It's nothing special like some of the builds going on in the forum right now but Im proud of it.

Diamond Lock Lip I hadn't cleaned the interior when I took the pictures so mind the dust

dont let the pictures fool you. theres spots on the hood where clearcoat is starting to go, and also plenty of rock chips. I figure within the next year its going to get pretty bad and then Im going to either repaint it the same color or black(not flat). I cant decide which I like better. Thanks for looking

Your red looks really nice...and i think you make the interior sound more dirty than it actually does because it looks pretty mint in the pic...oh yeah and +1 for that you should stick to the stock paint...

no its always been red. I bought it from a guy in atlanta. I remember a kid around my town with a white zenki about 5 or 6 years ago. lol I thought it was an ugly car and said I would never drive one of those.

yes they are. I hate my self for ever thinking they weren't. Theyre the only cars I prefer to have oem aero. I love the aggressive look of koukis but they were a little out of my price range

I love the car and you should be proud its not easy to keep it that clean. And be happy you go a zenki cuz the kouki wasn't out of my price range I just love the curvy look.

Keep it red everyone is right black is harder to clean and keep nice and they are also more black ones that not.

What're your plans for it?

well its a dd and Im hoping to keep it through college. It has 170k miles on it and my old one had 205k when I got rid of it and it was ragged out, so I know this motor will last with proper maintanance, but I still want to do a swap. I cant decide whether I want sr or ka-t. Im not looking for a ton of power just a little more than it has and an engine with less mileage. I've heard the sr is capable of 30mpg and that sounds really good to me. right now im saving for coils and then I want some g35 wheels.

Super clean, super MINT.Leave the paint as is. If you paint anything, just paint new bumpers and leave those like they are win.

Yeah man, your interior is pretty clean. I just replaced the radio trim and the center ac controls of my newer s14 from my parts car today and it cleaned things up considerably.

It's just good to see someone who takes pride in what they own and will do what's necessary to make it last.

some advice^,Ive heard of hard wiring your radar detector but I havent looked into that. I ran an ac outlet to my center console and plugged my radar detector to that and ran the wire up under the dash. It was a major pain bit it looks alot cleaner now. and to the guy above you, thanks. I love my car, and my last one was pretty trashed and I hated it.

I just like the S14 period. Kouki and Zenki are my passion.

BTW, keep it red. If you do re-paint it. Dodge Viper red is about the most vibrant red you can get.
