I bought mine 7 years ago now. Spent nearly 5 years re-furbing the whole car. Whenever I go out in it, i always get asked about it. Mainly at the petrol station. Awesome car.

They are so rare , so a lot of people have probably seen them on the net but never seen one in real life🙂

I had one of these about 15 years ago, was absolutely Mint and i only gave £3500 for it. It was tuned to 330bhp by a company called Hi-tec in Wigan, was absolutely rapid for the time. Miss it every day and wish I never sold it. H71 DPN was the reg

The car is a series 2 - based on that VIN. But strangely has series 1 interior and the umbrella. All of which can be fitted afterwards of course. But makes you wonder

I'm intrigued about the car scene in ireland especially Toyota, Nissan, Mazdas etc ... I have spent abit of time in Wicklow then I had a 190E ... Best review of a Pulsar I have seen

I've had mine for about 25 years now. I've never heard one whistle like that before, boost leak or not🤔 Standard clutch is average for the year, aftermarket can obviously be anything from good to bad. Standard, they aren't particularly quick, 300 horsepower will change things up a fair bit👍

Always wanted one of these but the top mounted intercooler always put me off 💥💨 I ended up trading in my Rx8 “flood machine” for a slight rougher but glorious Honda s2000 and a few quid… over 10 years ago 😮 Fast forward to today.. I still have the s2k, it sits in a lockup half of the year. This year I’m finally getting round to fully restoring before it turns to sand 😂
