Awsome machines these they just look immense. Im assuming u owned a civic prior to this? Would u mind me asking How does it compare in terms of runing costs? Reliabilty and aftermarmarket parts availability?

Always fancyed replacing my civic with one but litteraly know nothing about them.

Yeah mate, check the 1st page, i owned a Jordan previously.

On the subject of running costs (my jordan didnt use high octane fuel), the S15 is like anything if you smash it everywhere then its not great, worse then the EK, but motorway cruising its better on fuel than my Ek4.

Overall id say its a bit more juicy, not by massive amounts like an EVO or anything.

Aftermarket parts are everywhere as they share the same engines as the S14 & S14a Blacktop SR20 VCT/VVT just the S15 has the uprated ball bearing GT28.

Reliability, i haven't had one single problem with mine. once you tune to 'Stage 3' (new uprated turbo ect) things start to break/wear alot more & faster. The only common fault on SR's is VVT rattle, this happens when the spray bars clog up. Change the VVT solenoid and clear the spray bars and you're off again :D

Really nice s15 you have there, like what you have done with it so far. Nice to see one a bit more oem+ Wheels go very nicely too....

The only personal dislike is that d*ildo gear knob! but they are just a pet hate of mine.

Look forward to more updates.

Thanks for the reply mate very helpfull.

+Rep for u :nice:
 
Been in this a couple of times with Liam and have to say it's awesome, especially after coming from a Jordan. :))

Gonna look sweet once the coilovers are fitted!:drool: Have seen only 2 other S15's down where I live since Liam bought his and I don't think I had ever seen one before that! Boot and roof spoilers will look wicked too btw!

The worst fault with these cars are when uprating the turbo elbow and downpipe is, gasket failure/stud failure/cracking and clearance.

Meaning what i need it a elbow and downpipe all in one, a flexi to reduce stress/strech/cracking, 3" piping to give maximum gains & great clearance.

Ordering one of these on payday, best elbow/downpipe combo made for the SR20's

Part Shop Max (PSM) Fleci Cobra Downpipe
