And now i wonder, can i put the intercooler at the front and replace that weird looking hood with stock pulsar hood. You know, to create a pretty good sleeper.

Seriously, that hood makes the car looks like it has a Tumor or something. Also, i can't believe you need a 95 octane fuel to run this baby. But i like it. I really do.

Just do your research before you buy, most have led a hard life and mechanicaly have little in common with other N13s.

I don't know if the it's an optical illusion caused by the high roofline or what but Pulsars always look "skinny" in the front.

And they always make me think of this:

Yes, it's the Isuzu I-Mark RS, Suspension by Lotus. Which has nothing to do with the Pulsar...

If anything you'd think it would remind me of the Nissan Pulsar sold in the US in the late 80's in both regular:

And in Sportsbak:

Well, this may sounds weird but i prefer to call those the Exa. Maybe because in here we got those as the Exa.

The whole car is skinny i think.

And that Isuzu, i thought the Lotus only do the Piazza..

Yeah, i've done a bit of research.

These thing is quite reliable. Although the one i found locally needs a bit of cleaning.

I knew it was sold under another name everywhere else but had no idea what the name was.

In Japan and some part of Asia it's called the Exa Canopy.

Good, it's not just me then, other people see it too. I'm still not 100% sure what it is, exactly, but something in the Pulsar's design is just.... off.

I don't think it's ugly or anything, it's just slightly out of proportion in some way that is confusing

That is the first time I have ever seen a GTi-R on steelies and by goly it looks good. Do it, change the bonnet then throw on some steelies or rally wheels.

Well, my future Pulsar looks just like that. Except it was red, but i think i'll repaint it since the paint is fading away.

Kind of looks like a Escort Cosworth. Slighty.
