Coupe or Hatch

[bardabe]

Ok as we all know I traded my S13 Coupe, RHD, RB yatta yatta..... for a DSM.... :madfawk: :bite: :ghey: :hammer: :bash: :bash: yes I know i Fucked up.... so basically now im posting the talon for sale. and am on the market for another S13. I just can't decide betwen Hatch and Coupe I hear allot of pro's and con's but can';t make up my mind maby if I see em all together in one thread it will help me decide.

[Tearlessj]

Get both.

asfasfaf

[t1mmy626]

hatch FTMFW!!:bigok:

[whiteytighties]

I agree get both, I love both and they both do have their pros & cons.

I've owned the same amount of fastbacks and coupes. Just bought a black fastback in Moreno Valley that I ended up giving to my brother for now and probably looking for another good deal to pop up whether it's coupe or fastback.

[HnSz240SX]

boy shure focked up buying a dodge, terrible

[Dirty Habit]

Always loved the coupes, never a fan of the fastback.

[qwikspool]

coupe because they are cool to me. my2cents

[Silverbullet]

coupe with body kit. Its the new hotness. i think we've all seen enough coupes with Silvia faces.

[B Love]

Which ever one is thumbsdown approved hahaha.

[2.240s]

I own a hatch , but every time i see a coupe i want it.

[bardabe]

Wtf were you thinking
idk......
where's the box to check for go kill yourself
my balls are on hold in the highest point of the RWD realm i need to get them back
Which ever one is thumbsdown approved hahaha.
im not TD anymore.

[EJ253]

thats not even fair. S13 coupe is like 54365 better ;)

[KA24DESOneThree]

Coupe is lighter, stiffer, and rarer.

Coupe win.

[boogerlovers]

coupe...ftw

(msglngth)

[B Love]

Your still cool with all those guys?

[bardabe]

Your still cool with all those guys?

just mark. ha ha and I shall start looking for a coupe

[TonKpilS14]

wow i thought that hatches were going 2 win b4 i voted.

everyone around here drives a hatch. did they make less coupes or something?

[B Love]

Yup way less coupes

coupe>hatch :bigok:

[CKAMC]

ckamc says hatches are gay

ckamc says you should get a coupe

ckamc says besides how much rare'r, lighter weight coupes are, they also have the best aero options.

[drift freaq]

CKAMC needs his brain checked. lol

Fastbacks forever!! Coupes are cool but Fastbacks rule!

[snappy]

Get a Coupe... In fact, get my coupe- I really want a FB again.

[NINJASPY]

I agree get both, I love both and they both do have their pros & cons.

what are the pros/cons?

coupe - slightly lighter. but how much?
coupe - slightly stiffer, because of rear deck/ c-pillar?
hatch - more storage area?

I myself am deciding which to get, and its probably gonna end up being a s14 just because of looks.

[yoinkAzenki]

get a s14 haha. dont really know the technical differences but as far as looks either one can look nice. i would get a coupe just because i see more hatches.

[TheSquidd]

Coupe - class
Hatch - ass.

[nissanguy13]

Damn my vote for hatch didn't really help, the coupe is winning like it's cool.

[TonKpilS14]

Yup way less coupes

wow i never new that... i just thought more people liked hatches not the fact that they made less coupes. :tweak:

u learn something new everyday

[swiftdrift]

Coupe is lighter, stiffer, and rarer.

Coupe win.

ya like he said!... coupes are way more rarrrerr!



..... got me one... i loves it! :bigok:

[fwuffy squirrel]

cmon you know they are playin with you. Everyone and their mom knows that hatches are WAY better but since your bought a DSM they are trying to convince you to get a coupe:-/

Be a real man.....get a hatch:bigok:

[CKAMC]

CKAMC needs his brain checked. lol

Fastbacks forever!! Coupes are cool but Fastbacks rule!

ckamc's brain has been checked and approved by nissan.

S15 isnt a hatch, nor is the S14, they are COUPES :fawkd:

[Kn1ves]

ckamc's brain has been checked and approved by nissan.

S15 isnt a hatch, nor is the S14, they are COUPES :fawkd:


but S13 Coupe died an earlier death vs the S13 Hatchbacks in ZOMG LAND

therefore hatchbacks forever!!

[soreballz]

Hmm.... I could've SWORN we had a poll section here...



Coupes, yay!

[drift freaq]

ckamc's brain has been checked and approved by nissan.

