Would you lot like some cheese to go with all that whine lol
In my short period of Pulsar ownership this seems to be the typical attitude: pulsars are waste of money, might as well go and buy an evo/skyline/impreza etc.
Well if thats what you think and thats as constructive as you can manage, why don't you all clear off and do so? It seems very ironic to me that thesame people that are always talking about raising the profile of the GTi-R are the same people to talk it down at every opportunity.
For the people that have built big power Pulsars, why don't you share some the technicalities of the problems you faced rather than moaning about how you wish that you'd bought something else or gone on holiday more. You spent your money as you thought best and you're not going to get it back so stop being bitter.
For me I love wasting money on cars, I have always spent all my disposable income on modifying, tuning and manitaining the cars I've owned. I don't expect to get a penny of it back, but I get great enjoyment out of it. I really don't see that its anyone's bussiness how I or anyone else spends their money.
if thats referring to my earlier post (which i assume it is)
well youve got me wrong buddy!
i never said it can not be achieved as its already been done and will be done again and again no doubt.
im merely trying to give out some friendly advice and stop the guy from potentially wasting a load of money.
we get people down our place every day with enquiries saying they want 500bhp etc etc etc but many want it done on a shoestring and a lot of them are young lads who are getting themselves in debt to achieve the goal, then realise they cant pay their credit cards or loans a few weeks later then sell the car on at a big loss and regret the day they ever started going down the big bhp route.
these are the cars that get broken for spares and are leading to the demise of the car as a whole. if everyone accepted them for what they are, being ''a very quick 90s hothatch for very little money'' then maybe there would be more left in circulation instead of being broke for financial gain or ending up wrapped up a lamp post or tree somewhere
now if i was clever and crafty i would or should write in reply to the original thread 'YES GO FOR IT' that way i and other traders / tuners can make even more money as people will be buying more stuff for modding etc.
you state that im saying about raising profile of the car and on the other hand im putting it down....well that simply is not true
why do you have to have umpteen million bhpz to raise the profile of a car???
why not accept it for what it is with a sensible power figure (i do), is that putting the car down in any way?
i love these cars as much as i did when i first bought one (not because im a trader) the trading bit came afterwards!
but over the years ive seen all types of builds, projects, and breakdowns and i now accept their limitations.
as trip said the block itself is a 20 yearold design and it does have limitations with regard to cooling, oil flow etc
anyone who has got pots of money and wishes to blow it all on modifying there car to whatever level they wish to achieve then i honestly say good luck to them and i sincerely hope youll be happy with it
take my advice or leave it it makes no difference to me
but please dont think im putting the car down just because i say it will not be reliable at 650bhp lol
oh and btw john doe isnt odin as hes not upset anyone yet:lol::lol::lol:
