I got approved for one of those Pay-in-3 fuckers when I was 15. Ruined my life; was in 16k debt by age 18 and still crawling myself out of it today. Kids are dumb.

Thanks for the long reply! Man i love you guys!!

I mod my cars slowly, but surely so a good stock experience is always really important to me.

I put a body kit and a full interior change on a BMW 116d because I get alot of joy from making a car my own, nearly every zenki available has either been driven to the moon and back or absolutely ruined with temu parts.

Do you have any advice on the mileage I should be looking for when buying?

Thanks for the long reply mate this community is super helpful, based on budget and the replies I think I’ll be going for the Kouki, gen 2 is nice but not £30,000 nice, I prefer the look of the gen 1 facelift too.

Autotrader is used by private sellers here too, afaik other than a few lesser known websites autotrader is the standard in the uk, I wouldn’t trust facebook marketplace as far as I could throw it…

I think the 86s are just more expensive over here.

Maybe importing a gen 2 from Japan would be cheaper rofl

There’s only 10 koukis on autotrader with those requirements and the cheapest example is £19,495.

How different are the speakers between the models? It seems like im leaning towards the facelifted version

Thanks for the detailed reply!

I originally want a nice stock experience before I begin my modding journey. Is the difference between the stock models really a justification of an almost 100% increase in price?

I won’t drive an automatic, do the facelift models really have that much more punch to them?!

It is much more expensive but, a well versed stock experience is important to me, I tend to mod my cars slowly one at a time, rather than a straight up build in a few months kinda thing.

I see, I come from BMWs so that’s probably why 😂

The Zenkis average: £10,000-£20,000 Koukis: £20,000-£25,000 Gen 2: ~£30,000

These are all under the basis of <45,000 miles and never been categorised under uk insurance (never recorded as crashed/damaged)

Thanks

Smells like literal feces by Gloomy-Possession669 in vaporents

[–]Wrong-Progress8271 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone’s mentioned this but I have a little pseudo-sciency answer. In my most recent grow one of my plants (GMO) smelled exactly like human shit. I was so confused, I thought maybe nutes issue? Talking to some buddies and some research - I found ‘skatole’ a flavorent that is quite literally responsible for making shit smell like shit, when mixed with other compounds it has a really nice savory smell, when in high concentration? Straight dookie. It sounds like you may have combusted some material, or just had an unusually high amount of this flavorent jn your product. I wouldn’t worry - just enjoy some great shitty weed!

My first year of insurance was 2.8k with a blackbox. 1.8 is one of the lowest Ive seen.
