Taxed the R today

Oh my god i've missed driving my pulsar .
The power is so raw compared to my standard evo .
The evo is 276bhp and my R is 330bhp i know 55bhp is alot of difference in power .But the difference in power delivery is unreal ,
Id forgotten why i love my R but now i remember

Glad you didn't sell it now then?
I haven't owned anything else similar to the R so couldn't compare power and delivery etc

I never advertised it .  Was just thinking about selling it .

I am certain now it won't be sold .
I'll still buy my landcruiser i'll just have to persuade my mrs that we need 6 cars


The evo delivers it's power so smoothly compared to my R power is pretty constant throughout the rev range . You do get a little kick at about 3500rpm
But not as much of a kick as my R gives you

Mines back on the road tomorrow, can't wait. And the 1st place it's going is round to Hardy172cup's to strip bits off and put them on his to see if we can find his fault

Yeah know what your saying about the power delivery, I find that with the Scooby, its a smooth type of power delivery, with my R it kicks you back in the seat and sounds angry!  

My mates got a scooby and the power delivery is so different to the R, it's a very smooth delivery and doesn't seem as savage as the R, I will say though I like how the scooby boxer engines seem to pull through the rev range.

I do feel though that in a tight close circuit twisty situation were you keep constantly accelerating and braking so to speak the R would thrapse his scooby

Sorry buddy, you haven't had it on the road 2 minuets and I'm ready to start removing bits off it   
I'm quite looking forward to seeing you car up close, it looks mint on the pics and it looked well when I had a nosy down your drive when I went past

Yeah your right Bill, it is a smooth delivery, my Scooby has had a re-map too, but to me it doesnt feel as quick, but the Pod times are very close   Maybe I will get Rich to bring the Scooby to the Jap show and I will line up against him    Show him who's boss!

If you do you should try and get a video of it

Yeah always good to have evidence!! the Scooby needs a clutch, when it was run at the Jap Show last year it slipped quite badly, so I got one, but just needs to find its way in!  

my R will be back on the road at the end of april so should be fun as well, i still need to put a new clutch for in it but should be interesting to go in it for the first time (i bought the car as a non runner)

i drove a subaru sti 5 ra and that had similar power delivery to the gtir and the mazda 323 gtr i had was very similar

My R is only boosting at 0.9 bar at the mo .
So not like its running loads of boost
