LOL! Braden, thanks for the shout out on built proper. Yes, it is. I’ve lost so much interest in the car, and it shows how ever. Best car on SON? For sure, it is NOT. SR’s are for the trendy and cheap. Any one can swap that shit. SO much support for SR’s. Man up and do something different. Not that anything is different now a days, but if you have a brain, you understand what I’m saying. Now Bing, I remember you beggin me to rev the shit out of my RB20 at your meet 2 years ago…Ban? SR’s suck fuckin shit. Rocker arm, timing chain vs timing chain, NO rockers. RB more power out of stock engine. L4 vs L6 \< end Edit - should have said. RB20’s with bolt ons hold more power than SR’s with bolt ons. ---

RB20s are garbage. Anyone who has done both a RB20 and SR20 knows that I’m talking about. In theory, yes it is better due to its head design and short stroke, but in practice, the SR gives much better results. - RB comes with a shitty ceramic turbo - RB is long and heavy, which noticeably makes the car understeer more - the RB looks so homo with the factory intake mani - people think that only the 26 has oil starvation issues, but 20s do as well. Bolt on some wide R comps and go to Mosport GP and you’ll see - Gay timing belt - the RB is an older engine design, and is less reliable - takes years to get up to temp The only benefits of the RB20 is that its cheaper, has a factory T3 mani, has top feed injectors and sounds dope. ---

There are no and have never been any long term high profile, highly competitive CA’s or RB20’s in Southern Ontario ever… to the best of my knowledge. No mega dyno queens, not serious drift cars… Briggs, Sasha, Dan, Me, all the S1DC guys, all the GTA guys that i’ve ever known, all the customer cars i’ve seen come and go… anything fast and awesome was SR 80% of the time and KA-T the rest of the time… ‘different’ is less important than fast, reliable, economical, efficient, easy… i build cars to drive them, not to fix them all the time and be frustrated with parts availability, lack of support, information etc. etc. 🙂 hence my on-going joke about how RB’s and Ca’s suck. in all of my conversations with Dan about his experiences with tuning every RB26 he’s seen was on motor 2,3,4 or more… ---
