Sil80 out of style now?

[Chernobyl]

You just don't see many sil80's anymore. What gives? Seems like around 2004-2005 everyone with an S13 was building one. Must have been a trend at the time?

Post some 2009 sil80's if you are building one.

[DJPimpFlex]

no.... thread/death

[NMs14.5kouki]

maybe people realized they dont look all that good. imo at least, i like type x hatches a lot better. i would like to see some hot sil80's tho

[ThatGuy]

You're mistaken.




They were NEVER in style.


An original Kid's Heart Sileighty might be cool, but even that is pushing it.

Well, that's just like... your opinion, man.

They were definitely more popular a couple years ago than they are now.

I agree they never looked very good. Maybe now that kouki hatch stuff is more available and cheaper, nobody bothers with the silvia front end.

Kouki hatches are definitely "in style" now.

[sileighty83]

Sileightys are always in style. I had both 180sx pop up and now sil80. Thing is people miss match colored parts or never add aero so it looks shitty.

i think the reason is because the people that thought it looked cool have all bought coupes now and moved the stuff over.

That's what I did :wavey:..

Coupes are the shit anyways..

[Chernobyl]

This thread is going exactly as I predicted. People either love the sil80 or they hate it.

Good ol' zilvia.

[ROIDMONKEY]

leave the fastback the way it comes. they sick

[FaLKoN240]

Sil80 is ugly.

It was cool when it first made it's way to America, because it was "cool & different"

Now it's old and mismatched and ugly, but it doesn't matter because there are enough mismatched and ugly cars on Zilvia to begin with.

I'm not gonna explain the history behind it.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

i think the sileighty's posted in this thread so far pretty much sum up why they suck.

[ayuaddict]

you know what i miss?

when a dumped fastback with a seafoam silvia front end on mismatched teardrops and SEs was the fucking JAM!

when everything was fun.

for this reason i miss Sil-eightys. (but thats probably the only reason).

[sacco sideways]

everyone has there own opinion, sure you may think they look ugly but thats you own opinion.

[Matej]

Sil80's are on of those trends where someone somewhere built an alright looking one, and then everyone else thought that putting a Silvia front on their fastback would make it look just as alright.

[ayuaddict]

just like the OEM kouki aero fastback thing going on right now.

[sacco sideways]

damn zilvia is so neative i bet half of your guy's 240s dont even run haha

To each their own, not my personal flavor of tea.

Agreed. Everyone has different taste, and this is what we're into. I'm sure you wouldn't enjoy people bashing on something that you like working on, wear, etc.

[g-via]

sil80 is a matter of taste

in/out of style is opinionated as some people feel strongly that the sil80 should not exist.

fuck em.

i'd rather see a sil80 than another s13.5

[KA240failure]

sil80's are cool i think they look better on coupes
but i have a hatch and want to do it
but i just think people need to upgrade there power
before they upgrade there styling ive seen to many sil80's
with stock KA's and an exhaust no cool

and this is just my opinion hate them or love them
its your car do what you like not what others like

[Chernobyl]

just like the OEM kouki aero fastback thing going on right now.

So true.

And agreed that the sil80 thing was mostly a trend with everyone following a few good looking cars (Benson) in those days.

[Rittmeister]

I've never much cared for a Silvia front on a hatch. Personal opinion. I don't think the lines of the car flow much from front to rear with the squared-off Silvia front and the sloping hatchback rear.

Popups on a hatch look best, IMO.

[NMs14.5kouki]

sil80 is a matter of taste

have to agree with this, i like sil80's better than s13.5. that blue one looks pretty cool tho.

[tricky_ab]

i'd rather see a sil80 than another s13.5

I totally agree...

[Witness]

Its like that one girl back in the day at school.....remember the one, which would look fucking bangin hot one day, and the next day you were like wtf she butt ass ugly.

That's how i feel about it i had a silvia front on my hatch, one day i liked it, the next day i hated it. I got tired and sold the front end.

[FRpilot]

i don't have a sil80, but there are some that look good. most do not, but there are a few exceptions.

i think it looks better on a stock s13 silvia bumper because it resembles a pignose bumper w/o popups instead of something bigger and boxier . (body kit bumpers or aero bumpers don't match too well with them when looking at the side).

but agreed with other people, most sil80s are ugly because they are mismatched or shitty old paint. many 240sx look like shit w/o old oxidized paint (mine included). new paint does wonders.

