lucky the wheels are still in good shape. You figuring totaled? Save the wheels and engine and get a sentra or something to swap that sweet thing into.

3 out of 4 are still good, I'm buying another wheel and tire. And I'm still stickin' with 240's. ;)

but 240's are so hard to come by nowadays...going with s13 or s14? got your eye on a 180 (240sx hatch)?

LOL! Gimmie a moment and I'll post pics of the new Kouki S14 I picked up. X3

No wai! do you get these things imported? or find them for sale somewhere?

...*sigh* i want a 180sx....

Where I would love to have one imported these were manufactured in the US in '97-'98. But no where as many as the '95's or prior years.

wait...aren't the Kouki's built in japan and imported for the american market? to be honest...I don't really know all that much about the manufacturing of them, only they go like stink in straight lines, around turns and even sideways...and I want one, lol. Like I said, I'd prefer to have a s13 hatch to my little zx2, but the ones I've had my eyes on are all riced out and look like shit...or have some old guy driving it around who doesn't want to sell it because its the only car he's got...

Aaaaah, I see now. Well, yeah, I guess if your looking at it from that standpoint then yes, my car was assembled and built in Japan. Kyushyu, Japan to be more specific if I'm reading my VIN correctly. And I suppose its finally assembly is finished here in the US for the US market. And why not try Craigslist? They offer some gems every now and then. And parts are also available through that site as well and forums. I used to rock a little Escort ZX2...I feel your pain. LOL!

theres nothing really here in chicago in my price range besides, I wouldn't buy one here since it'll be all nasty and rusted and shit...If I lived in the south or something where snow and salt wasn't an issue i would'a for sure got one...but here, I woulnd't subject wanna subject that car to the winters here...it wouldn't be fair. Besides, my little zx2 dont do so bad in my AutoX class so I guess its alright...

Major crappy luck man, sorry about that. =o( Hopefully it can be salvaged...

It was shitty luck, it'll make a nice parts car for the new one though! LOL!

Damn that sucks ass! I'm sorry. I liked that car alot.

Your telling me. Even after getting another '97 Kouki it doesn't feel like my car. I mean granted it doesn't have coilovers and all the suspension work like the black one did. But the overall car itself doesn't feel like mine just yet. Guess its gotta grow on me. I'm already in the processes of getting it setup. Stance GR+ Pro coilovers, Stance aluminum subframe bushings, swapping the differentials out of the black car into the white one. Its a Skyline R32 differential. Purchase the one wheel and tire and I'll be set for the most part.3 out of 4 are still good, I'm buying another wheel and tire. And I'm still stickin' with 240's. ;)

Which of the 2 has a better interior? Cause that might affect the feel of the car. You may be used to sitting in the black one.

LOL! Black one had NO interior. White one does.

Are you going to stick with the interior this time around?

that sucks a lot dude, but at least the headlight seems ok, a set of them(kouki) cost about 900$ at the dealer x_x

Damn dude D:

Yeah dude...-_- But its okay, got a new one. =3 So all is not a complete loss, if anything, I now have a complete motor to fully build. >=3

Were you able to salvage the old one? Or are ya just restarting more or less x3

Of course I'm salvaging it! LOL! Even though the car is more or less totaled its still a goldmine worth of parts of money!

Yea I was about to say lol.
My bf's civic SI got totaled a few months ago and the insurance company totally stiffed him on all the aftermarket parts he put into it. Not to mention the tow truck guy ruined the engine when he tried to drive it onto the bed. Poor k20 D:
