Hi people,

Im new to this site :wave:. Thought I would join as I want to buy a S15.

I have never really looked into them but have always loved the look of them. I have owned e36 bmw`s fot the last 5 years and now its time to move on and a S15 is the only car I want.

Anway I'm after advise into what things to look out for and common issues/faults. I know I want the spec-R.

Any help and suggestions would be appretiated

Thanks

Welcome to the site :wave: There are plenty of clean ones around but also a fair few ones that could have done with a bit more tlc! If you're not mechanically minded bring someone who is, preferably someone who knows s-bodies, and keep an eye out for rust & crash damage...

Mine was not an R so I don't know about any specific issues with the R but listen for VVT rattle on cold start up which is a common issue - not terminal or even an expensive fix just something to be aware of.
