for that kind of monney you should find a good un.
my opinion is if you want rawness go for the gtir, thats the thing that sets it apart from the other 2 for me

Nothing at all, They are all good cars in their own right.
Depends what you want really want and which you like the look of, The EVO would be the easiest to live with I'd of thought, If you want a really good pulsar then buy the one in the for sale for 6.5k now that is a really well sorted car and would save 1000's in the long run.

i agree with odin, that is one very nice car indeedy. its a lot of money but has been lavished with attention and pampered like a puppy!
but if your a bit skint and have been saving long and hard to get that 5k then i would go for the evo over a gtir, as it will be more reliable and you wont find it so hard to sell if you ever want shot of it!
the gtir is more of a fanatics car, that people pump a lot of money into to mod etc and people buy them because there not mainstream and are different from anything else on the market today!
so if you fit the above paragraph then go for the R, if you dont, then get the evo!
take my advice though and steer clear of the scoobys, they are or have become the 2007 version of the xr3i
they in turn will devalue very quickly!

I agree. If you want something a bit different and can affort it, get an R. If you spend a bit more on a good modded car then you will save alot of money in the long run unless you want to put your own stamp on it and modify it over time when you have money then you could buy a cheaper standard R.pulsarboby said:
The R that's for sale now for £6.5K may seem expensive but given the amout of time and money that has gone into producing such a spec, it's a real bargain!

6.5k just sounds like a lot of money for what at the end of the day is an old car!
its like selling a house in a street, and exceeding the selling price by miles of that particular street!
doesnt matter if you have gold taps fitted plasma tvs etc etc the house will still have a set top value, no matter what you do to it.
however after saying that, and taking in the condition of that car, and the attention lavished upon it, i would say its a fair price (not cheap not expensive).
even though it has had thousands spent on it in the past, but it would cost a lot more to build a car to that spec from scratch, so theres two ways of looking at it:?
if i were in the market to buy one of these cars now then that would be the one i would buy, as i know the bloke whos selling it is a perfectionist.
i remember a thread a while back regarding some seat rails he wanted, and i posted 'make them yourself'
his reply was 'im not that skilled with metalwork' and i want the job done to a high standard!!!
that tells you a lot about him straight away, bet that cars a right minter;-)

if it was me it would be a toss up between the evo III and the gti-R - all it comes down to between them is a difference in taste. the evo will probably be seen as a bit more reliable, although ive never had any major issues with any of the 5 pulsars ive owned over the years.
with the R you'll have the element of surprise when it comes down to spanking expensive motors (which is lots of fun!), and theres huge scope for development here. as for the evo, well its all been done over and over again on the MLR, you will just blend into the crowd.
depends what you want really -
what do you want from a car?

Also don't forget the EVO 3 ended up as a Proton :shock: :doh: , Just Imagine how bad you'd feel pulling up at the lights next to a car that looks exactly the same, Only with a Proton badge on the boot :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .
Oh the shame of it :lol: :lol: :lol:.

well ive had a couple of big spec Rs now and a 500bhp plus evo and the evo was a better car i have to say the handling is incredible as standard and things like the front mount etc also make it cheaper for basic mods
the engines are the only let down as standard on the evos, its all about the rods the gtir's are like bricks and very strong then u see a piddly little evo rod thats waiting to jump out the block
the gtir also has better cams as standard
once u start modding the pair the big thorn is the gtir gearbox where the evo's is alot better built as they use a support on the main shaft to stop any movement etc and many 10 second evos have run standard box's
for working on, the evo is also alot easier a clutch is a 3-4 hour job if all goes smoothly we all know what a bitch the gtir clutch is and getting round the engine is alot easier due to more space
horses for courses really drive both you will see an evo is very good handling wise and does rev well
the gtir will probably fell quicker and launches very well
there both cars that will sap money from you ultimately so get your wallet ready

stop smoking the drugs rob the e3 is a nmuch better looking car than the pulsar. in standard form it will spank the balls off the r. the e3 will stay neck and neck with a 1bar gtir.
both have shite brakes but when it comes to cornering the evo will win hands down20-30mhp quicker in the bends no bother, couldnt say nextor near my bros e3 down the twistes and my old r had full coilovers.
e3 much better cars but i love the r
