions of course

Painting tyres with what?

Tipex! Lol

had a day off today but got called into work i was hoping to pay the DVLA a visit to start the ball rolling on this too

The light pods will be a nice feature to the vehicle and i don`t like having the same car as everyone else, the pods and tyre paint will differentiate my vehicle from all the other pulsars out there and i wont be branded a copycat (so to speak) if that makes me look gay then so be it, at the end of the day i`ll be the one laughing when people taking the piss are just a distinctive dot in my rear view mirror

Good idea about making it distinguishable

Topopop matey link to the rims.



clicky

Looking forward to seeing this on the road.

Thanks

Hopefully start making progress tomorrow, scotts helping me out and visiting the DVLA for me to find out how i mot it so it can be registered

Im happy one of my ideas has been properly thought about

I was gonna buy a universal Lightpod for my Micra, cos I do eventually wanna rally it.

Thing is Davey, people who make the car look like rallycars, only ever go as far as Mud Flaps, and a showcage. Thats it. To get the lightpod on the car would look fantastic, and show the car what it was capable of back in the day.


LIGHTPOD LIGHTPOD LIGHTPOD

Heres the sorta thing I want for the Micra...similar idea to the Sunny...

Yes they are the ones craig, i`d like a set with the 2 middle lights raisedslightly if i can get them.

That wide arch kit looks fantastic

Yup, its the old works Nissan Micra Kitcar, Giant Killing 1.3.

The lights you want are more oftenly used on the Imprezas if Im not mistaken, sure it wouldnt be too difficult to transfer them over.

Going for MOT this week

when will ye know are kid,(if its past)

Lol, its going to fail, i know for a fact, it needs the brakes tweeking, couple of bulbs and the windshield wipers need replacing and thats just what ive noticed
Its been off the road for two years as well so knowing my luck the emmision test will fail miserably

lmao

I did the same with my Astra, but it passed. Wasn't expecting it. Get all the little things changed, it might go through! good luck!

Ye har

He didnt pass but failed on silly things i believe, find out more when i pick it up tomorrow

It failed nicely

I need 2 headlamp bulbs and aim adjusting

tie rod end

wipers

both anti roll bar brackets

2 brake pipe clips

handbrake adjusting

and a flexi hose for the exhaust

sorry to hear Ste

looks you better get some work done on this

Nicely indeed - maybe 1/2 days work and £50-£100 in parts - could have been a lot worse

Nice one.

Hopefully shell be up and running and road legal in no time at all. Not bad for 2 years of non drivingness

Tie rod end being the hardest?? But don't take it to Bathers to get it tracked!

I`m not doing the work on this, my mate steve colyers doing it, i have enough on my plate with my mr2 and me civic needs a gearbox

:r:with it soundin like a plane. comeing into land

Good luck with it

yes good luck with this steve hope it gets sorted be good to see this on the road which i must point out i already have but be good to see it out and about at the meets

lol....

No

Smaller wheels the whole way boyo....

i agree with Craig.

the others are nice but chavvy. the smaller ones look right

When ya get a car as crap as mine, you need the wheels to make it look good.

Pulsar GTI-r tho, is a car that doesnt need messing with too much.

no dont look right you need to sell them to me

They aint crap, your just used to it (i`ve had a few & loved them)

Aye, but i dont like the wheels that are on the car guys, now if they were like the ones in the pics here....






i`d love em, but i cannot find any for a good price.

The ones on the car will be for sale soon

Thought about a set of White 5 Spoke Compos????


Also, the wheels on the Fiat are blatantly Go Kart wheels, with normal Road tyres stretched over them hahahaha

lol, i wouldnt have those tyres over them, those wheels are also known from the mk2 essie and capri days as `supa/superslot/mags`

Ste - you have some strange tastes lol

Personally I like the wheels on it - not to sure about the white lettering on the tyres but the wheel on the back looks too big, and the car looks like a micro machine, and those Uno wheels are too euro on a jap car....

Those wheels have been banded. If you take steels to a fabrictor, they will take the rim off, cut them in half and weld a strip of metal in, and then weld the lot back together again. I'd have steelies over alloys anyday, I've become sick of aftermarket alloys.

According to Gtir owners 16's are the ones to have.

Their is a company who do banded wheels in the uk but they are expensive. Plus they are illegal on the uk roads.

Jap 15's or 16's with a dark gold colour would look great.

Some thing like these...

so long as they wheels are certified they are perfectly legal, and to get those ones cost around 100-150 a rim

deffo don't suit the car.


^^ They're FIT

Either them or as Craig said, 5 spoke white compomotives

i`ll look for some white compomotives, i quite like them, thanks for your opinions guys

if you want new comps try www.reyland.co.uk they are the cheapest.

cheers

Its prob been mentioned on here so i appologise for askin again, but what's the pcd and offset your looking for ?

have`nt the foggiest mate. ?

Yeah, fixed the aireal today

Clicky

them wheels would like great on ur car

looks nice

4x100, bore 59.1 offset around 32-40

have ye sorted it yet ste

No mate, Need 2 anti roll bar brackets and windsors were being bell ends so i ended up walking out.
Not had much time to run round lately with work n all

Cheers for that Phil
(4x100, bore 59.1 offset around 32-40)

The Cavalier Cesaro came with Compomotive replicas if you get stuck (same PCD):



Cheap!

Unfortunatly this car was sold due to my impatience of getting it registered and the fact that i`m restoring my MR2 which will be costing more than i thought.

Dave Murdock of MADD Motors now has it and John Barr told me before that he`s just blew the clutch out & asked him how much to fit a new one (funny, i was at Daves before & he did`nt mention it?) Tut tut, NEVER take one of these to the extreme!
The clutch in this was perfect

I have a Renault 5 GT Turbo & my MR2 MK1 now, the 5 Turbo needs a clutch as it slips VERY slightly in high gears when the turbo kicks in but i dont give a shit, i`ll just throw a new one in next week and wait for the head gasket to pop

How much is a new clutch?

denno mate, what you on about?
the 5 or the pulsar?
