TONS of maintenance while I had it out.

Hated my first ka-de car, went s13 sr at first.


Blew up my s13 SR at lime rock (I put 2 bad ones together to make a running one) but it had a brand new s15 turbo on it, a good clutch, etc etc.
I had a hell of a time finding a reliable s13 sr long block, so I called around and asked a few importers what they had. One of them had an s15 sr without a trans or turbo, so I jumped on it. I will never go back to s13 sr or ka.

I would not consider going ka-t, because I can get s14/s15 sr20's for far cheaper, install/run one with far less hassle, far less money and headache. I can also hit a reliable 300 whp with very little effort.

If I were to replace my s15 sr, I would put in another s14/15 sr. I use it to go to work, get groceries, bring the dog to the park, road racing, drifting, apartment hunting etc. I want to try my hand at a hill climb this season (street prepared class with hill-climb.org). This is my personal street car, I don't feel the need to go nuts building it. Just reliability/drivability upgrades and lots of preventative maintenance. The VTC allows for very good street manners. I don't have to rev the piss out of it to get around town, has excellent throttle response and a fat, useable power band.




If I decided to try and compete again, would look at a more modern chassis (i.e. z33, maybe an e46) to build into my LS powered competition car.
