Default BIG MISTAKE!!!!!

Think i made a huge mistake. had a very clean white ERST s2 200bhp wanted more power and instead of spending on her to get some more power i sold it and got a pulsar gtir. All was fine for bout a month was lovin it thought it was awsome till last week i see a mint red s2 come through my town and my jaw dropped it sounded awsome must of been bout 250bhp it was quick. Now i want an RST again wat should i do???

Hard bit will be finding an RST that won't give you a world of grief.

The breakdowns, the dirty hands, the oil on the driveway, the being recovered at silly o'clock in the morning (or afternoon, evening etc etc) the toolbox & spare bits in the boot, the "shit what was that noise" or "shit what's that burning smell" comments, the overheating in stood still traffic (for 2 minutes or more) blah blah blah

The thing is that the Pulsar is heavy for one and also loses alot of its power through the 4wd transmission. You would really need 400+bhp in a Pulsar for it to be fun IMO.

However, having driven them, a 400bhp Pulsar doesn't do it for me.

Loads....


It's not an easy feat getting 300bhp from an RST. Ask Christian.

Takes alot of knowledge, and more importantly, cash
