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

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

Thanks 🙂

# Ward :
Heyy that's pretty good if you need some 180SX parts from japan gimme a call

Also your USDM parts can worth big bucks in japan

Thanks for the tip!

Well, I sold my G8 to my friend. He wanted it so bad and I was running low on cash. Instead, I decided to focus on the PS13.

First, the brakes. Second, the suspension.

Yes, it is lowered quite a lot. I found a used set of HKS Hipermax Sport set for V$ 1200 (Hard to find a decent one).

The brake discs and the calipers are also replaced to VTTR Racing ones. It came from Taiwan, and it only costed about V$ 600.

Also, the front rubber lips were added.

V$ 12000 (G8)
V$ 1200 (Coilover)
V$ 600 (Brakes)
V$ 100 (Lips)
Total V$ 10855

This S13 seems to be going for a OEM look. Nothing that didnt come on them originally always looks the best, keep it up!

Here's Soju's next update: He changed the bumper to a pignose and did a trip to Croatia. 😛

He don't have turbo, or maybe he bought turbo?

The RPS13 is great, I really like the OEM style with the S14 wheels and such. If you wanted to change them, they could be rebarreled, or be replaced by teardrops.

Also are you going to change them, if so, can I have them for <50V$.

Definetly a clean s13

Soju

Thank you guys. I prefer S14 5-spokes than Nissan teardrops 🙂

For about 3 days, I did a lot of stuff to the Supra. The red color is gone, and now it comes with Pearl White. (V$ 800)

Also, I wanted some lightweight wheels, so I traded the Rotiform ROC with Advan TC3 with extra bucks. I really like this 5-spoke design. (+ V$ 500)

Now the 2JZ gets the twin-turbo setup. (V$ 3500)

Used Greddy Twin-Turbo, with manifold and the intercooler was installed. I wanted to get the new one, but I wanted to save cost for now.

Big turbo comes with great responsibility. Stronger brakes were mandatory, so I went for Baer 6P/4P brake setup with large discs. (V$ 2500)

Also, the stock exhaust was replaced to Kakimoto ones, but with the silencers on. My neighbors would kill me if I drive this monster without it. (V$ 600)

Total V$ Spent (V$ 6900)
Paycheck (V$ 940)
Balance (V$ 4895)

That sounds nice. What's the price?

JF1

The Supra looks excellent.

What's going on with his Aristo, Ward? If it's basically a chassis, then how much?

Ward

@[deleted] he his asking 600V$ but the head has been worked to handle the power it's basically the top part of a 2JZ it has everything

@Jfernando1 He is just selling the head since he is going with 1JZ Head since he needs a car with less power

Great. I'll take it. Shipping fee included?

Ward

Actually no but I ship it for you.
Do I have to take care of any paperwork since Korea isn't a big fan of imported stuff (at least what you say on your rp)

As long as it is not a complete car, it is fine. No need for paperwork.

JF1

Soju, have you got anything for sale?

I want to buy some stuff. I made some money (in RP, in real life, I sell nothing, but keep stuff in pristine condition with values known) selling some old components (Computer) to get 100£V. Bringing me to 136.46£V or 185.10V$.

I grabbed these nice sets of Alfa wheels for V$ 600. It was meant to fit on the Italian pasta machine, but it also looked good on my S13.

Few batches of Alfas and Lancias were imported during 90s in Korea, but did not sell well due to high costs.

I guess this wheel is from one of those salvaged Alfas. Now my car looks like a tomato.

V$ 600 (Alfa Wheels)
Total V$ 4295
