OK heres the deal, I love S13 silvias, in a perfect world i would like to get a coupe and to a sr and silvian front end conversion. but my problem is i cant find any good coupes around here i im afraid i might have to go with a fastback (dont get me wrong i love em both) so i was wondering what a hatch with the silvia front end looks like. thanks :)

just cause i like silvias does not mean i am trying to jump on a new trend or somthing, if that was the case i would get a honda.

lol
dude dont be so serious
sil80s are choice of newbs
its hte new honda
sr + silvia fascia
hence the reason silvia faces went from 700-1100 in the past year
please, so many kids are dumping honda for a 240sx it IS the new trend. look at any magazine. a monkey w/ a joint would figure it out.

Man Hondas suck! I heard in Super Street that RWD was better, and that 240's were the new thing, so thats why I got mine. Plus the JDM engine and JDM bodywork is the best for drifting. Oh I heard that Dorifto means something like Drifting but its they japanese word or something. Man I could get a converzynn fron end, a JDM silvia motor, and my car for like $3000! And it will be a total drift machine!
Anyone who thinks that 240's are not the new bandwagon should shoot themselves in the face 3 or 4 times... welcome to rice-induced reality. Heck, i'm not saying its a horrible thing, I mean because of it, there are a lot more products and/or japanese companies sprouting up in America, but it is naive to deny the fact that 240's (and AE86) are the new 'thing'. What's next? old sedans that start with a C...

i Know they are the new thing, i was just pointing out that it was not my reason for wanting one (ive actually wanted one for a couple years now, i just now got a job good enough to get one, i drive a festiva right now if that says anything :eek: )

****, now I have to save for that? :p
:p <- does that not look gay as hell?
These guys are right though. You probably wouldnt be looking into this if it werent for Super Street and the bandwagon going down your street. Hell, I wouldnt either actually :P BUT! The main thing to do is search. Google, Yahoo, whatever. There is tons of **** on the net. I just cant seem to remember any of the sites. http://www.djelektrique.com/ would be a good one, guy in the force in Japan. Meh, thats all I can think of right now

he could easily search for the pics, either type sil-80 or sileighty or something like that in our search feature, or maybe even try the gallery on the main page, or use googles image search.
it would be a lot quicker than waiting for one of us to reply and post pics.
With that said heres one for ya

for a guy whos wanted a sil80 for a couple years, you'd think he's able to search the net and look for images in those 2 plus years

round and round
what goes around
comes around
its all the same
hahahhahahhahahha, let me see how many times in the last week, have I seen a thread about sil eightys and pics? HMM search function?
Seriously though XHdriver , these guys have a point. hell I have a point right here.
I've been into these cars for years and guess what I just started taking a liking to 2nd gen MR2's i.e. 94's:D Black ones;) :D :p :cool:
Though they are right his question did come up like a bandwagon jumper and if he had used the search function or just browsed a little he would have had his answer.
The longer you've been around the more jaded you get comes with the territory.

sorry i asked a question... i dont claim to be a expert on silvias, ive wanted a 240 for a while now, but up until recently i did not know they actually made a sileighty, I just wondering if they looked good or not... i was at work and dident have the time to look through all the s13 pictures to see if its a sileighty, i just check on the forum every once in a while. my friend showed me a silvia before i ever set eyes on a issue of super street or sport compact. im not a magazine reader and i dont do things to "fit in".
anyhoo with that said... i thank you for taking your time and posting those pictures

I actually like this pic:
http://www.djelektrique.com/ebisu/track3180.jpg
Nice motion cues in the picture. Off center placement and angle of the car makes the pic very dynamic.

This one is supaclean IMO.

V-Ed, don't pay any attention to Dousan. He obviously is need of therapy. His newbys comments are nuts!
Sileighties ROCK! Nothing nicer than a S13 Silvia front end on a 180SX rear! It is the BEST part of both cars!
Here's mine! It is before the BOMEX front was installed.

02-23-2003, 05:35 PM
YES my newb comments are nuts. in due time you'll see i know a bit about 240sx that'll help you. espeically if it involves LSDs, drifting and wheel setups.
im a jerk. haha
my favorite sil80. this his how it should be. good paint job, no spoiler, gtr wheels. prefect. i would prefer s13 aero SS though

Thanks guys, ok i think i actually like the sileighty better then the silvia now... :) which is pretty damn cool cause nice coupes are hard to find around here. Anyhoo Dousan since you know a bit about suspension, do you know it the apexi world sport coil overs
are any good? or should i just save up and get some zeals B6s?
Eventualy i would like to start autocrossing. secondly anyone know about pana sport wheels, i love those things, and would like to have them but i havent heard much as far as quality for racing goes...
p.s. i like your car gladhatter!
:)
later...

Thanks guy!
I need to get updated pics and some of the one my son drives as well. It is BAD!
I have different wheels and front end. It also has a blown engine at this time. New one to be installed within a week.

The Sileighty is 10 times cooler than the onvia! Even the the one with the black hood!
Onvia? May it NEVER be!! :D

dont get ws. POS coilovers. a few guys here have htem. no upper pillowmount and if you dont remove one part of it it will snap in 1/2 sometmies on freeway. NOT cool. trust me.
go balls out w/ B6 or save some money and get a great setup w/ JIC FLT A2
dont get HEs. ihave them.
panaort, check the thread going on right now about it.
you can get tons of toerh lightwieght flashy nice wheels too, so dnt think just paansport. check out volks as well.

do we really need another Sil80 over here? Was it two years ago that you were able to count the number of cars with "silvia" front ends and sr20dets on one hand?
Time to sell my car.

Id like to see some updated pics of your car gladhatter, sucks about the engine though :(
thanks for the advice on the coilovers Dousan that would of been a bad mistake...
the reason i like the pana sports is cause i want a low key look, if im running around on TE37s of RGs itll be a little more obovious, plus there alot more expensive... i was thinking of gram lights also, those werent priced to bad...

THAT is a sweet Sileighty!! Glad Jr's is very similar to that but the grill louvres are black, it has Kouki tails, five lug spindles& rotors and Skyline brakes with GTR wheels on the front with P-1s on the back, and it has a GT wing.
Sharp ride!

Hey now, what is the problem with onevias?? That is what I am rolling. That is very unlikely to change unless one of you wants to pay for a conversion and a decent paint job.
Sileightys are dope and this "240s are the new rice" thing really is not. Just build your car for yourself and F*** the rest.

one via !! thats what im lookin for..
seriously .. the S13 front end looks lika ASS =)
the 180 front is some much sportier.. i mean dont get me wrong its nice.. but c'mon most ppl just like it cuz its " JDM only "
its like the LEVIN and Trueno for corollas..
truenos are so much better looking levins look like camrys or something euchk..
sileighty's are pretty tight. but the 180sx just looks better the way it is imo. the s13 front end belongs on the s13. it looks soooo nice as a coupe. just my opinion tho.
and yea, 91CRXsiR, i think truenos look so much better than levin. levin's just dont' look right, haha. gotta have the flip up lights too.
