    they are not bad. just old and heavier than a stock KA, which in theory screws up the handling (sr20 is 100lbs lighter than KA; ca18 is 144lbs lighter). and they have 6 cyl yet make less torque than a sr20. and when u upgrade the injectors u have to buy 6 instead of 4. best bang for the buck though if u want to stay below 250hp.

    4 doors are ghey, go start a family to match your car.
