This is an OEM Kouki 240, not a kit or update.
SOLD SOLD SOLD
Here's why:
This car has been referred to as a Unicorn by my car club. It has a combination of features that nobody had ever encountered together in one car before. That included white leather upholstery and wood grain inserts in the dash panels! Unfortunately, the leather didn't survive, but I replaced it with dark blue 2-tone seats out of an S-15! Full set, front and rear. The rear seat latch works, the seat drops for access to the trunk.
Other features include nearly every option on the LE checklist:
automatic transmission(!) (rebuilt in 2018)
cruise control
a/c
tilt steering wheel
sunroof/moonroof (works!!)
headliner console with map light
power windows
power mirrors
remote entry/security system (works!)
variable intermittent wipers
drilled and slotted brake rotors all around.
did I mention the wood grain inserts?
Silver Moss green paint. Yes, Silver Moss.
All the running lights, tail/brake lights and dome/map lights have been upgraded to LEDs.
Now the best part: the body is totally straight. Minor dings only in some body panels. The car has never been in an accident, the track is arrow straight. It rides on high-rate springs, which lower the ride height by only 2?. That means that the car will pass inspection for headlight height-above-ground and clearance.
Almost forgot to mention! This car has NISMO strut braces front and rear. Handles like a time-attack car. The car was a daily driver, never raced, never tracked. Other than the springs, it is dead stock
The interior is ~90%. There is a minor tear in the drivers seat left-hand bolster, and the drivers' window sill plastic. There is also a small break in the dash atop the speedometer. However, the headliner is perfect and all interior trim pieces are present and in excellent shape. I even have the ash-tray/storage cubby for the center console!
In the spirit of full disclosure, here are the con's:
The car doesn't run, so you'll need a trailer. It has a head gasket failure @ cylinder #4. This only happened recently: in the last 6 weeks. Until that point, it was reliable as h#ll, and my daily driver.
{Please see this thread (https://zilvia.net/f/showpost.php?p=6409042&postcount=20) for clarification on engine status}
(but you were going to drop a new motor in anyway, weren't you?)
Which brings me to the second point. It's high mileage (but what 240 isn't these days?) 345,000+ on the clock. But, as I said above, the bones are solid, and the body and frame are straight.
Lastly, that Silver Moss paint? The hood is almost completely bare, from clear-coat delamination. And it's spread a little to the tops of the front fenders. There's also a weird patch on the drivers' door. The rest of the paint is smooth and intact.
Finally, the radio doesn't work! Actually, it does, but the speaker wires are faulty, so no sound anyway.
