There's nothing that you should be concerned with with a non-turbo 2g except for the door handles popping (as mentioned). However, whatever you do, don't purchase a JDMevo - they're always blowing a gasket!
What's funny is that Brandon didn't say sh*t about a non-turbo 2g. He never said they were slow, bad. garbage, crap, etc. He said that maybe two people in this forum own one.
