What's with the quotations around major? "Major"? In what part of my post do I say anything is major? Exactly what or whom are you quoting? A further strengthened block, valve train, and updated manifolds basically guarantee's a kouki owner's engine will be the sought after one in years to come, as will the rear-end with the more sport oriented final drive. Only takes a few years of old car ownership to understand that little bit. Add in -everything- else (including the extremely minor 6th gear strengthening) and it's safe to say that if the kouki version stays well within the original MSRP of the zenki, it is the better buy. Hell I didn't even mention the change to LED front/rear lights.

The majority hated front fascia? Wow...bumper cover swaps are extremely hard. The aftermarket will NEVER supply anything like that, or, y'know, just use a zenki front. Those are impossible to come by.

As per the OP, the salesman stated wheels were really the only change and nothing else. He was laughing because he knew what I knew: The changes were more numerous than that, and I simply pointed them out when you posted "5HP, and new fascias are hardly a major overhaul. " (Proper use of quotations btw).
