Car runs like a champ once the lethargic battery kicks over the engine hard enough.the SR20DE is an incredibly fun engine. On the highway in top gear I can floor it without lugging the car. It just goes. Problems so far are a leaky radiator I have to put water in every ~700 mi, eBay suspension that violently bottoms out over every bump, and steering that will pull very hard to one side if I ever go full lock. I’m about to go grab my tools and try fixing that in the motel parking lot while everyone else is asleep, because having to constantly strain against that is straight-up dangerous.
In other news I’m partially deaf from an exhaust leak, but the car is getting 29mpg which is great.

Hell yeah! Very relieved to not see it on fire or in pieces. Is the temp staying under control?

Even in the sonic RS, still gutless and depressing and gets its lunch money stolen by the Ford and Fiat turbos

Well, you can’t really blame it. It’s a half engine. Me and a half engined cars have no buisness together. I am counting the days until I have a V8 once more.

1.4 turbo: 138hp/148 lb/ft
1.8 NA : 136hp/123 lb/ft
SR20DE: 140hp/132 lb/ft
Cruze weighs 3,011–3,475 lb, Sentra weighs 2,266 lb
Interesting comparison.
