The weird thing is that the first one is LHD, but appears to be in Japan (note K cars). &nbsp;I know they were never sold there (although a few hardtops were specially converted). &nbsp;I'm wondering what would look better 180/240 front end or silvia? &nbsp;I am partial to pop-ups on verts and think that smooth might be better than the Stanza... err... Silvia front. &nbsp;(not that someone could tell from that rice-fest that is the second one <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'> )

Because it'd be on topic, I am so tempted to put a plug here for my eBay ad, but I will refrain.

Instead, even more on topic, I will say that first one is beautiful and the second is, on the other hand, quite hideous. Just my opinions.

And, on the topic of rice-fest (see also: second link in this thread), I went to Atlantic City this weekend. First, if you've never been, don't bother. Unless, of course, you want to go rice hunting.

OH MY GOD (who, incidently, I'm told, is coming back), THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!! You couldn't go one minute without seeing some absolutely wretched tail lights, a spoiler large enough even Martha Stewart could've used it as a spice rack (assuming she were on acid), rims so reflective you might as well be looking at the wrong end of a cop's flashlight, body kits you could grate cheese with, or tires that more resembled a thick coat of black paint on the wheels than actual rubber. Often times, there was no escaping the ugliness, because turning your head and shielding your eyes only fixed your gaze more. EVERYWHERE YOU LOOKED, THEY WERE THERE!! The rice infiltration is of epidemic proportions. It was really quite scary.

On the way home, my friend said, "I feel this strange urge to watch The Fast & The Furious. I can't explain it." She decided my suggestion of "Ocean's 11" was a better call. Thankfully. =)

Edit: And I forgot to mention the exhausts. Again, each one was louder than the one before it. It was insane. After awhile, you'd hear stuff that if you were outside of AC, you could at least hope was a motorcycle, but there .. oh no, you knew better. Sigh. It was pretty bad.

That Silivia looks pretty sweet. &nbsp;But those rimes look pretty photoshopped to me. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

The first car is nice. &nbsp;The Volk GTP look pretty good on a 240sx. &nbsp;But I have to agree that It looks photoshop'd. Even the driver's seat looks kinda funky and the background cars are not sold in the US.

[AKADriver]

I'm pretty sure the photo of the Silvia is altered... added volks, and reversed to make the car look LHD.

Here's one that's not altered, though:

I don't know the story behind it, but those are R32 GTS-t wheels, and you can just barely see an australia/new zealand type license plate.

The Silvia convertibles are interesting, and markedly different from the 240SX convertibles. I wonder how the seat belts are mounted, considering the lack of the half-B-pillar.

[JEdubz]

I think the first one is a beauty, I actually would get a cnv. if I have the money for an SR & manual transmission right away...but for some reasons the 93's are just so damn expensive.