[z2roll4life7]

Its W/e Too me But all i can say is

POP-UPS 4 LIFE!!!

[rb25_s13*CHUKI]

I would rather go to a meet and see 100000 sil-eightys than see 1 damn ugly coupe.

Reason why coupes are harder to find than hatchs? that's cause nobody wanted a ugly piece from the dealership and they all bought hatchs Instead. thus making It difficult to find coupes cause nobody bought them.

In japan they even brought back the hatch In type-x form after the years the s13's were still in production. Sil-eighty is a matter of opinion just like how I gave my opinion on how ugly coupes are.

I could go on for days about the ugly ass coupes and cars I see at the 240 meets. But I don't.

[FRpilot]

:werd:

popups on coupes are ugly

[Ceepo]

I like this one its clean :D, but i still like popups more...

[racepar1]

I'll never get why people are so against the sil-80. Those of you who claim that it doesn't look right have your heads squarely buried in your rectums. It flows absolutely perfectly. Now that doesn't mean that you have to like it, you can go ahead and like the pop-up front better that's your choice. Fact is that the sil front is also shorter, 40lbs or more lighter, and has better cooling airflow then the pop-up front. Besides nothing looks shittier then stock USDM bumpers/aero. Most people seem to dislike the sil-80 simply because it is so played out. Well I've got some news for you, kouki aero is the new sil-80. Wanna talk about played out and uber fanboy jocked???

[S14DB]

So keeping you car stock is "played out and uber fanboy jocked?"

[tangch]

ugly or not, this topic have been discussed over and over. It is a personal preference. One day I think my sileighty(sil-forty for those who want to say it is a silvia front 240sx) and another day I will think flip up looks better. Sileighty, onevia, 180sx, S13.4, s13.5, if you do it right, they will look good. Otherwise, shitty looking car. And I don't believe there is such thing as played out, if you think sileighty is played out, I think S13 is played out too. Sell your S13 right now and get whatever new car in the dealership, and you will never get into such thing as played out.

[ESmorz]

^^dont you get it fool ? its your own opinion i think everyone is here to see some sileightys not get overloaded with people bashing on them. we understand all of you think there ugly we have heard it enough so STFU already damn !

Yes, and this is a forum so he can express his opinion. So why don't you stop telling people to "STFU" like a 12 year old girl when people don't agree with your opinion?

Have a nice day.

Oh... and sil80's are ugly.

[Otto347]

they can look good, but MY PERSONAL OPINION is they only look good with the brick headlights. Not a fan of the projectors.

[SuicidnS13]

You're mistaken.




They were NEVER in style.


An original Kid's Heart Sileighty might be cool, but even that is pushing it.


Exactly what I was gonna say.... Sil80's were never in style.....

[nieko]

sil80s are the worst thing ever thought of.....

uglier than the shit that comes out of my ass

[ZX88]

pretty much every sil 80 posted here looks like shit. sorry

[deolio]

sil80's are retarded. for all you people that don't know "why people hate sil80's" it's because the sil front totally fucks up the body lines. most of the car is triangular and smooth, but the sil front is square and sharp. just leave the god damn pop-up's alone and leave the s15 front on the s15.

/sorted

[Otto347]

I like this one its clean :D, but i still like popups more...


That thing is dope.

[Impact Black]

People can go back and forward on this. The thread was simply made to see and discuss the LIKE of Sileighty. If we needed another hate on Sil180 thread go and search and bring some threads from the dead back.

http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Rod09/Cars/Rocket%20Bunny%20UK/ESC_0060-1.jpg

new cars at dealerships can be "played out" too. haha. look at all the 350z, lancer evolutions, impreza sti,s g35s, etc out there too.

you want something not "played out" get something old and not as hyped up. or get something expensive and sold in more limited quantity.

No, USDM stock looks like shit on an s-13. Kouki 180sx aero is played out and jocked by every fanboy on earth. I was never a huge fan of it in the first place anyways so no skin off my ass.