S15 isnt a hatch, nor is the S14, they are COUPES :fawkd:

Ya but 180sx's were made for 10 years straight. Can't say that about a S15,S14 or S13 coupe.

[ONYX S-13]

but S13 Coupe died an earlier death vs the S13 Hatchbacks in ZOMG LAND

therefore hatchbacks forever!!



Indeed


HATCHES FOREVER !

Hatch > coupe.

My Hatch can fit more drift spares then your coupe with full interior! : P

[Gertid1]

it doesnt many how many spares you can fit once they see the coupe you get spares for free!! lol jk COUPE FTW

[AWDTurbo]

Hatches looks better, I have only seen 2-5 good looking coupes.

I wanna see someone with enough power to pop the glass in the back hatch tho!!!! HAHA Priceless!!!!

[RUTH'LESSDET]

fastback are so much better looking.....but a kouki s14's is were its at right now.

p.s. what the hell you had a rhd rb and sold it for a dsm.....you should be caned!!:rant:

[exitspeed]

I think we all know the answer to this question. Coupe's are hotter. Period. No one with a coupe, sells it and gets a hatch. TONS of people with hatchs sell'em and get coupes though.

Oh and Barbade, I think your avatar is laughing at you about your Talon move. DSM. Silly rabbit. :-/

[KA24DESOneThree]

Which looks better from a camera mounted about 3 inches off the ground about six feet away watching the tires light up as it disappears over the horizon?

That's what I thought.

[sr20boostn20]

i drive a hatch, cause i got it for 500$

but i love coupes

and coupes with s14 fronts

[wannabe_drifter]

S15 might be a coupe but it looks much more like an S13 hatch than a coupe!!! which looks better !!! :P

And so true about the hatch made for 10 years !!!!!

Still like coupe though, just get both, they're cheap, I know if I wouldn't be in school I'd do that !! A coupe with silvia front end and hatch w/ kouki tails, bumpers and side skirts.

[cronux]

everyone and thier grandma has a hatch. be at least a little less common and go with a coupe.

[drift freaq]

Keep on buying those Coupes guys. More Fastbacks for me. :D

[mayco_86]

Guys dnt ge me wrong hatches are nice only if they hve the kouki lights but coupes are hella nicer :loco:

[bardabe]

yes my avatar is laughing at me =( anyone want my DSM? lol

[jrocslider]

i myself think hatches look better... smooth sexy body lines

my first car was a clean red hatch. i wrecked it and had to get another car quick... i got a coupe and ended up sellin it 6 months later for another hatch. idk i guess i'm just a hatch guy cause i'm on my 4th one now.

[txrxs]

war coupe....

coupe yesssssssssssssssssssssss

[TonKpilS14]

hatches were made for 10 years straight. what years were coupes ?

[dirtdiggler666]

i only say coupe cuz i have allready had two hatchbacks, but meah they bolth kick ass

[steve shadows]

Coupe - class
Hatch - ass.

coupe 80 prelude

hatch usually gets ruined by fan boys who pile jdm shit

but looks more modern in design

If i were going to do it over _which i might_ I would get an s13 coupe and drop an s15 front end on the bish.

Go fiberglass and CF as much as possible, head to head the coupe will come out a little lighter after being prepped for the track.

[Skullavera]

I like both, but there's just something about the way my baby's ass looks in my garage when the moonlight caresses her ever so smooth lines that just tells me...

HATCH > COUPE!!!

[whiteytighties]

what are the pros/cons?

coupe - slightly lighter. but how much?
coupe - slightly stiffer, because of rear deck/ c-pillar?
hatch - more storage area?

I myself am deciding which to get, and its probably gonna end up being a s14 just because of looks.


Supposedly the coupe is anywhere from 50-100 lbs lighter than the fastback. Coupe is stiffer.

Hatch does have more storage space and doesn't have tail light issues like all the coupes I've had. It makes too many noises when you start stiffening up the chassis compared to a coupe.

They both look good and unique in their own ways. I'll always be a coupe guy, but I love both and have owned the same equal amount. :bigok:

Get both or get an s14 for the best of both worlds.

[nevaland9]

i had two hatchs..got a crazy deal on my boys coupe, i was reluctant at first but now i <3 coupes way more.

when i put bodies in the trunk i dont see the reflection of their hollow eyes looking at me in my rear view mirror.


