This car was originally purchased as a driver with a bad head gasket on the factory 2.5 NA engine. It was completely gutted and stripped down for a thorough restoration and drivetrain upgrade. A wrecked 2002 WRX was acquired as a donor car for the complete engine/drivetrain conversion. The end result is a classy looking second generation Legacy with a factory backed power boost with an emphasis on reliability and usable every day comfort. From it's rebuilt heads to it's brand new OEM shortblock with 1 year factory warranty, this car's powertrain should be ready for years of reliable daily driver duty.

Kent -- Yet again, a very different and clean build.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Kent in Az for some Galant VR4 parts and I can say he is great guy to deal with. Also knows his stuff better than most.

Good luck with the sale Kent.

haha I have been trying to resist the cars of my youth for more than 20 years now and damn its always hard to resist, its original RHD jdm YO!

sorry couldnt resist the jdm lingo- Im older than I write, kinda fun but this is adult owned and driven albeit very short distance

JAKE: I'll ship this to you if you want it, I'll trade you your broke a@# mitsu

LHD pulsar are uber rare as I have heard that there were only literally a few 100's imported to the UK and then they were canned in 1994, so getting a LHD pulsar is ultra(man) rare although it can be converted albeit with a similar chassis nissan like the 91-94 nissan sentra se-r, I thought about doing that so the cops wouldnt give me more looks at the car

BTW: GREAT real world build without compromises, I just love it weather its a subaru or mitsu or for that matter hyundai genesis coupe!

I just got the car tuned with the new engine. It's surprisingly quick considering how relatively stock it is.


And Yes, CCW Classics make everything more gooder... especially when they are super wide and wrapped in 335mm slicks... I can't wait.
