I recently Ran across something I've been wanting for over two years now. and im pretty dam happy it all worked out.
Long story short, I traded My Zenki Front end for a Kouki.

I have to adjust the Bumper Support a tad more. my DS wheel is rubbing up against my bumper when i turn :/
so i have to pull it back out a tad.

Mods I've Done Since my last mini build threads?
- Nismo Extended Studs Front
- Ichiba Extended Studs Rear
- Ichiba 15mm Spacers all around
- Kouki Front End Conversion

lol guess that's about it.

Its been fun Being Zenki for 5 Years...

I prefer zenki's but I do think with a lip and sides it would definitely be (.)(.)s ... Plus it makes my Zenki just that much more rare :fistpumping:

Saleen Mustang wheels.


LOL i love my zenki.
thing is, i can put together another Zenki front end for under 500. so im not sweating it.. i plan to collect parts to have a spare zenki front end.

and zenki's are more prevalent in this area lol. Koukis are still much more rare.
remember guys, there were originally ~25,000 MORE Zenke(95-96) s14s produced than Kouki(97-98) in the US :).
tho im still one of the 30k Zenki's made, im kouki at heart.. now im kouki on the outside too!!!!!!

Awesome! Though it's going to take some time getting used to, your car flowed really well with the zenki front.

What are your tire specs? I really like the whole tire flush thing you have going on, a lot more realistic to daily drive than having the lip of the wheel next to the fender.

I used to just say I liked the zenki better than the kouki because deep down I knew the kouki looked cooler but I've learned to love my beautiful zenki and all others haha. Nice cookie though
