[kurissuS13]

that's a great silvia u got there. &nbsp;a few q's tho:

-is that the original blue paint? &nbsp;me like. &nbsp;me like a lot.
-is the hood on right? &nbsp;i see some extra space between the hood and the lights.
-wassup with the fender gap in the front? &nbsp;a family of four can live there. &nbsp;j/k

still, u got urself a sweet lookin' car.

[240meowth]

the hood is on propperly, somewhat... not a perfect fit
when i bought the car it was repainted another color, the color you see on the front is the color code that's on the car, which is the orginal color. &nbsp;so the rest of my car isn't the same color as the fenders/bumper, 'cause it was repainted, so i'll have to repaint that color, eventhough i love it...

iirc color code tk3g

So those are real JDM chrome drift series hubcaps? Where and how much did you get those for, cuz I sure as hell know of a nice White 92 Geo Prizim 4dr out on my sidewalk that could use those for the JDM drift events that require special JDM drift series chrom hubcaps.

nice front end, but it looks like it's on hydros!

[91CRXsiR]

for some reason w/ all that wheel gap it looks like the car is taking a sharp turn.. haha...

nice conversion.

enough 'bout the height of the car, it's stock suspension, and i'm dead &nbsp;broke now, so it's gonna stay stock for quite some time

[240sxspeedracer1]

that aint no stock suspension. &nbsp;Shit,I have stock suspension for the moment(waiting on my eibachs, damn backorder) and my wheels sit way higher than that. &nbsp;you must've put on some 11s from a civic &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

Sweet, totally sweet. One thing though... would you mind getting a side-on picture of the car? I'm wondering if the wheelgap is just an optical illusion from the angle of the shot.

technically speaking, i was drifting when i got into the accident, i steered too fast and broke the traction of the front wheels, gained mad under steer and BAMN streight into a cylinder

also... enough w/ the wheel gap! &nbsp;i'm on stock 15's not 11 or 10's

[drift freaq]

congrats Jeremy it looks real good . save your money and we will get you hooked up with a nice suspension for it.

[240meowth]

try another angle, maybe the wheel gap looks smaller

heck, you can't see any wheel gaps

how much lighter are the silvia front end parts than the 180sx ones? that might have something to do with the wheel gap

Its not light enough to add noticable wheel gap.

How can you tell its an m3? &nbsp;

I'll 2nd the ? tho, who's is it?

[benjamminm3]

the m3 is mine....i'm one of jeremy's friends. &nbsp;jeremy thinks that the s13 front end takes off 70-80 lbs so maybe it did add some wheel gap.....plus the fact that he has 2 10's in the trunk(i think they're 10's). &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

That much weight? Holy shit. How is it that much lighter. Metal hood and pop-up lights wouldn't weight THAT much would they?

Nice car benjamminm3! How could zephyr tell it was an m3 just from that shot? I dono much about them...

PS: you should get jdm hubcaps for your m3

thanks for the compliment!

how much does the stock hood weigh? i was under the impression that it weighs ~50 lbs...if it does, the cf hood weighs 10-15 lbs.....so that's 30lbs right there.....i don't think popup headlights would weigh 40lbs over projectors.....but you'd have to ask meowth about that one, i'm just taking his numbers for truth. even so......if he lost just 50 lbs in the front, he also gained ~100 lbs in the rear as well. his battery was moved to the rear on top of his sound system so his car handles quite differently from the stock 240. or at least theory would imply so.

i think zephyr knew it was an m3 from the mirrors and front bumper. the main visible differences from a regular 3 series and an m3 would be
the m3 rear bumper has a diffuser
the m3 front bumper is more aggressive
the m3 has sportier mirrors
the m3 has mouldings that match the bumpers(the regular 3 series usually have skinny mouldings)
the m3 sits slightly lower(1-1 1/2")
the m3 has more aggressive side skirts

and i think that's it. any of those pieces on a regular 3 could easily be replaced so its often hard to tell whether or not a car is an m3. the best way is to see the interior(it has ///m all over it)

ok sorry i typed so much but i tried to cover as much info as possible i guess <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

I think that it looks great. Wish that I had that kind of money to spend on my car. Something annoying about paying the bills and the mortgage... man my wife is annoying... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

[transient]

Actually, with the CF hood, and losing the popup light stuff, etc... I bet that is why there's more wheelgap.

Hey, now you have an excuse to buy coilovers <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[Kid Zelda]

DooD, you don't even need to jack up the car to give it an oil change, that rocks .. heh j/k

I'm sure it will look even sweeter once you do some other mod's (suspension)

[thewholefnshow]

I heard it is 22 lbs for the front end. And the hood I don't know. but the pop ups are like 22 lbs heavier or something, so the car is now that much closer to 50/50 now... an SR and you should be all set.

he's way past 50/50 now......what is the stock weight distrib? &nbsp;53/47?
he's lost a lot of weight in the front, and his rear is at least 100 lbs heavier if not more........which would put up at least a 5% difference.....then once the lost weight in the front is factored in, yeah......he's got a carwith a rear weight bias.

[240meowth]

yah, so it hit me this afternoon, that my silvia conversion saved me weight, i think its about 20. &nbsp;and the cf hood saved me more weight, i think it should be around 40-50? &nbsp;i don't know the exact numbers. &nbsp;on top of that, like that m3 guy mentioned, i have 2 12's in the back and a freakin 30lbs? battery.

how do you like the sunny cf hood? is it good quality i saw one on a s14 i didnt like how it was made to paper like

[gh6o6]

is the wheel space on the fender itself higher on the silvia piece?

[transient]

No, they're the same except for the front.

Oh, meowth, sorry to ruin your fun, but could you downsize that sig pic a little bit? Width is fine, but it needs to be smaller heightwise. Thanks <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[240meowth]

i'm lost... i thought i got the wheel gap is because i lost weight in the front... but apprently, when i squad in there today, (160lbs) me sitting on one of the strut towers, it dropped it 1" to 5" wheel gap from the top of the fender to the top of the wheel... &nbsp;anyone know wha's wrong?

[transient]

http://members.mint.net/fedex/lightning.jpg

Say that again??

[240meowth]

basically, when i sat on the strut tower, it dropped the car 1" lower, thus it became 5" wheel gap... &nbsp;why is it doing this?

[hurleyboi514]

maybe it has something to do w/ the shocks? &nbsp;like, it wont compress anymore b/c the valve is clogged or something. &nbsp;i dunno, i dont see why else it would sit like that.
