kouki check in (s14)

[Amtk240]

Add stage 3 clutch and B&M shortshift and you have yourself a badass N/A car.

My Kouki already has a Nismo Clutch, Nismo Pressure Plate, Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel, Nismo Slave Cylinder, Agency Power Stainless Steel Clutch Line, and VLSD. I'm good-to-go dude! FTW!!

[SleepyHB]

nice

[SleepyHB]

well.. since I'm here let me do a lil check in myself... got home one day and tired of looking at my crack to hell bodykit so I decided to take it all off, still don't know what to do with it yet, I might throw all the OEM back on the car.. here's some pic





lots of bodywork

[k_c_b]

oem's the way to go

[J14cm7]

New Projector Headlights w/ Halos and full HID high/low conversion

I must have these lights. where the f*** did you get those. Dammit man more money

I bought them from depoautolights but DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!! They are a$$holes who never sent me a replacement for a piece that arrived broken.Buy them from Ebay instead. Again, steer clear of buying them from depoautolights because they suck and have no contact phone number and rarely ever get back to you by email and they don't care about the customer at all. Filed a complaint with BBB which didn't help. USE EBAY!!

Just sell off the ones you won't need.

why not just go with oem glass headlights??

[spooled240]

i know right? I love the OEM headlights and I love the JDM ones even more

[Persona]

OEM headlights for the win, nothing compares.

[motoman399]

that looks hot for some reason.

on the body, oem does look really good BUT a really nicely done body kit is always nice (as long as it doesnt look like its going to eat you haha) how bad are your wide quarters? and how wide were they?

as for those headlights

eww sorry but to each his own on this one lol. clean a** engine bay though. i like the strut tower bar. what did you do with the egr with that header? did you just block it off?

[SleepyHB]

well they weren't in that bad of a shape, just start showing wave I guess with sand paper and some work it can be smooth out

[spooled240]

OEM will look nice but you will have to slam it and get a front lip for the car to work with the wheel IMO (i'm sure you were gonna do that anyway)

GP sports makes OEM-inspired kits that are more aggressive, I think you should get this!

[Frank E Bones]

I would love to someday make my Kouki the white version of the Type I, wheels and all. VS-XX right?

[Persona]

Damn spooled!

Ive never seen those kits before, when I get my wheels this summer Im deff. Going to look into those!

[spooled240]

yep, VS-XX in gold..my dream wheels!

I discovered these kits like 6 months ago and had I known about these 3 years ago I probably would have tried to get those instead of the k's aero but I believe you have to ship these from japan so it's gonna cost you =/

[fiznowler]

its not much to look at yet... but i picked one up last thursday. I feel like i saved it from the idiot kid i bought it off of. More of a resto job than anything right now

That was a long and sleepy drive home after picking your car up. Mad Hatter and I picked up a parts car to use yesterday. Shame there is no title for it! Also may as well add one more kouki as down for the count this black one is getting parted out, no title and we need the parts lol. Better than getting crushed but still literally makes me sick to part it out. This interior has to be rare and it is an original se 5 lug. I am going to try and save the interior and throw it in my kouki i am pulling it tonight and taking it to the upholstry shop to see what they say about the cracked leather. Here are pics!

It's not hard to list as abandoned and apply for an abandoned title then apply for a real legit title.

unless it's stolen....

[fiznowler]

I really don't know the story on the car. The guy i bought it off of didn't know s*** about 240s and didn't know what he had. It was in a field next to about 5-10 other cars that were wrecked/broke down. Said he bought it without title a few years ago and just needed money. it was pretty obvious it had been sitting for a long time. I am not going to pursue getting a title for it. I pulled interior it isn't near as bad as i thought and after a little cleaning will be going in my car. I need to find some info on pulling the dash because it is perfect mine is cracked pretty bad. Mad hatter is going to rob some of the body parts and after we get what we want we will be parting out the rest to try and get some cash back.

my guess is somewhere on down the line someone still owes on this thing. I have a feeling thats what the deal is, esp considering the kid that we bought it off would have been like 17 when he got it. Stupid kids messing up awesome cars!

[SleepyHB]

type I is sexy! but ya right I can't find it anywhere lol and getting these ship over to the US will probably run me about 3g's... that's too much for a bodykit.

dunno what I'm gonna do yet, but will keep you guys posted...

[J14cm7]

i am guilty of not doing research on this but can you do a hid projector with OEM headlights? Actually now that i really look at them they are just like the ones i have now but with halos, which i hate by the way haha. I thought originally they were more OEMish...

Well hook a nigga up with the door panels.

Carbon fiber isnt cheap lol and neither was the aerocatches. But if you're drifting you don't want it cause youre eventually gonna smash your s***.
