All of the phase 2 cars ie black and white ones, but according to the oz website there was actually 4 phases of production.

Yep, mines 'body number': 151263. It doesn't have ABS or the clutch pedal support bracket. I'm also positive it doesn't have side impact bars.

I think pulsar boby needs to do a bit of a weigh up, a 91-92 door and a 93-94 door and see if theres a difference

pretty sure ive read a thread on here before about the later doors weighing more :confused:, might try and find that!!

I think the early doors only weigh less because of all the rust ! :lol:

Oh no sorry, that'll be the rear wings.....

The doors without the impact bars do weigh less, but I can't remember how much exactly. It's about 3-5kg.

I fancy it big time, its just what im after, colour,wheels lightly modded...looks like a real good base car for future plans but that 2 week ownership bit is fooking my head up :(

Still, a cheeky bid or 3 might be on the cards, already had a little flutter anyway :lol:

I have ABS but didnt have the clutch support bracket, until of course i got mr pudney special :lol:

So we can all feel left out together now.

Oh and mine is an 1994 M plate.

Mines a 94 M, have a clutch support bracket (don't know if it from new). Stupid question time, how do I know if I have ABS, is it if I get the ABS light before starting the car?

All gtirs have abs except the rb models (think a few of those have it to)

Your car should have an abs light rather than one that says antilock (early cars)

I expect it has, just have been so busy geting it ready for the road haven't driven/noticed :(

I'm tempted to take the door cards off now to look for the side impact bars

just been out "testing" my new brakes and can feel the abs kicking in. I'm told you can take the fuse out, must search for that thread
