is the kit molded in? and is it an auto or manual?

for under 5k I say it's worth it...get rid of the kit and wing, get rid of the wheels, and sell it for 6-7k

[420sx]

worth it. you gonna have to de-rise the entire car. this motha fucka is ugly

[Siizzzoooo]

well if i'm gonna buy it, its gonna be anothe project car.

Those are the pictures the dealership sent to me. I'm going to go take a look at it tomorrow.

The kit doesn't appear to be molded in.

I'll throw my old SE wheels on there, order version select kit, shave the rear trunk lid, get paint kit painted and hopefully after $1200, I'd have a nice lookin ride.

[Mervyn]

Just buy it then start modifying the exterior/interior/engine bay/etc yourself.

[Siizzzoooo]

we shall find out tomorrow...i'm crossing my fingers the car is in good shape

[JaeTea]

Well I don't see an intake so that might be a good sign (meaning he just did exterior rice)...or the dealership switched it out.

If its manual I say buy it.

Hopefully the interior isn't vinyld yellow.

[sw20>>s14]

hahahahaha oh man thats sad...just be sure to check EVERYTHING...you know kids and theyre half ass attempts to try and wire fog lights or decks/speakers or anything for that matter...may seem like a small thing, but itll save you headaches in the long run...seems to be only cosmetic tho...let hope this is the case...if so, its a steal (well, from CA standards...)

look on the bright side...at least your getting an optima....hahahaha...i say go for it captain sava hoe...

[SochBAT]

HOly Crap, those are the same rice sideskirts i had on my S14. My shit was molded on. It was SUPER gay. Get it, DeRice with some quality Origin or DDrug makeover parts.

OH, and plant that bench of a wing in the park. Do your part for the community.

[FaLKoN240]

I can't see pics :(

[ranisron]

5 speed get it...

looks ricey, but could be a worthy investment.

[rancid240]

front is really high up or is it just me? looks like no engine almost.

[SochBAT]

I think its just the angle of the camera. He's a noob photographer!!!

[S14DB]

It's Auto, look at the firewall. no clutch.

[SimpleS14]

^--- Good point


I would just buy it, clean it up, and resell it.

[KOUKI KA-T]

I'd keep walking, wouldn't touch it.

[m0rex]

Wheres the pics at?

[TheTimanator]

I'd buy the purple one that you were talking about in the other thread. Thats a sweet color! hehe

[driftracer]

the auto part is a bummer...I dont think I'd get it. :p

[infinitexsound]

Id bring it down to as low as possible auto big woopty doooo.. nothing a front clip cant handle.... and ur current i totalled my s14 parting out threads cant solve...

[SochBAT]

Hyphy fugging ROCKS!!!

Get it, derice, 5speed conversion. Resell or keep.

Personally, i'd keep it. Sell off all your kouki parts n come up!

[Siizzzoooo]

well guys, just got back from looking at it, it was a total POS!

i wouldn't pay more than 3k for it, even then it would take alot of work...

the search is on

[codyace]

I hear ya on that one!! :(

I was hoping to get a nice Kouki when I was home on leave, but I guess I'll be waiting till next jan/feb for one :)

[420sx]

bring the price down to 3k.

sell ugly kit on ebay or on honda-tech. or any other rice forums.

part out front end, get zenki front end.
get brakes and coilovers.
sell the wheels get something wide and nice.
swap in ls1.

What's wrong with it? It is mechanically sound? 78K does not sound like much but of course if you don't change the oil and beat on it......

Three thousand for a 97 isn't bad.

[cr00k_lyn]

holy, he put that car in a coma...please save it from it's death

[Irukandji]

errr it looks like its gonna take a lot of work, but just go for it. it shud be a fun end of summer project restoration.

[BADNEWSKA]

Anyone ever use an e-loan to buy a car off of ebay? GOOD OR BAD IDEA?

[drift freaq]

5k !!! buy that car , thats a steal. cleaned up with a 5 speed it would easily fetch close to 9k. shit, buy it for me and I will fly out there and drive it home. hahahhahhahhahah

[Pacman]

I would go there with cash, a set of S14 SE's w/good enough tires, and a tool set or hack saw and drive it home.

[Siizzzoooo]

haha, well the car is still there if anyone wants the info on it...

instead I bought this one

98 SE w/ 98k miles, near MINT condition and unmolested

$7500
