All good cars but a nice evo 6 would do me as I have had a grey pulsar and all my mates have scoobies.

EVO. Everyone has a scooby

Pulsars are stupidly quick though! Brakes and gearboxes have a habit of breaking though

Brakes don't brake in the sense that they once worked and now do not, they just don't work from new

pulsars are as fast as evos and scoobies.

I had a pulsar with mild mods running 1.1 bar and it was pretty rapid.

as Rab said the brakes are shit and you have to be gentle on the box as in any 4x4 really.

So even if you put big brakes under the wheels the brakes would still be shite ??

Actually I would say that a standard Pulsar with aftermarket discs and pads will be fine for regular use. As long as you don't expect to stop on a penny you'll be fine.

Skyline of the R32 GTR variety for me.

I thought the Pulsar was shite imo. Don't get me wrong, it's a quick bit of kit but you've got to remember that ultimately its an early 90's Jap box.

My mate broke his serveral times too!

I would have the evo 6 or a scooby P1. I'm not a big fan of Subarus but love how the P1 looks.
