Sil80 out of style now? - Page 5 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

randyjordan · 11-22-2009, 09:48 AM

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

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!!!

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.

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

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.

I won't deny that. In fact did someone say cut and weld?

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

Even I wont disgrace my car by putting a sil80 front on.
unless i go pickup.....................

***FaLKoN240*** · 11-22-2009, 11:40 AM

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.

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.

Now that I have my awesome aero I'll likely never go back to a silvia front either. Really I am just enjoying myself "kouki bashing" at this point! LOL!

i'm sorry, but if ikeya formula is your idea of awesome, i can see why you would defend sileighty's. the only reason people jock that awful looking aero is because koguchi had it on his car a long time ago.

seriously. it makes s13 look big and blotchy like a boat.

chituntang · 11-22-2009, 01:15 PM

Pop-ups are so 80's for the whole world besides the US anyways, and if the Corvettes stop using pop-up headlights now, I think pop-ups are out of style now.

Smurf_240SX · 11-22-2009, 01:36 PM

I don't know, I much rather have bone stock 240 Oneivia than Sil80...

but

kaking · 11-22-2009, 01:57 PM

Sil80's are ugly...why would you want your car round in the back and square in the front?

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???

no joke this thread is a fail i havnt been on for one day and there is 5 pages of nothing but people talking shit. this is a thread to post pictures up not bash on sil80's. most most of you dumbasses should even speak in this thread if you dont understand what a sil80 is, thats to you idiots that keep saying the sil80 front looks better on a coupe. its a silvia front on a coupe not sil80 front. idiots...

Hahahahahaha, so true!!! I'll never understand the hate of sil-80's personally. They can look just as good, or just as bad, as any other 240sx.

KansaiDrifter · 11-22-2009, 02:59 PM

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.

*Note the Side windows and rear center section of the tail lights say "SILEIGHTY" I want some! haha

and one of my favorite Sil80's of all time

The Gray Ghost · 11-22-2009, 03:12 PM

a few things:

1. yes, i am a fanboy. 2004 in the house.
2. a splitter and ducting can be added to any bumper, even no bumper.
3. it is a myth that functional and ugly go hand in hand.
4. how do you figure that because i think ikeya is bad, bell bottom is automatically good in my book?
5. sileighty looks like crap.
