I think you should think about suspension before even considering an SR.... esp since you only have 119k on the ka..

Local guy bought an R32 GTR from Tiger. Like, the whole car. They're located 4 hours away from here. An hour away from home he spun a bearing and had to rebuild the motor. Similar tiger horror stories are floating around.

Don't bother with Tiger Japanese, I tried cancelling my order and they wanted to charge me a restocking fee that was I think 5-20% of the orders cost, they said on a Monday they had the entire engine and harness ecu ready to go then that Friday I call and they say oh yeah we don't have the harness or ecu but will still charge you for it, then after a few days I finally hassled the right guy for my refund.F*ck Tiger Japanese

Like this? 
Offroading is fun. I agree with Adrian, get suspension before you worry about making more power.

I've had nothing but good service from them. Incredibly fast shipping, and my redtop was immaculate. Every company... EVERY company... has it's ups and downs. Yes, there are tales of bad stuff happening and if you check the BBB you'll see unresolved stuff. (thats also because people have something broken that is explicitly NOT under warranty but they still file a report), but if you google you'll also read great reviews. Clean Business:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD0nz4FitFE Good Feedback:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ebaym...s=200 Ignore hear-say, thats all I can tell you. You'll see a bunch of "my buddy bought from there...." or "I heard......" Take into consideration only PROOF that THEY bought and reviewed the product, not a friend
 Curious?

I would suggest buying suspension first as well but if your gonna go ahead and get an SR I would recommend you buy from one of the sponsors on NICO. At least if something goes wrong they will be held to higher standards because they advertise on NICO, and the NICO staff can do more things to help you out in case anything goes wrong.

Tiger, has some good reviews here and there...but most of it is bad. IMO dont deal with them and go with a company that is more reputable.
