will let him know your interested and see what he says if your doing that in a Pulsar then forget about buying a performance car or you'll no doubt have to replace brakes, tyres, clutches every 3 months too from your driving style! the gearbox problem is really over-hyped, i'm not saying it dosn't happen... but don't subarus have chocolate pistons? and french cars have tinfoil pannels.. and italian cars have bad electrics.... don't belive everything you read on forums mate, most people who post have little or no experience on what they are talking about.... like when i had a 16yr old tell me not to buy a GT because they always go pop because a 1.3 can't safely handly boost! also if your thinking that a evo is going to be any less then a Pulsar to run then you might want to re-think getting one, and thats coming from someone that has not eaten for a few days to afford running costs when times were hard a few months back! +1, sometimes i miss my starlet, usually every 6months when the service for the evo comes round!