IMO DonaBeast Sil80 looks better than the Skylineparts Sil80. Something just plan and simple and not riced out. There are good/bad looking sil80 and there are good/bad looking pop ups but who cares. All that matter to me is that I drive a 240 and i'm proud of it

[silviaguy240]

I'm not a fan of all these body kits and conversions but I do have love for the Aero Sil-Eighties -- would never do it to my car though. :coolugh:

[KOUKIboy]

show me an OEM sil-80

I don't there aren't any OEM Sil-80, Japanese drifters after fucking up their 180's found more S13 replacement parts and ALAS the Sil-80 was born, but it was never offered by NISSAN, its just like a S13.4 or S14.5 (conversions) but in my opinion I think Sil-80 look thight when done right.. ...

[chetacheese]

all sileightys must have aero. if it doesnt, it wont look right. the body flow isnt as appealing. but even with a silvia front, it doesnt match up with the rear end of the car. there still are interests in these styles out there, me being one of those people. . but if you ask me if i would build another one, probably not. although, i love the diverse options we have available for these cars. heres my sil80

^^^Thats what Im talking about!!!! Nice and clean.....Well done.....

[chetacheese]

thanks, more of the experienced/gurus of zilvia/240 scene arent too much of a fan. when i first got my hatch, i loved the silvia front end so i had to have it. but like it was said before, have to have aero. i just didnt want anything too aggressive. i like all 240's. as long as it is done right. no player hating from me. do what you like. thats what makes the 240 community different. just dont rice it out. im tired of seeing all these civics with b16's, b18's, k20's. i like seeing 240's with ka's, ka-t's, sr20's, 2jz's, a dam ls1/ls2. this is why im here.

[HyperTek]

Tasteful cars will never be out of style, just the shit ones. Even s15 fronts look good when done right imo. People tend to dislike overal if the ratio of good to bad is off, just like rx7club hates FCs with bodykits cuz theres alot of crap looking ones lol

Fact is that the sil front is also shorter, 40lbs or more lighter, and has better cooling airflow then the pop-up front. Besides nothing looks shittier then stock USDM bumpers/aero. Most people seem to dislike the sil-80 simply because it is so played out. Well I've got some news for you, kouki aero is the new sil-80. Wanna talk about played out and uber fanboy jocked???

HAahahaha, there you go again with your race car "better cooling flow" and "40lb's lighter".

If you're figuring that way, it's also less aerodynamic because you have more frontal area. And since when do people care if their car is shorter?

ugly or not, this topic have been discussed over and over. It is a personal preference.


No it's not personal preference. Sil80's are ugly. Period.

No, USDM stock looks like shit on an s-13. Kouki 180sx aero is played out and jocked by every fanboy on earth. I was never a huge fan of it in the first place anyways so no skin off my ass.

Kouki 180SX aero IS stock. Just on cars in Japan. Sil80's are the original Fanboi car "because that's what all the touge guys do in Japan!"

I haven't been in the Nissan S-Chassis all that long but I've been around long enough in the car modification scene to know and see that not everyone is good or have an eye for exterior modifications. I've bashed on peoples cars but not out load because what doesn't do it for me might be the exact opposite for the person who owns that car but like mentioned in the above replies, it is everyone elses individual opinion.

Personally, I do not like Sil80's but someone out there can build a really clean one and that person built it because that works for them.

[articdragon192]

Danny's is cool.

beyond that...


POOP.

Agreed. The lines just don't flow well. I swear, if you put a pop-up front on any one of those sileighties people have posted up, they would looks a ton better.

s13.4b on a coupe right?

because s13.4b on a hatch....:barf:

i guess it's a matter of opinion. I'm not about to blatantly say it's ugly and it shouldn't be done because I don't like it.

I like dem s13.4 zenki's tho

Again, sharp lines with curvy rear. Doesn't work. That kouki front belongs on a coupe. The zenki front, belongs on only an S14, lol

[rob22]

sil80=ugly.

[hybrid_eg]

I just love my ugly ass sileighty! I wasnt going to massacre into full type-x just to hope it would possibly cool better.. so that poop had to go to make room for Sil RAM-air front :-)

[DataXUnknown]

So many people are like "OMG FUCK SIL80 THEY SO UGLY I HATE THEM THEY DON't FLOW GO BLOW IT UP SO UGLY BLAH BLAH"

It honestly makes me annoyed. I think they look fine when done right. Although if any front end were to be changed on a hatch, I'd perfer a clean s14 kouki front.

up to you i guess.

if all we are talking about are body lines, then zenki>kouki, since the argument seems to dwell over the rectangular headlights of a silvia.

and your point is moot

[Matej]

To me, putting an S13 Silvia front on a fastback always seemed like spending a bunch of money to make your car look not better, and older.
And by older, I do not mean a nice classic/vintage old, I mean a 1989 Buick LeSabre kind of old. Then again, I know there are people who like the look of a 1989 Buick LeSabre, so to each their own.

