out of the 3 ka's i have ever owned and daily driven, none have had a issue mechanically besides high mileage...

 

My 200k sohc ka never had an issue, well my filter did keep getting dirty

 

KA wiring is fkn cake. i hope youre not serious. and y do you hate sr? you could take the money you will be putting into a 2j or rb, vq is outta the question if ka wiring is hard for you, and build a really reliable and fast sr. or just build your KA into KA-T the right way and be baller. if you really want reliablitily, and power do an LSX. 2j is not the way for you, and rb wiring is going to make you re-think your religion if you thought ka is tough. take it to a shop, or do an easy swap.
