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

Chernobyl · 11-21-2009, 11:55 AM

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.

no.... thread/death

NMs14.5kouki · 11-21-2009, 12:01 PM

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** · 11-21-2009, 12:01 PM

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 · 11-21-2009, 12:16 PM

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.

ZilviaKid · 11-21-2009, 12:20 PM

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

hatch- flipups
coupe-silfront

sacco sideways · 11-21-2009, 12:29 PM

That's what I did

..

Coupes are the shit anyways..

Chernobyl · 11-21-2009, 01:10 PM

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

Good ol' zilvia.

ROIDMONKEY · 11-21-2009, 01:11 PM

leave the fastback the way it comes. they sick

***FaLKoN240*** · 11-21-2009, 01:25 PM

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 · 11-21-2009, 01:29 PM

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

ayuaddict · 11-21-2009, 01:44 PM

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 · 11-21-2009, 01:50 PM

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

Matej · 11-21-2009, 01:54 PM

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 · 11-21-2009, 01:58 PM

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

sacco sideways · 11-21-2009, 02:01 PM

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

***Future240*** · 11-21-2009, 02:02 PM

^negative

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

Impact Black · 11-21-2009, 02:03 PM

I'm currently in the process of putting mine together.
Yes its mismatched right now, but it is going to paint and body soon, as well as the kit.

Should be finished come March

Impact Black · 11-21-2009, 02:07 PM

This is a guy in TX. Sick car! I was going to do this paint job, until I saw he did it. Only diff was I was going to use the actual Kawasaki candy plasma blue paint, which is a flat candy blue.

Ceepo · 11-21-2009, 02:19 PM

^ ugly ugly ugly ugly!!! silvia frontends are only allowed on coupes!!! s13 hatch should only stay pop up nothing else, no s14 front or s15 front just pop up...

sacco sideways · 11-21-2009, 02:23 PM

^^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 !
