V$ Soju's RP Build

Soju · 2017-03-30T16:48:34+00:00

Hello, I am Soju, a Seoul resident. I was able to get the hands on this beautiful, almost stock Kouki S14 for V$10000. JDM vehicles here are a bit overpriced here in Korea. I could've just get Hyundai Genesis Coupe for dirt cheap price but it didn't give me the "JDM vibe" to me. The previous owner mentioned that he used it for daily driving. The car was fitted with 16-inch Nissan Q's rims and Dunlop. Chassis and suspensions were okay. The tires and brake pads had to be replaced. It was squealing

Did Someone Say Hyundai?

Today I met my friend who owns the "Zenki" Genesis Coupe. It's a KDM 380GT-R Trim which has the 3.8 V6 engine and the manual 6-speed transmission.

Also, the car is Lime Rock Green, which is pretty rare in Korea. Most of the Coupes here are white, grey or black.

As you can see, the car has been pretty modified, because he also participates in Korean Drift Festival.

He installed the 326Power Brake System and the Hydraulic Brake Lever. He also uses Toyo R888 Tires.

Nardi Steering Wheel and the red Bride BRIX Seats look really good in his car.

He installed the gauges too far, since there wasn't enough room.

From the back, the trunk duck-tail spoiler was added, and the dual exhaust system was replaced to Kakimoto single exhaust setting, but with silencers.

Not bad to own one of these in Korea. It is becoming cheaper and most of the parts are still available at low prices.

V$ 940 (Salary)
Total V$ 6255

Zero

JF1

Actually (depending on RP rules) I may know where you could buy one.

(If RP rules allow); A friend may have a hack job of a 240 lying at my garage (Not based on anything in particular, just a build of 240 I had as a save car in-game for a while, that combined many different styles; drift, time attack, shakotan, etc).

(If RP rules don't); Hope you find one, also I sort of want one.

Added 2 minutes later:

(If so); It's cream. And Black. And Red. And primered on some panels. With a spoiler on the bottom of its rear bumper. And a Diffuser. And some random wheels. And a blown SR.

(If not); It'll appear in the RP and you'll see it.

Some of my friends came over to the garage to see what I bought this time. Usually I don't tell them, but this was a special one, so I called them and take a look at what I brought.

This 180, is what I bought for only V$ 5500. I was really lucky to get one, because this one had green license plates,which means it was imported at least 15 years ago.

Yes, it is old, but buying a registered vehicle rather than picking up from another countries is much, much better.

Typical Chuki HICAS Trim, Faded red, 5-Lug conversion with S14 wheels, SR20 N/A with 5-speed Manual. Not bad for the price.

It has some scratches on the side and the front bumper, but it doesn't matter.

The car was originally registered in Incheon, a port city. I have a choice to replace this into the white one, but I decided not to.

These green plates mean something in Korea.

Since my friends were here, I brought some of drinks (obviously non-alcohol) to chat about the cars and stuff.

Fuzzy dice decoration. So 90s. The steering wheel is from USDM 240SX, but it will be replaced anyway.

V$ 5500 (RPS13)
Total V$ 755

I am tight on a budget, so I gotta stick to what it originally came for now.

Snowyy

Stock-ish. Rare af.
(I've got some overfenders that would fit, hmu if you need'em. -50%)

JF1

It looks great externally as is. Clean 240, /Soju.

Zero

Ohh Budget. Well maybe you could try making a K-Style bumper? Just cut out a hole thats all haha

It was easier to find the stock one here in Korea due to strict rules.

You have to declare the DMV every time you install something to the car.

I am keeping it stock for a moment. Thank you for the offer tho.

Thanks. I want to keep it clean just like last time.

I will try that later when I get another Chuki bumper. Thanks.

I headed to the local mountain road for the test drive. It definitely lacks power than the Supra or the G8, but it does its job flawlessly.

The car came with the Toyo R888 tires. It handles the grip really well. The tires looked not so old, so I decided to use until it wears out.

The uphill course was fairly challenging. As I mentioned earlier, it lacked the power.

However, the downhill was a whole different story. It is fairly lightweight, and I almost slipped the car sideways, and the brakes were not much powerful.

Probably the first priority will be the brake replacement.

JF1

The wheels look good.

Zero

I Remember ripping a stock 180sx a fair bit of time ago. Brilliant touge cars from factory just lack power uphill, hopefully this is gonna be as clean as your other builds

I guess it is a perfect time to clean the car.

Zero

Idk why but im getting a SW20 vibe from this Hatch? I do think S14 rims looks sick on a S13 tho
