They are great little cars but finding a good one isnt easy, shell rusts rather easily.
The orange one as mentioned above is for sale, its a stunning car but a little pricey, think he was after 6k.
Rich sold that red 180bhp one for 1k 
He sold it for a grand? I would of had that off him. when did he sell it Stu?

Along that line jr, my friend had a r5 turbo with 170 ish bhp was reasonably reliable, sold that and bought a pulsar!
Within 6 months he had 3k of bills for repairs on the pulsar

ive spoken to Martin a few times and was there when he got spanked last year at weston wheels. His car is mint and i know its for sale, i just think the price is a little on the high side. Stunning car, i love Ut's but i wouldnt pay what he wants. The baby blue one is better imo

Infact you have me wrong mate, im not a jap man... infact im not a turbo man.. Its N/A all the way for me, hence why my circle of mates own V engined cars 410BHP Monaro with no turbo ... and is not jap, im not a big fan of jap at all...
So what ever stereotype you have of me of being a rice racer is wrong...
I simply said dont buy something sh1t like a fiat uno... at the end of the day its a fiat uno...so wot if it has a turbo on... i'd prefer something that people would look at an say "thats quick" and something that was more set up for the power the Nissan pulsar popped into my head as it was a simlar size and oldskool look but with 4WD and is bound to be more reliable IMO than a fiat... even if pulsars are unreliable i bet they are stronger and set up better for the power they have....
If you know of unreliable Pulsars it means jack as they have probably had the balls tuned off them and been ragged the fcuk out of by boy racers

Agreed JR you were a little quick to judge imo. I get the impression you love old school cars mainly which is obv up to you but they are not the be all and end all (E.g. Uno turbo's, s1 rst's mk2's etc) I like a whole range of cars inlcuding imprezza's and mk2's but the fact of the matter is a fiat uno turbo is not meant to handle 180 bhp it's to fragile and is not gonna stand up well in a crash

I just hate it when people think i know fcuk all about cars... im a through and through petrol head The only thing i personally would buy a Uno for is to be a good 1/4 sleeper... it would look w4nk then put down a good time which would be a grin ... they would be a good sleeper but i would still prefer to be in something else more sturdy on the roads... (Take Mavs recent incident for example) they do nothing for me look wise, i appreciate its fast but so is a motorbike....

Pulsars are just as unreliable, in fact any car is unreliable if it isnt looked after. Who cares, yeah its not the safest, yeah it aint the best looking car. Unless you have driven a tuned one (both me and jr have driven the red one) you just will not understand what its about. They are good, fun cars to drive and handle very well considering they are FWD and 15 odd years old. That red uno was running 180bhp for well over a year without any problems and believe me it got driven hard.
Im still trying to find that red one again to buy it, thats how much i loved it. James didnt like them til he drove it, now he likes em.
