I also don't have to rebuild the valvetrain when I make more than 300hp - mine can take it.
In the end, I'm glad people are doing both. The more variety, a cooler car world we live in. Me, I like the KA-T. You like the SR, and that's cool too. Neither is a bad motor, and they're both cool setups. You get the JDM factor, I get a rarity factor.
It's all about the love, baby.

personally ill prolly end up turboing the ka (if i get a 240) since the cost, but i love srs since they can revv soo high, that is just awesome of a sound.
anyone know of any shops were you can get your ka rebuilt, or of a company that possibly stocks low mileage kas ? that would be very helpful for future refrecne. when i say low mileage i think 70,000 or less is low enough.
