how to tell if the car is really a 97-98 kouki

[SlidinSideWayzSR]

what are some things that are key thing to look for other then the front end and the one im looking at is 98 thanks in advance i know its kinda a newb qestion but not to fimliar with koukis

[ViciousCesar]

i'd open the driverside door and read the big white sticker that has all the info on it.

[blackslide13]

one way is to look at the grill

[S13Joe]

^ Yeah because its impossible to change a grill.

[ANVIL]

vin plate or vin number

[Xj220gt]

easiest way would probably be to find out if its obd1 or obd2.

after that, the sticker on the door does tell you what year the car was made, I believe....

[Vladaa]

I think the 96 was also obd2

[hbpignosePA]

is this a serious question

ummm the title perhaps? provided your buying a car with a title (which is the smart way to go)

97-98 will be a "real" kouki but it might be the 20th front end on it, might be an R-title from all the dorifto kids no of days smashing them into trees

i bought my kouki based totally on pictures and his word. still worth it to this day. am i retarded?

[EfiniRX7]

If your not a retard you know what pics to ask for, and things to be checked. I have never had trouble buying a car that I did not look at in person. I bought an FC from washington state, and a 69 camaro from florida.

[driftedtofu]

I think its kinda a gamble if you do it that way. Win some/lose some I suppose.

nubba dub dubbin?

[xX RB Xx]

[S13Joe]

nubba dub dubbin?

1.0 dubs over here!

[odmoht]

the rear end...?

[roplusbee]

VIN + Carfax is a good start. But you do take a risk when you cannot actually look at the car yourself.

[s14danny]

the cluster would have squares instead of just plain black.

[tctomasc]

1.0 dubs over here!

but no 20 dub bulls*** ova here

[Dittoz7]

Srs Answer.

Look At The Gauge Cluster.The Zenki Cluster Has The 2 Circles Over Lapping, The Kouki Has Them Apart.

Yea Someone If They Wanted To Could Swap It.But It's Not Plug And Play, You Would Have To Slice And Connect Some Wire.Which Most People Fell It's Not Worth It, So They Just Leave The Zenki Cluster.

[boozy]

look at the ECU number, if it is that:

end numbers 69=zenki80= kouki

[maj Andres]

Sheeeesh.... Looks lilke this has been answered already, but.. look at the title!

[Philipio]

Man, so much misinformation for such a simple question. I'm glad the question actually got answered.
