I posted this on NE.com so i may as well let you guys in on all the fun! I will get them all up here for your viewing/reading pleasure
I have been collecting as many 80's magazines with articles of Exas and ET's.
Here we go!
Modern Motor, March 1984
This one is a HUGE comparison of "10 of Australias fast affordables"
Comparison includes:
Mitsi Starion Turbo
Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV6
BMW 323i
Holden Commodore SS
Nissan Pulsar EXA Turbo
Mazda RX7
Nissan 280ZX
Toyota Supra
Ford Fairmont Ghia
Saab 900 Turbo
By far the best bit of the magazine is this part! Info in the N12 cabrio
Here is the article anyway...
Wheels magazine, November 1983, page 54, Titled 'Spider Possibilities' wrote:
Davia bently, Alpha-phile, believes anything is possible from the Nissan-Alfa connection and has penned this version of the Pulsar EXA Spider as a very real alternative to the sedans already offered.
Bentley's idea fpr a Alfa Spider version of the EXA - the Pulsar/ARNA - uses the coupe's panels below the wasteline and even the same windscreen. Only the neat Alfa style grille has been added to give the car some marque identification. Obviously it could be sold as either an Alfa or Nissan. Open car certainly looks purpose built, lacks the sharply cut-off tail of the EXA coupe that makes it so awkward in appearance. Roll bar is intended to give the body some aditional rigidity, allows for wind-up side windows.
With most of the world's car makers looking at the convertable market - and some have already dived head first in - and Alfa's tradition interested in the scene the possibility of an ARNA Spider becomes very real . . .
For those who donk know, Alfa made some of the Pulsars up as Alfas, i guess they were called the Alfa ARNA... (just incase the ARNA bits in the article got u stumped)
has anyone got the article for BIGPSI Et with the rollcage i remember it and ill have it somewhere but all my mags are packed away also theres a mag article witha white ET with black windows and 5 spoke 15in rism in an old Fast fours as welllike 92-94 or something like that
