So as many have guessed, picked up a 2002 S15 Spec S in pearl white!
Always wanted one and was very close to getting one before my DC5S.
After I sold the DC5, bought myself another Honda as a daily driver but mainly to stop myself from rushing into buying something I'd regret.
Was mainly looking to get a 350z but alas I always found myself looking up s15s.
Bit the bullet and went ahead with a nice clean Aus spec.
Current Mod List:
- Some unknown pod (Can anyone enlighten me?)
- Hollandia sunroof
- Blitz DDT (turbo timer and boost meter)
Initial impression in comparison to DC5 (after 1 drive):
- Interior feels a lot more cramped especially the space between yourself and the door.
- Rear seating is pretty much non-existent
- Turning circle on S15 feels a lot smaller
- 1st gear feels just as eager as the k20a but 2nd gear and onwards there is a slight hesitation for the engine to pick up
- Boost vs Vtec? To be honest, in stock form they felt as fast as each other. Was expecting the S15 to be quiet in comparison but to my surprise I very much enjoyed it with the throttle planted.
- Steering the DC5 felt a bit more taut and responsive but that might have something to do with my current alignment and tyres
First things I'll probably address is getting a sound system in as the head unit is broken. Will also look into getting a major service done. After that I'll go for coils, set of wheels and whatever else I can find!
Okay enough talking.
Pictures of the stock thing. Forgive the many shots, I always find it interesting to see before and afters!
