The Kouki S14 Thread

I go to auctions almost every week, seen some mint koukis roll through there and sell for $5-6K

Just thought I share what I see everyday

See, but even 5-6k for a 14 year old car with a lot of mileage is still silly though.

Agreed....people are going absolutely insane with 240sx prices these days. I really dont see where the average person selling a 240sx gets their expected sale prices these days.

Despite how unbelievably clean that car is, unless you're leaving it stock then why waste a perfectly good car?

Exactly...why would I wanna spend that much money on a car I'm gonna mod anyways? I bought a 95 zenki, no rust, body is straight, fairly stock, I've replaced almost everything about it. Suspension has been replaced, seats replaced, front end converted to Kouki, in the middle of an RB swap, the only downside of my car right now is the damn paint. But then my situation is a lil unique since I already had all this parts from my last car. Only thing I've bought for this car that I didnt already have was the D-Max Wing and fresh tires.

Since I am in the same boat, I would buy a kouki like that at around that price range, keep it stock and clean for as long as possible until the car craps out, then go about modding it. If you want a straight project car from right out the gate, dont buy something you would feel funny modding.

Here are two blog posts, one outlining prep for the show.

you of all people should know i give a flying fuck about wheel fitment and other peoples opionions. Overfenders cover the wheels. Raising the rear makes the front lower and kills ground clerance. And stresses the front brakes more. Function>all. Again chassis is at an even height all around. So if I raise the rear the front is coming back up.

Yeah I know, you're strongly opinionated and don't like hearing peoples suggestions. If you only cared about function you wouldn't have that massive fiberglass kit, you'd have OEM bumpers for massive amounts of ground clearance...since that seems to be the only thing you consider to be 'function'. I was merely stating that I think it looks fucking retarded tucking rear wheel while not even tucking the tire up front as politely as I could...but I forgot you don't display courtesy when speaking to others. I can respect the quality and effort you put into your car and I can respect that you don't care what other people think, I just wish you weren't such a dick about it.

THANK YOU! We're all thinking it...

Om1kron is the king of terrible execution of nice parts. It's been proven time and time again, each time of which I held my breath and was thoroughly let down.

[Om1kron]

just trollin on thru! have fun guys =)

[KiLLeR2001]

Wayne T. Edwards, I think its fine. I wouldn't lower the car anymore, but I would focus on maybe mimicking the same type of flare action with the front fenders.

The meet was a blast!!! My car far right..

I believe it's a chop of Mark Arcenal's zenki when it was at that primer grey stage. Found it on some Spanish forum.

I already own a Kouki, and i'm already planning it to make it my project car.... but damn. this one is CLEAN!! soooo good! It's one of the cleanest kouki's I've ever seen O_o

Why does it not have se seats??

[xoxide]

Photoshopped, but I kind of like it... Not the primer or anything but the bumper looks kind of cool haha.

And the kouki for $8k... Has been crashed before... The radiator support has been repainted, and sprayed with clear coat... Should be flat clear like the rest of the engine bay.

I can agree with this. Some people want to bash chops, but they offer up ideas from time to time.

[Om1kron]

wasnt that the white kouki with the cs rears on all oem aero? Or was that a different car?