Funny coupe story:
one day i ran from the po, got far enough away where i thought i was safe. i wasnt he got me and thought i ran because i had drugs in the car (obv didnt). I swaped trunks for a wingless trunk and had no trunk latch so i did the next best thing, moved my pass seat, snaked thru the cage, crawled thru back seat and zip tied the trunk from the inside.
officer:hiding anything in your trunk? open it.
me:well funny story, it dosnt open
cop with grin on his face: oh yea, why not tough guy?
me:its zip tied shut from the inside
cop:how do we get in your trunk then?
me:crawl thru the cage or pull really hard on the trunk the zip ties will pop.
after a sad attempt to get a cop thru my cage. two cops end up standing on my rear bumper prying at my trunk as hard as they can. after about 4 min *pop* the zip ties snap and oh no..they reveal my super sneaky stash spot for my battery.
blah blah blah moods change, cops write said tickets(10 im guessing for their frustration), tap me on the tush and send me on my way.

lawyer still hates me to this day, most expensive coupe ever owned.

COUPES ..... only if they have a silvia fornt

[B18C5MK1]

hatch!


i'm glad i didnt see convertible on here. :keke:

http://images.163car.com/NewsImages/2005-6-7/20056710528964.JPG

[Sonic Motor]

i woulda voted for convertible...since no verts, COUPE!!!

So...i have a funny story too..

One day, I parked my coupe infront of my house, and forgot there was street sweeper that day. So I got a parking ticket for parking there.

And on the ticket, it had my vin and plate # and color and all the junk they put on the title.

Silvia had silvia front end and it was projector at the moment...So no Nissan logo in the front.

in the rear, i dont have a silvia emblem, nor 240sx emblems, nor the NISSAN sign cuz I picked up a painted one from the junk yard. So my car was unmarked.

The idiot put "ACURA" for vehicle make.
Model: "coupe"

Wouldnt it be fucked up if he actually knew what car I had....and just to spite me, put acura??? lol I doubt it though.

[trsilvias13]

Everytime I get a coupe, I would want a hatch. Everytime I get a hatch, I want a coupe.

Get a s14 kouki or a rx7 - Coupe + Hatch = fun.

[MrChow]

*sigh*

I still miss your old S13. I really liked it a lot.
I think you should get a S14. You'd like it more.

Anyways on that I think your more of a coupe person anyways.

[B Love]

Get a hatch and a coupe and the coupe can be your comfy cruiser and the hatch can be your fast car.

[fwuffy squirrel]

Average Coupe...

Werd.... Anybody wanna trade? I gotta 91 Coupe SE. lol thread jack.

[ROUGE180]

HATCH!!!! whos going to tote around your tires when you go to a drift event!! Or go gangsta and make a truck

[UNISA JECS]

coupe is my vote

or

hatch with $2,500 rims + 3,000 paint + 1,500 FRP body kit etc etc is the only way they look nice IMHO

[WERDdabuilder]

jay-z said it best.

I come scoop you in that Coupe

:ughd: Im starting to think this is the dumbest thread ever

[snappy]

I think coupes look way more basic, the FB is soooo sleek, '97 180sx FTW All Day Long!!!

[hatchbaak]

Coupes are sexy but i have to say Hatchback.
You all hate on the hatch because deep down, you know you just love it. :boink:


:lockd:

[Tenchuu]

S14 or coupe. hatch FTL

[breakindrifts]

Mehh tracking with a coupe sucks balls if you drive your car there.

I fit like 10 wheels + bbq equipment + tent in my hatch easily.

Lets see your damn coupe do that.

[rongfk]

get a fastback rps13, you already know what the coupe is like. with a fast/hatch back you have a few more options i.e; taillights, aero, front end (OE, 180sx, or Silvia) etc. why would you want something you've already had? its basically the same beast just a little more aerodynamic.
that's just my opinion.

-Ronnie

[fwuffy squirrel]

rongfk and Tenchuu are right...Hatches are just better in so many ways and its futile to think otherwise

[adjaga500]

i would get a coupe.. in fact i will be getting one soon... personally, fastbacks look really heavy, and i simply love the old school, boxy look that the coupe offers (this is the same reason why i would get a 87 coupe corolla)

breakindrifts: "I fit like 10 wheels + bbq equipment + tent in my hatch easily."

kickass reason to get a FB though... i agree with this guy..

