The Nissan Rasheen Forza is a compact crossover SUV sold from 1998 to 2000 and is a derivative of the Nissan Rasheen, which was sold from 1994. Compared to the original Rasheen, it is equipped with a 2 L in-line four-cylinder DOHC engine with a larger displacement, over fenders, round four-lamp headlights, special grille and bumper, etc.
This vehicle is a 1999 model and was purchased by the owner, Tensei Fukuchi, when he was 24 years old (2021). Mr Fukuchi originally liked cars from the 80s and 90s, and after much consideration as his first car, he decided to drive a customizable domestic car, taking maintenance and upkeep costs into consideration. He also chose this car because his older brother, who was 10 years older than him, had one of those more than 10 years ago. He liked the round-eyed four headlights and the 2000 cc displacement and decided to buy a FORZA.
When he bought the car, he paid close attention to the details of the interior and exterior and made various customisations. The car’s exterior was painted all black, as the owner was torn between dark green and red, but decided that it would be better to keep it fresh for daily use. The front grille, mirrors and other parts were finished in matte black as accents.
The interior is uniformly beige, and the seats have been reupholstered in luxurious beige leather instead of the genuine fabric ones. The steering wheel has been changed to a wood deep cone type, with a wooden, warm, thick grip and a large protruding steel part with a strong presence, which he particularly likes.
The black exterior, beige leather interior and wood steering wheel combine to create a classy and luxurious vehicle.
