Enigine is in effect the same but with mods on the ignition side, BB Turbo on the early spec R's, different ECU Mapping and Better exhaust system hence why stock for stock the s15 makes more power (250ish) and torque over a 14a (200ish).
Chassis is more refined on the 15 and again stock for stock they handle way better than an equivelant 14. To be honest tho I dont know what the differences are chassis wise bar slightly different geometry and a huge amount of extra chassis bracing to be found in the S15. Then there is the helical diff which does actually rock for normal road use compared to the 14's lsd. OK, its not much cop for Dori but as a daily drive the Helical is in a different league!!!!
And its a newer car
The thing with the S15 is you are paying for something a little bit rarer than the norm and for me that extra layout in cash was worth just to feel that you in something just a little bit special