[bo2o]

i would say fcuk s13 step up to s14. or better yet get a lighter car like a miata or mr.s or mr2

good things about coupe trunk pops stronger rear pillars.
bad things is it looks like a DAMN integra DA haha.

goods of a hatch its a freaking truck.
bad things hatch is a bitch to pop if you car is started, and dont want to turn it off.
u have to strap ur lap belt to the latch and try to open it, rinse and repeat if that doesnt work haha.

[B Love]

fastbacks look really heavy

WTF are you serious aha they look heavy. Dude Im telling just get both find a hatch and a coupe in whatever condition. You and I both know you can do all the work on the car yourself and you got plenty of space to store em if you still have that big ass yard.

[soreballz]

:ughd: Im starting to think this is the dumbest thread ever
I agree... Its starting to feel like NICO in here. :ughd:

[bardabe]

so pretty much the Hatch has the More Room, and the Extra Aero Options. now let's talk comfort. I heard its louder inside a hatch than a coupe. Discuss.

[berz]

gotta have both and a Z, sometimes some people are lucky that way. that how some guy up my street rolls, but i got a tighter coupe than him

[Slammed180]

Hatch is sweet, but only with pop ups! S15 fronts are to wide and throw the body off. Coupes are cool, but way to overplayed. I personally have a 180sx with pignose front end, and I love it! My buddy has a S13 silvia and it's nice too, but would way rather be seen driving my car.

[drift freaq]

i dont like to be mistaken for probes

no you like being mistaken for Preludes and Acura's

If you think S15 fronts are to wide and throw the body lines off. YOu A: have never seen a decent conversion and B: Probably have never seen a S13.5 in real life let alone one done right.

I have seen a few in real life. But you may be right in that I've never seen a decent conversion. Personally I love the look of the S15 front end, but have never seen one on a S13 that I thought flowed nicely. which is to bad, seems to have great potential.

[WilloW]

The lines on the coupe is much sexier IMO, so I voted coupe.

[breakindrifts]

comfort is for vaginas.

[fwuffy squirrel]

comfort is for vaginas.

Hes right dont be a vagina.....get a hatch
man I should make a shirt or something

[Rayne]

Hatch for those who wreck often. Reason has already been stated in other posts.

I have a coupe. Seriously...what is the point of this thread? Everyone can give thier opinion on the matter, yet it still does not change the fact that the 240sx is no longer being made.

[Lordrandall]

Coupe, mini skyline FTW.

[SLeepingPanda]

Get both.

asfasfaf


That's what i did today. =)

[ayuaddict]

i think coupes look better.

but i love hatches and thats pretty much what im stuck with for the rest of my life.

so i voted hatch.

[sylsevilsis]

I fit like 10 wheels + bbq equipment + tent in my hatch easily.


Business up front, Party at the back!!

Hatch wins!!:2f2f:

[KA24DESOneThree]

I've fit 8 wheels and tires, a jack, at least two jack stands, my toolbox, helmet, full factory exhaust from the exhaust manifold back, and a bunch of track day accessories in my coupe and still had room.

Anyone who thinks the coupe lacks room has no ingenuity.

[SHIFT_*grind*]

Even though I gave my love to the coupe...that S13.4 hatch is pretty damn'd hot. :naughty:

[CrimsonRockett]

Thing is...If you're a hatch owner, almost EVERYTHING has been done.

So, if you want to be different, it's pretty damn hard.

Coupes...

Silvia fronts are burned out.

usdm front w/body kit on coupes has been done billions of times.

Personally, i'd own both if I had the chance to.

As for now, hatch fo life.

[drift freaq]

ok they are both old and done a million times , just like this thread. We are starting to go in circles here people.

[KA24DESOneThree]

how many seats were in it at the time?

As many as are needed:

One.

[Eyemfaster]

As many as are needed:

One.

i've got a couple sparco evos in my coupe, and i can't find room for more than one wheel in the trunk. how many did you stuff in the trunk?

[bardabe]

Damn, yeah that S13.4 is pretty hot, and so is the S13.5 ha ha something about a boxy front with squared ass dosent seem right, yet it looks so good wtf ha ha. but yeah I previously had a coupe and storage wasn't really a problem for me (fuck Uhaul I moved in 2 trips on my coupe lol) although being mistaken for a DA integra did piss me off sometimes......

[swiftdrift]

Okay, look at the stats.

coupes win.:fawkd:

K I think i got my answer no more running in circles. killing the coupes and hatches ppl. thread ends now =)
