The reasons I've thought about getting an sr20:
My Ka has about 75k miles on it now.
I won't have money for a turbo or swap for a couple of years.
If I am correct (let me know if I'm wrong), most imported sr20's have some where around 40k miles on them.
Therefore, for only a few thousand (not that a few K is nothing, but...) more, I can get a turboed engine with 40k instead of over 100k miles on it.
My KA simply won't be up to running more than a small amount of boost by the time I can afford a turbo, with out rebuilding the motor (more $$).
This is not conclusive, I haven't even decided yet, but this is one reason.
Oh, and call me stupid or ricey, or whatever, but I like the idea of having the motor that some of the best drift cars in the world run. Its a very popular engine, and it must be for a reason. Although I'm not about to venture a guess on those reasons for fear of stating an inaccurate fact. (J/K - but seriously though, lighten up guys, were just chatting about cars and engines, not political issues.) <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
