I got my 240 project underway and i need a second car. I was looking at a 99+ g20. Few questions. What engine does it have? Does it have a good life like my trusty k24de running on 164k? What else should i need to know about these cars before i buy? any pros or cons?Thanx

SR20DE 2.0L I4, about 145hp.Impeccable reviews and reliability ratings.

It is said that there is a bit too much tire and engine noise. There may be issues with early transmission failure if the cooler gets clogged. Sounds like a good opportunity to flush the transmission and upgrade to a larger cooler anyway.

Oh, and what driverdriver said.

The 99 has 140hp, the 00+ have the roller rocker engine with 145hp. The G20s are great cars known for their reliability. There are plenty of g20 owners on http://www.g20.net with cars way above the 164k mark still running strong. Great buy...
