After what seemed to be the longest week ever. I finally got my S15 today, Wow is all i can say.
This thing is so quick. Currently on 1 bar boost and it feels plenty. Around 300-310hp from what I've been told. Boost comes in quick, no lag and strong. Wide power band from around 4k to 6.5k. Lovely tone from the exhaust. Backend predictably has already come out a few times, but I was prepared for it. Even if it did make my hairs stand on end...
Car does have a few problems though. Strange ticking sound from boost solenoid. Even when i turn the boost controller off its still ticking from the solenoid. I have a Greddy Profec. The handling feels weird and unstable, trackings out for certain and the car is very high at the rear end.
Also, I noticed the power steering fluid was boiling when I checked the oil? Obviously this is not normal.....
Brakes are poor imo. Discs have a lip on them, and i might change the fluid as well to 5.1. Do the S14 brake discs fit this car?
The japanese dvd monitor gives me a headache, no idea how to control it but apparantely it can pick up japanese tv, does this mean it can pick up uk tv? Oh and it swalloed one of my dvds already
All small problems........ but I love the car. It really is a very quick motor. I didn't think the difference would be this big coming from a 200hp front wheel drive motor but it is.