On the other hand, I really like Levin fronts on Corollas, whether on a fastback or a coupe. Which shows it all depends on the design of the car.


Not counting 'Onevias' or S13 Silvias as conversions, the only S-chassis conversion I have ever liked are nicely done S14.5's. And by that I mean that I would drive one, but I would still never spend the money to do it.

So much hate but typical for zilvians...

Edgar- your one to talk, about not flowing with body lines.

S14.5 is ugly in my opinion. nothing says wanna be S15 then that.

I find it funny that most people that post hate on here have shitty ass cars themselves not all people but some. So don't get your panties in a bunch when some one does car building a different way then you like. :gives:

[g-via]

S14.5 is ugly in my opinion. nothing says wanna be S15 then that.



As far as body lines/length goes, S14.5 looks a lot better than any S13.5.


And onevia isn't even a conversion people...it CAME that way in some places
conversion is when you combine bodies that weren't together

[chetacheese]

opinions seem to consist of slight hostility. To each his own. I personally like the type-x style also. but if it was really thought over, gather a side view image of the pop-ups and the silvia front on a hatch. the front of the pop up fronts are flat compared to the rounded rear end of the hatch. but hey, your eyes are different than mine.

[derek_s13]

conversion is when you combine bodies that weren't together
then explain the 2-point conversion

[drift freaq]

As far as body lines/length goes, S14.5 looks a lot better than any S13.5.


Honestly I feel the opposite, but still can appreciate a decently done s14.5. LOL

Whatever you say is not going to change my opinion and I don't honestly expect to change your opinion.

I do happen to like the 180sx Kouki aero as well. Do I think its starting to get over jocked abit of late? Hell yes. It has turned into the new sil eighty thing.

Sil eighties were being jocked hard 5 years ago. Now Kouki aero is being jocked hard.

I happen to like my car, I showed it for the sake of showing how it can and does look right when done right.

At the same time I don't expect everyone to even be able to get it. Some people have an eye for stuff others don't. LOL

Zilvia is full of people that can't have a debate without thinking you hate or can't stand them. LOL

In the end some people like Chocolate some like Vanilla. Oh and this thread has veered off the main question. Is the Sil Eighty out of style now?

I would say to a certain extent because of the whole Kouki Aero thing yes.

That again is my opinion. It did not sway me from doing my car. I did my car because I wanted to. I did it right and yes I will say that because I did. I am picky that way.

Oh and I am sure someone will find a way to dis that as well. LOL

[S14_Kouki]

This thread just made me hate sil80's even more.

[Impact Black]

I've seen a only few that look decent
but none as dope as this

http://www.toysnjoys.com/initiald/03sileighty.jpg

but seriously, 99% of them look like ass

My motivation hint "Impact Black"

[randyjordan]

fastbacks are better with popups

13 coupes are good with both popup and silvia front

zenki > kouki

sil80 is the worst combination for a s13, factory wise

[racepar1]

HAahahaha, there you go again with your race car "better cooling flow" and "40lb's lighter".

If you're figuring that way, it's also less aerodynamic because you have more frontal area. And since when do people care if their car is shorter?

I care if my car is shorter everytime I try to go up a driveway with my pop-up front. In case you haven't noticed I am building a racecar, but I am not going back to a silvia front. I found something better!

No it's not personal preference. Sil80's are ugly. Period.

Yes it is personal preference and you sir are a douchebag...

Kouki 180SX aero IS stock. Just on cars in Japan. Sil80's are the original Fanboi car "because that's what all the touge guys do in Japan!"

And that's the funny part. all you idiots are freaking trampling eachother to get your hands on STOCK AERO!!!

too bad type X aero is fucking baller and pwns your face.


besides 95% of zilvia cant even afford type X shit.

First off, the vents in the kouki front bumper look like ass. Second, the way the sideskirts dip up in the middle and flare out is retarded. Third the kouki rear valence looks like ass because it's 3-piece and not very visually appealing beyond that. And don't even get me started on the dumbass looking wing. Also kouki aero is not type-x, it's just an option that any customer could order with any kouki 180sx. Oh, and BTW my Ikeya Formula full kit "pwns your face" so watch how you speak son...


