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

We need a massive S-Chassis meet somewhere we can all go easily!

Impact Blue?

Since my S14 was previously blue, I wanted my red Sil80 some new color. I had "Impact Blue" color in my mind, so I found some similar color that could show more vibrancy. Therefore I chose this FD RX-7 Blue because it was sorta similar to what I imagined. Yeah it took several days but the paint shop owner made a 20% discount for me this time.

I also wrapped the center part in a carbon pattern to give more "it's my car" look. It was a pain in the ass to take it off and wrap that simple thing.

I traded the SSR Mesh wheels with Gunmetal Wanatabes as well. I think it looks better imo.

I ordered another set of stickers from 11000rpm and FamousMan for more "stickers n' shit". Hentai FTW

... And this is how my Sil80 looks right now. I think it is time for engine / transmission upgrade.

V$ 640 (Repaint)
V$ 50 (Stickers)
Total V$ 865

I love it. Only thing that bugs me a little is the chunky tires but 16"'s look mad. I need some stickers now! Gotta get that rice look!

That looks really good! It's giving my flashbacks to my Sil80!

Brap Intensifies

I went to the local tuner shop and met another person who wanted a SR20 engine / transmission set for V$ 2500.

I sold the engine (it was pretty much bone stock) and tried to search some different engines like 13B, 2.0 Hyundai I4 Turbo, 3.8 V6 N/A, etc.

I just figured out that the 3.8 V6 Hyundai Genesis engine does not fit into the S13 at all, so I changed my mind to put 13B Rotary in it.

I looked for the internet and looked for some government auctions for salvaged vehicles.

I could find one JDM RX-8 that was rear-ended and abandoned on the road for a long time. I quickly picked the car for V$ 2500.

The shop manager told me that he wanted that chassis, so I sold the chassis for V$ 1000, since he wanted to make a stock car out of it.

Also, I just got the stock gear knob for V$ 50. Now it looks perfect.

V$ 2500 (SR20)
V$ 2500 (13B Rotary)
V$ 1000 (RX-8 Salvage)
V$ 50 (Gear Knob)
Total V$ 1815

This just got interesting.

So, will you boost it or keep it n/a?

brap swap

Lagano

Even if 13B is one of the most known JDM engines it's quite a rare swap, maybe cause it's not the most reliable. It would be better with a turbo but you still have one of the coolest S13s out there. 🙂
