What's the differece between EXA and Pulsar

[xja888]

Are they all the same as they all have E15ET?

[85EXABOY]

apart from looks the exa has drums at the rear.

ill compare the et and the 85 updated exa..

exa hsa bigger front sway bar (24mm)
has the black and blue interior (better)
bigger front brakes.
rear tail lights

im sure there are other differences.

exas a tiny bit lighter and the "sports" version of the et :)

does anyone know if the sway bar on the 87-90 pulsar nx is really bigger then on the new acura integras? someone told me this and i was pretty pysched because the pulsar does have really good handling for it being as old as it is and all:D

just because a sway bar is thicker doesnt mean its better.
Its properties come from its shape and the properties of the material used, its carbon and silicon content, how it is heat treated etc.
i could have a 50mm sway bar, and the car could be more sloppy than having a 10mm sway bar.

hmm...guess thats true but i still have to say the pulsar does have really good handling even for it being as old as it is..:thumbsup:

in fact after doing alot of stuff with materials at uni id say one of the most important things is what its made of

some materials are alot better than others in some situations and with all the new materials we have now a thinner or smaller sway bar made out of the right material would probably be alot better than one on an older car as they didnt have the materials or machining processes we have now

just out of interest dude, what do u study??

im doing mechatronic engineering, its mechanical, electrical and computer engineering in one degree.

maybe we are doing similar degrees

[crazyexa]

well thats freaky

cause that is exactly what i was doing ( i quit in march, i loved the course material but didnt want to study full time)

now i start a job in 2 weeks doing electrical drafting and then once i have finished the trineeship in that the company is paying for me to go back to uni part time and do engineering

very tough course indeed, i just had a year off myself.

going back is going to be hard, but i love the course, well i love the prac side, damn i hate study!