All you little kouki fanboys don't like it much when someone bashes your precious stock aero do you? Funny thing is you douchebags are the ones bashing the sil-80 so hard. The difference is that I am willing to admit that my statement is an opinion, while all you idiots are too "cool" for that type of honesty.

I love S13.5s, Silk Road's time attack car is one of my favourites. I can appreciate almost any conversion (even an R32 on a vert), if it's done to some degree of detail.

Conversions are a finicky thing, as in you are changing an engineer's design into something new, and making it look good. I remember back when their were no conversion fenders for some cars, and you had to weld/cut your own fenders. You had to have your entire car planned out before you started the conversion, and it relied heavily on your automotive/trade skills to produce a badass car. Some people had great cars, but most people didn't.

Now even with conversion fenders, and other stuff, people still find a way to make their converted S13/S14's look like a "a piling of burning dick" as someone put before.


The short story?

Anyone can make anything look like ass. Almost any conversion can look cool if the time is spent to make it look cool. Converted cars need to try harder to look better then OEM cars because they are stepping outside the lines.

Hell, I am pretty sure I've seen a 350Z front end on a hatch that looked decent, but then hated all the others.

Oh and opinions are like asses everyone has one and some are complete.

[FaLKoN240]

It's funny that the only people in here defending sil80s are the people that currently have a sil80, or have some sort of variation of sil80 in their name.

To debunk kouki aero as a dumb option for your car is childish at best.

OEM aero fits perfect. Is made of almost indestructable urethane and was designed by someone with a degree in automotive design. There are some parts of the kouki kit I don't like personally. But for the most part does two things well, makes the car look BETTER and will last a long time.

I do not have a silvia front anymore, I just do not see any of the visual problems with a sil-80 that people are claiming. I never have seen anything wrong with a sil-80 and I never will. I do see multiple things wrong with kouki aero though. Sorry Scott, kouki just turns me off. I have never liked it and never will. The fact that it is OE actually turns me off even more because there are a bajillion cars out there with the exact same aero. It's just boring and palyed out.

[ericcastro]

that does not mean much coming from you Eric. LOL J/K
lol, I figured it would mean the most.
Since i am not real big on styling, have vinyl and beat the shit out of the car with no care.

But i still wouldn't go this far, lol.



Actually racepar, it does have s sil bumper on it at the moment. but still maintaining popups till i get a whole new kit.

Ikeya Formula is totally awesome. I'm sorry if I don't wanna run the stupid URAS/similar dumbfucktarded vacuum cleaner bodykits. They all look the same to me. Ikeya formula and yashio factory are my favorite aero kits ever and truthfully probably the only two kits in existence that I would buy as a fullkit. It also happens to be EXTREMELY functional. Once my splitter and ducting is in place I will have actual REAL downforce and LOTS of ventilation. Those things happen to be very important to me since my car is going to actually be fast and actually be used in competition. It's funny that you are accusing me of jocking Koguchi, but your SN is clearly hanging off Tanaguchi's nutsack. Can anyone say fanboy???

[KansaiDrifter]

Here's the OEM Sileighty, from what I understand it's kind of like how the Saleen or Rousch Mustangs are made, they get a new car, then retrofit it at a second shop that's not Nissan to make the Sil80.

I would kill myself before registering with your SN, EVEN in 2004. As a matter of fact at the first D1 at irwindale I was screaming for Tanadouchebag to nail the wall on that last run. Thankfully he didn't dissapoint.

It is only YOUR opinion that ikeya formula looks bad. I'm sure I could find a thousand people to tell you that you are an idiot. It is also only YOUR opinion that sil-80 looks bad. If you're not jocking the bell bottom look you're almost certainly ghey for kouki which is just as lame. I will continue to bash you and anyone who wants to express their opinion on sil-80 as fact because you are all dumbasses. Your opinion is not and never will be fact just as my opinion on kouki aero is not and never will be a fact.

there arn't many good examples of it. for a track/race car it'd have weight saving even better than the 40lbs you mentioned.

im half-kidding about the idea of noobs jumping onto that idea, though it still be kinda neat to see something different every now and again

[93nismo]

i, for the most part like sil80's. i dont much care for a zenki face on anything but an s14. and im not extremely fond of the s15 sil80, but i dont mind it. i think they look kinda nifty with a kouki face. but in general i like em. i dont think id ever spend the money and time puting one together tho. i dont really like the kouki s13 much either. i like my chuki s13 just the way it is.l :]

[spooled240]

I'm one of the weirdo's that like sileighties but i'm picky about it...it has to have kouki aero, bricks and an aero bumper
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h127/Ghast_owt/sileighty-1.jpg

i've never been a fan of the pignose/chuki front but a kouki 180sx with sleepy eyes is sexy

[ChicagoS14]

When done right everything is cool and kick ass, when half assed and jacked up even the sickest of parts / wheels etc will end up lookin like shit !

