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 all the time.

Front bumper wasn't in good shape, was missing bumper lights and it was needed to be re-positioned.



The engine was in good condition. Radiators had to be replaced. I took it out for replacement.

And the new VIN number was engraved since Korean DMV doesn't offer original VIN after registration.

I was lucky that I could get this car before the new DMV regulation regarding OBD and emissions eventually stopping all JDM imports coming over.



The interior of the car is pretty much bone stock. Stock steering wheel, stock seats.

I might replace basic stuff first, such as brakes, tires and such. Safety first as always.


V$20000 - V$10000 (S14 Price) = V$10000
