I’m putting my beloved GTIR (umbrella model, still with the car) up for sale due to it failing it’s MOT this week (details below). It was going to be sold anyway as my wife & I have recently had twin baby girls, so a car with no back seats isn’t very practical. The Pulsar was my winter car & I have an RX7 for the summer (again, no back seats!), so both are going to have to be sold to make way for a 4 seater.
The Pulsar runs and drives very well, with no knocks, bangs or smoke. It’s mechanically in good working order, with no issues whatsoever (the previous owner was a mechanic). It starts first time every time. The bodywork is in good condition for the year – the arches are solid, however there is some rust starting to show. The car has been maintained to a high standard, with a full service 1000 miles ago in November 2015 (with a full oil change).
It has 106,000 showing on the clock, but this is obviously a mixture of miles & kilometres. I’m unsure of the mileage when it was imported, but the mileage is obviously less than 105,000 miles. The car was first registered in the UK on 01.07.2000, with the odometer readings at previous MOT’s as follows:
Current 106,000
11.05.15 104,437
28.02.14 103,881
12.02.11 96,150
12.02.10 90,237
12.02.09 86,538
Modifications
Engine:
Blitz Induction kit
Uprated spark plugs and HT leads
Oil – Comma 5x50 (as advised by Fusion Motorsport) – 2 full cans of oil (10L) will come with the car
Walbro high pressure fuel pump
Samco hoses all round
Front mounted intercooler
Mocal 16 row Oil cooler
Blitz dump valve
Ecu remapped
Poly bush engine mount
Stainless steel custom exhaust from turbo to tail pipe with only one silencer to bring sound down to 98 db to fit in with most track sound tests.
Titanium exhaust wrap to protect gearbox from getting too hot.
Braided turbo oil feed, return and coolant feed and return pipes.
Running 319bhp – tuned at Interpro Automotive on a rolling road (paperwork available)
Brand new alternator fitted 31.03.16
New battery fitted October 2015
Transmission:
Has had reconditioned gearbox stripped tested and rebuilt with strengthened clutch selector fork fitted (March 2015).
Millers Race transmission oil in gearbox and front lsd/transfer box (over £100 for 6L)
Short shift gear selector
Chassis:
Half roll cage fitted
Stripped out all interior apart from dash
2 bucket seats – 1 x Sparco, 1 x Raceland both with 4 point harnesses (1 x Takata, 1 x HKS)
17" OZ multi spoke wheels with tyres 5-6mm tread left on all.
Suspension:
Rear adjustable Tien coil over suspension
Front standard shocks with lowering springs
Cusco front strut brace
Brakes:
Yellow stuff pads all round
Drilled and grooved discs all round
Goodridge braided calliper hoses all round
DOT 4 race brake fluid - up to 275*c
The car has now been declared SORN & will remain that way until it’s sold. I’m in no hurry to sell it as I have the RX7 for the summer, so no silly offer please.
Regarding the MOT failure. the Pulsar needs some work doing to the chassis (A box section needs to be made & fitted due to a very small hole currently present) & a new lambda sensor is needed to sort emmissions. To be honest, I think it’s a harsh MOT failure.
In my opinion it's currently a perfect ready-to-drive track car (no MOT needed), but it would equally be perfect car for someone who could do the work to the chassis themselves to achieve an MOT.
It would take the best part of £1000 (mainly labour) to get the car through its MOT, which I don’t have spare at the moment, so I’m having to sell it at a reduced price to compensate. For someone who can do the work themselves, it would be a fraction of the cost & would add value to the car.
Feel free to e-mail me if I’ve missed anything or you want any more info (martinstaylor@hotmail.com). Will try & put some photos up shortly. It's not yet advertised anywhere else - thought here was a great place to start.
I’ve priced the car accordingly due to it not having a current MOT @ £4,500 ovno