Sil80, S14.5, S13.4 etc etc.... no matter what or where, Nissan, Honda and so on so forth.

Plus much of it is opinion based.

[93nismo]

i guess im just really split when it comes to kouki 180's. i like em somedays and i hate em others. but just like the sil front, ill probly never bother spending the time and money to make it happen. they just look a bit odd to me

its not really a band wagon thats gonna get jumped on.
Its been around for a bit and gaining popularity.
I have been considering it for awhile now too.

just dont wanna spend the big bucks on piaa's or something that is adjustable and actually as good or better than normal headlights.

[rb25_s13*CHUKI]

Sil-eighty can Look good If done right.
s13.4 (kouki) can look good If done right.
S13.5 can look good If done right.
s14.5 can look good If done right.

Coupes will never look good.
Coupes are lame and ugly.
coupes have no room.
coupes suck.
coupes.
coupes are poop.
coupes are blah.
coupes are weak.
coupes are pish posh.
coupes look like Integra's (Yes I realize that the hatchs look similar to ford probes but probes look and r faster than Integra's.
Coupes didn't sell when they were released(thats why there Isnt that many around).

Most people hating on the sil-eighty look either have coupes or are doing the type-x conversion.

I enjoy my pop-up chuki front ends. I like pop ups. they provide wayy better lighting than any other s chassis head light. Hatchs rule. sileighty or s13.4 or .5 . All hatchs are awesome and the best.


This Is my opinion.

[msanchez]

i am soo happy i sold my silvia front. thank you jesus.

bandwagon...
msg length.

[spiderlone]

It is true that pop have better lighting-- but my customs projectors.. do the same

you know its bad when the back of a coule looks like a honda !!

lol my GF always tell me how the coupes tail lights look like accords, although i dont really think there super terrible looking i jus like the hatch better. the 180sx tails remind me of skiline tails at night sorta

mine. going back to pop ups during winter break though. i've come to the realization that a sil80 will never look as good as pop ups with a kit. :(

[Chernobyl]

Big 'bell bottom' aero is uncool now as well. We should all bash on it. By the way, I hated it first.

Agreed. I never liked that style for whatever reason.

[BLiTz]

So true.

And agreed that the sil80 thing was mostly a trend with everyone following a few good looking cars (Benson) in those days.

It always makes me smile when people mention cars I used to obsess over years ago lost in time lol. I loved Nadine and Bensons cars back then. And when I had a S13 hatch I wanted to have sil80 back then (6 years ago) as you can see from my avatar that is definitely that old also. I miss those old days of Zilvia...ahhh memories. Eventually I graduated to Kouki S14 so the sil80 never was a reality for me. I figured I didn't see them because it was just harder to find jdm front ends these days, but everybody just wants the biggest rims nowadays anyway so guess it doesn't matter.

[racepar1]

Congratulations, it seems that this thread has turned around some! Here's my old silvia front, I never did get around to painting it though. I have honestly never seen a zenki lip fit a silvia bumper so well as mine did for whatever reason...

If you name is Danny you have the magic voo-doo to make sil-80's nice if thats not you your car sucks.
Its not fuckin type x for christ sake its kouki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And stop saying sil-80 front on a coupe beacuse you sound like a dumbass its just a silvia front.

