There's not really much left to be made for the SR20DE is there? I know the 98+ guys really need Jim Wolf to take care of the ECU, but for the most part we really don't need to many more parts developed IMO. While the Honda guys have TONS of parts availiable, the majority of their parts are crap. The SE-R communitiy is very lucky that the things we have to choose from are of the highest quality.

It may sound strange, but us SE-R folk aren't the only guys feeling a little down about becoming extinct. If you pay attention to any Honda board, you'll know the Honda guys are really down regarding the new Si. Basicly, it's ugly and its slow. If it had impressive performance then the ugliness would hurt less, but it doesn't have specs that come anywhere close to the new SE-R, Celica GTS, or SVT Focus. So that is now the future of their touted Sis, a slow ugly car.

At least we have a sucessor that will really be a fun as hell car, something that will broaden closed minds. The SR20DE is well respected by the other camps, I'm glad the new SE-R will continue that tradition.

Well you have to look at it this way, Everyone is right that the SR20de has been out forever but our motor is slightly different for the past ones so all the parts already out there just have to be modified slightly to fit. I have talked to Hotshot and they said with slight modifcationm their headers will fit our motors, for all i know it could be modfication to the body. same with palce racing the intake that they sell for out cars is just a modified 200sx SE-R one.
Now onto the new SE-R. This is a new motor with no aftermarket what so ever. It will be many months before they come out with aftermarket parts for it. Would rather spend 15Gs on an SE and run mid 15s or 19Gs on an SE-R and run high 14s, when you could take that extra 4Gs you saved and invest in a turbo and run 13s and be able to say you have a turbo on a 4-door family sedan and run 13s. Much more respect is given to our cars when they run fast, The SE-R came out as a perforance specific car, our cars are multifunctional and do everything. My adivce stick with the SE after market will come, already many companies have things for our cars that are unknown, such as H&R they have a spring kit for out car i didn't even know that till i ordered my sportline kit. SEs are better then SE-R bottom line

By no means will the SE aftermarket be dead after the SE-R comes out. The SR20DE engine has been around for too long and is too good to let it die. The new QR25 motor from the SER is not very tunable at all cuz of all the computer controls on the emissions and crap like that.

Also, from a suspension and bodykit standpoint, both cars are the same so if anything, the SE's will benefit from the introduction of the SE-R. Let me tell you something, I'd rather have an SE with a Turbo over an SE-R any day. Also, don't say that the SE-R will be good with a Turbo cuz noone has even started to do any R&D with that. The QR motor is a very big 4 cylinder and has a lot of drawbacks in terms of modding. Sport Compact Car even said that the Q series motor doesn't respond to mods very well. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


I think you hit it right on the money!!!!!

I'm not sure about you all, but I definitely didn't plan on my car being a drag car. More importantly, it's for a fun daily driver. The current mods that I have is enough to make me smile going to the grocery store.

The SR20DE has it's history, and it'll never just be wiped away by some new QR series engine. I'm hoping for the ECU, and maybe cams, and that's it. In four years after I have paid my SE off, I'll look into something that is going to start off 200+Hp's already. We'll all grow out of the car and see something nicer to your current tastes, does everyone agree kinda?

You all definitely enjoy the ride, you know I am.
