If you know where to look youll find the aftermarket support isnt as bad as one would think. not half as plentiful as the SR, but a decent showing for an engine that is at best 15 years old.

He beat alot of people with it, mainly Honda's, and it lasted for about 3 months. It was worse than a diesel, with the smoke. HAhahah

seems like the ca18det is a decent motor. i havent seen many around here. mainly sr's. i do agree tho, sr20's are like b16 civics now-a-days.

Plus, it costs less.