Zilvia sounds like Nico club more and more every day

[allntrlundrgrnd]

I don't care for them. I find myself unhappy when I realize an otherwise nice car is a sileighty instead of a hatch or coupe. Take this car for example at the top of the page.

http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa291/sr20drifter1/1230233912.jpg

If this had kouki(type-x for dummies) front with lip OR was a coupe with chuki sides it would look 10x better

[aa87]

I picked up my car with the paint on the hood like that and sileighty, worked with it though changing up the aero

regardless of all the hateration, i still like sil80's.. i think its a lil bit different. That doesnt necessarily mean i dont like kouki, or chuki, or s13.5, s13.4 etc i like all of those. the s chassis in general is badass, and all forms of it.. isnt that why we're all here in the first place.. i honestly dont see the point in trying to argue amongst eachother with hopes of possibly changing others opinions. let everybody do what they like.. i would actually prefer if everybody didnt do the same thing.. diversity in the scene is what keeps it interesting to me.. if every day was cloudy it would get old very quick. just my .02

like dave said. i second to that. just do it right and dont listen to all people says that sil80 is ugly. you are the one paying for your own mods so be happy with it. otherwise FUCK OFF.

[mrmephistopheles]

Sil80s stopped being cool in 1993.
They stopped being cool in the US in 2001-2002.

They're hard to pull off without looking like a dickwart, and the vast majority of people who do it just slap it on and never paint or do bodywork, and think that it looks cool*.

*myself NOT included. Yes, I had to put Silvia front on my 180 after I crashed it, but it was 1000% because of lack of funds and apathy. I MUCH preferred my 180sx front end (and was able to salvage the hood at least), but I was able to get the fenders, bumper, headlights and brackets for free, and I didn't want to put any more money into that car before we came back to the US.

Really? IMO the pic with the lame ass body kit looks more like a dickwart. The sil-80 just needs paint, and a front lip spoiler. Of course in whatever year that picture was taken that bodykit probably wasn't so lame as it is now.

[donabeast]

Look at dat fya ass rear camber y0!

LOL your right it dose look a little off in the pic but good thing i added the dis clamer of ''ITS NO WHERE NEAR DONE YET JUST TOGETHER ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN'' good thing you pointed that out here in the sil80 thread befor i noobed it up and posted it in the wheel fitment thread man your a life saver thanks

[CamryOnBronze]

It's all just a matter of taste IMO. I think some cars do it well, but I agree that most are just slapped on- which would make any car look bad, not just a sil80.

I'm not even sure why a 180 with kouki aero and a 180 with a silvia front are even being compared in the first place... one is a set of factory accessories and the other is a front end from a totally different car. It doesn't make much sense to me... but I guess it is because they are both considered "fads."

I also don't see why anyone feels they need to defend themselves in this thread or on Zilvia as a whole- just build your car the way you want to. I personally:

1. Just got a 240 a year ago (fanboi).
2. Wanted to make it a sil80 back then (loser).
3. Am now going with full kouki aero (fad following bandwagon BH nutswinger.)

Just do what you like, lol.

[racepar1]

I think it's stupid how everyone seems to consider a front end that needs paint "slapped on" or "poorly done". I have seen a lot of silvia front ends on a lot of cars and most of the ones that are painted are barely attached in the first place and poorly aligned. That is what I would consider "slapped on" and "poorly done". My old front end may have needed paint, but it was hardly "slapped on". It lined up as perfect as perfect could be and was completely and sturdily attached to the car. So what if it needed paint? Most 240's in existence need paint. I just think that people's perception of "thrown on" and/or "poorly done" is completely off base.

Sil80s were the shit
Then coupes were hot for a while
then kouki S14 were the shit
then snowplower bodykits were it

I think we can both agree that most would not consider a car that is 3+ different colors to be clean. I was referring to the difference between a car being clean and not being clean. Sorry I wasn't specific enough, but I wasn't out to define the phrase "slapped together" with my post. :)

I'm not really specifically singling anyone out, just a general statement. In the end it is only really because it is a picture. I have had a lot of people tell me my car is a POS online, but none have said that after seeing the car in person. I guess the needs paint = POS thing has always bothered me because I put soooo much work into the mechanical side of my car, but not much into aesthetics.

Just to start 40lbs is hardly a cunt hair. Second my little KA powered sil-80 would have absolutely wiped the floor with whatever you are currently running, and I have the results to back it up kid. Ignoring suspension geometry is status quo for stupid drift kids and zilvia fanboys. Congratulations you qualify! You may not take your car seriously, but I do son.

i have a friend that has a sick sileighty to be honest i like the way it looks but for me if i want i silvia ill go for a striaght s13 or s14 but the hatch looks really good on 180sx look only.

the hatch looks really good on 180sx look only.

wow.... that's zen right there
