It was made of fiberglass, and it didn't flex worth anything (so it had one big gap along the bumper). It was also very weak, and poorly molded (a lot of imperfections).

Granted, I guess all that is easy to fix since it's fiberglass. But for the cost, it shouldn't have been so poorly made.

Thanks guys,

They're not garages, they were some show jumping equipment for the local stables!

I think the skirts are by a company called Ziax. They look a bit like R33 GTR skirts.

The roads themselves are pretty good. Theres some awesome country roads, and they're all (generally) in good condition. Its when you go into the residential areas that you start getting serious speedbump problems, so we can't really wind our coilovers down too low.

We get some cool stuff over here (factory equipped CA18s for S13s, and SR20s for S14s ), but you guys generally have much better aftermarket support and choice than we do.

^ same here for the most part, but some freeways are just borderline ridiculous to be driven on with coilovers. I'd say if your car can clear 2.5" then you can just about go over any speedbump..I scrape my exhaust on some of these bumps

most recent pic CTR photography took of my kouki:

Way out of my budget! I'm not sure of exact costs, but if you're looking for a UK based supplier, I've got a friend that can supply Work wheels. Drop him an email at: sales [at] knight-racer.co.uk

Tell him Quail sent you his way .

Edit: They're Work Varianza S4S btw

Not sure if I'm breaking any rules with that post, so feel free to delete mods

i dont think the cut off is a major difference from the usdm ones. i have a pair from uk they look just like the ones above but i have never fired them up. also have a pair of zenki silvia headlights, but also never ran them lol

No one really flashes as I don't live in the US and we drive on the left.

It's the Kouki S14. It's called the S14B

The zenki is called the S14A

Found that out a couple years back on an Australian forum.
