Audio:

Phoenix Gold tantrum amp
Resonant Engineering 12" subwoofer with custom box so it sits out of the way to the side. Huge space saver.
FYI: 4 times over the last year drivers speaker has reduced power. Fixes itself before I can diagnose. The 1 time it lasted long enough I tested as far as it's not the speaker before it fixed itself. So either the amp, wiring, or deck may need to be replaced in the near future.
2 way pager alarm
custom stealth install with trunk release, tilt, extra disable (will describe in detail with the next owner)
35% Johnson Executive window tint. It's legal and has lifetime warranty

There's probably more I forgot, will update as I remember or questions get asked. If the post is still up then the car hasn't been sold. No trades needed, not parting out. Please no low ball offers, not in a rush to sell, willing to hold it indefinitely.
I've never taken it to the track. My daily driver (mostly freeway miles). Previous owner took it to the 1/4 mile a few times. As far as I know it's never been drifted. Great condition car, very clean. Not burning oil, nothing wrong that I'm aware of. Based on mileage would expect a rebuild in the near future but I've been thinking that for that last 2 years.

Should be asking for more than $13,500 man, atleast don't let it go for less than that at the LEAST. Beautiful car, GLWS. And wow, OEM se seats. Been looking for a set for over a year and a half.

[Pblesh85]

Seriously I would not budge on this for a dime less than 15k.

Don't sell to the damn fan boi club, or listen to (needs more aero, bigger wheels, cheaper...).

[2forty]

Free bump for real HIDs. Got sc430s in my daily.

[Dreefter]

Mother of God

[Hoffman5982]

This is seriously worth every penny and then some.

[dionkouki]

Thanks. I agree that this is worth a lot more. I expect to see it on Mecum auto auctions someday if it doesn't get wrecked. Unfortunately with the mileage on it and cost of future engine rebuild I don't think I could expect to get much more than this.

2forty: Dang, how'd you get sc430's in there? Different car? I had to remove the bixenon solenoid and do a lot of trimming to the projector and the housing interior.

[MJenkins1101]

I'm looking for a clean Kouki S14, but yours a bit more than what I'd like to spend. However, she is worth every penny. GLWS that is one beautiful car.

[Cortius017]

Friednly bump should be asking more

[Jnolez]

Still for sale? Washington the state correct?

[dionkouki]

Still for sale. Yeah Washington state. Puyallup/Tacoma area.

[SoundEfx]

May this gem live on forever in WA.

Good luck pimp.

[Philthese93]

Simply beautiful. Ughh new owner please do not drift it into a wall

[haulksmash]

out of my budget & out of state =\

so want.... GLWS!

[Sforteen]

Nice car, looks like its well put together i like the turbo choice.. I bet its a blast.

You shouldnt have any problem selling that... From another WA kouki owner to another GLWS!! Dont let it go any cheaper!!

[Krysune]

Amazing car man! It's nice to see a clean Kouki!

SAVE THE KOUKIS

[Slideways74]

Love the car. I know Doug and Eric pretty well at UP Garage, so I know the tune on the car is good. They do great work.

Does it have A/C?

[dionkouki]

Thanks for all compliments.

It does have A/C. I don't run it very often, mostly in winter for defrosting purposes. During heat waves where your want the AC I don't use it because the engine temps are also running hotter. I'm prob being overly cautious because the factory temp gauge is saying it's still within a normal range but the apexi unit sensor reads in the mid 90 deg Celsius. One of those cases of too much info. I'll even pop the hood when I get home to cool it off.

[Iwannabuys14]

I'm pm you dionkouki

[greyZ]

Any interest in trading for a 2007 350z with fully done suspension stock motor, or a 2007 Mustang GT fully done suspension stock motor? Just throwing it out there.

[dionkouki]

Thanks for the offer but if I were looking for a car with little to no back seat I'd stick with the kouki. Fits me like a glove. I'm now driving a larger 4 door sedan that can handle child seats better.

[Slideways74]

PM sent with offer

[e1_griego]

^oh lol!

Getting back in the game?

[Slideways74]

I'm trying to save a car from falling into the hands of a kid who is gonna crash it, lol.
