CLK80 - mercedes front conversion

[MELLO*SOS]

Ripped from Auto-Otaku...


CLK80 and "Evolution Q"

It's hard to think that the Nissan S13 is going to be 20 years-old next year, but despite its age, the venerable S13 Silvia/180SX/200SX/240SX continues to be one of the most popular platforms for drift/grip/drag and virtually any other form of motorsport worldwide. There are few things that haven't been done to the S13, and the car continues to evolve with no signs of stopping. We have seen every kind of motor imaginable under the hood, and cosmetically the S13 has been mated with everything from 350Z, to Ford Mustang, to 240Z. The latest S13 conversion can be found on the cover of the December issue of Drift Tengoku magazine.

As long as you could make it look like that picture, then I would say tits. Hell, looks better than an S15 front.

[Gjohnson7]

Looks unique. I still like the S15 front end better.

[LimitedEdition]

SUPER TITS.

I <3 it.

Do it. Its pure sextasy.

[MELLO*SOS]

I think it's pretty unique too. But I'd get rid of the Mercedes emblem!!

[yota man]

Yea it would defiantly be better without the emblem.

[SHIFT_Slide]

Yeah it's unique but IMHO it's pretty ugly. But then again I feel that a hatch looks best with popups. To each his own I guess.

[CrimsonRockett]

That actually does look good.

Unlike that 240 with the Camaro front.

That was just...ugh.

[nissanguy13]

Ass, I've never liked the mercedes front end though

[mr_240sx]

i think that looks hot!!! its been professionally done and it shows!!!! id say remove the mercedes logo and add in a burger logo from the murano or something liek that!!!

[Farzam]

Mooooar piks

[GabeS14]

More pics would be great,
But that shiet looks sexy as hell!!!
but it would definitley need the deep dish wheels and supreme bodywork to look good.

[SexPanda]

I dont like the mercedes front end, but that would make one hellova VIP ride...

minus the mercedes benz emblems...

[projekt_s13]

It looks pretty good. Imagine what the bitches would think if you rolled up to the club in that. So it has looks of a luxury car and the ass of a late 80's car, reminds me of hollywood.

[s13Dr1ft]

Funk Fakin.
msg

[Kn1ves]

i want to see one with USDM Integra front end instead. on a hatchback.. with Integra tail lights.

[CKAMC]

I swear thats an aristo front end ;)

not bad, need more/bigger pictures to help tell if its good or gaudy.

what shop did this?

[Jimmy Up]

i like it, i think it would look better on an s14 but its still pretty sick

[s13speeddrft]

although done very nicely and fabricated well, i have never been a fan of mercedes front ends, so i give it thumbs up but have to say no

[Matej]

Don't care about the conversion but those rear fenders are awesome! Anyone know what they are, or are they custom?

[yokotas13]

you asshats
i bought the mag yesterday, ill scan some pages and put em up for you

[jdm538]

i would do that conversion on a zenki s14.

[Matej]

you asshats
i bought the mag yesterday, ill scan some pages and put em up for you
Rear fender pics please thank you. :bigok:

[cxlo8331]

looks kinda neat.
a bit confused, but neat. need more pics, but yeah, loose the emblem.

[MELLO*SOS]

you asshats
i bought the mag yesterday, ill scan some pages and put em up for you

Please do :)

[lflkajfj12123]

i hope thats an s13 hatch <3

[yokotas13]

Please do :)
when i get home i will!

[pluyee]

shoulda done a G35 front, if you imagine the headlights in place of those, the lines kinda look like G35 especially the grill

[MELLO*SOS]

^ it's been done. Well sorta... daijiro inada's stream z gt jr...

http://images.turbomagazine.com/features/0708_turp_05_z+nissan_240sx+drifting.jpg

Now stay on topic, this is about mercedes on schassis hotness.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

kinda cool cuz i've never seen it before. now it's old dumb!

[KA24DESOneThree]

G35/350Z hatch- looks like shit.

CLK front end on a 180SX- anyone else remember that CRX at... HIN, was it? This is better-executed, but just as rice.

The Japanese S-chassis guys can do anything and get away with it as far as the bandwaggoners over here are concerned.

[drift freaq]

As long as you could make it look like that picture, then I would say tits. Hell, looks better than an S15 front.

I think you need to consult a doctor. LOL look better than a S15 front end! Ya right.

edit: never mind its lost on people who don't understand design lines.

[HKSdrift3r]

i see an x .. :(

nvm, looks tits!!

[wannabe_drifter]

Z front end looks like crap on the hatch (looks kind of like a photoshop, the photo is just weird)

But the Merc on hatch... I dunno... I like the way the merc front looks but I can't tell really cuz I can't see enough of the S13, It seems to look pretty good though.

I am gonna agree with the other guy that said the merc emblem has got to go... It looks good but its not a merc

[JRas]

I think it looks decent, but I don't like the idea of making a Nissan look like a Mercedes like how you can make an MR2 look like a Ferrari. Whats the point? I'd rather stick with a Nissan design or design my own.

[wannabe_drifter]

Good point ^^ !

Though I guess its getting boring to see a fuckload of straight 240's/nice to see something new.

[RUTH'LESSDET]

I says it super BALLER those parts grill eggheads lights etc are gonna cost a bit....Id hate to see you bang those up drifting!!

[UfoZ8myCow]

It looks pretty dope in that one picture. Id lose the Mercedes star though, dont be a poser.

Unique? Yes.

Cool to look at? Yes.

Would I ever do it? Nope.

[LimitedEdition]

the hatch with a Z front is real.

if I remember right, Top Secret had their hands involved.

[lflkajfj12123]

wheres the pics. slackers!

[qwikspool]

:bigok: looks nice.

[Matej]

the hatch with a Z front is real.

if I remember right, Top Secret had their hands involved.
Dai-chan actually has two of them, one for street and one for drift, though it seems he drifts both of them now. Personally I think they're both ugly and stupid haha.

[MELLO*SOS]

Never seen the green one..

Snowy240sx maybe you should neg rep Drift Tengoku also for putting it on their cover? LOL..

[20 til 3]

Never seen the green one..

Snowy240sx maybe you should neg rep Drift Tengoku also for putting it on their cover? LOL..

the green one is the same as the orange one i believe... unless someone is making the full kit

[B18C5MK1]

agreed. post rear fender pics!

[MELLO*SOS]

the green one is the same as the orange one i believe... unless someone is making the full kit

The article I read says that they are selling it as a kit, or rather they are selling complete cars like that.. I forgot the details.

Yokota.. scans? :)

[yokotas13]

[Farzam]

clksx looks kinda weird

But I kinda like it...

Idk

[yokotas13]

i better get reps for that shit btw

[ThatGuy]

Grant, you should be neg repped for posting that.

The only nice part of that car is the Equips on the rear.

Everything else is :barf:

[smellslikecurry]

shits gully...i like it



but i cant wait to see it hit a wall...

[PoorMans180SX]

I think you need to consult a doctor. LOL look better than a S15 front end! Ya right.

edit: never mind its lost on people who don't understand design lines.

^^+1

The front end doesn't look so bad, but the rest?...bleh

[IIIXziuR]

Sweet Hot Import Nights style!!!

I'd rather just drive/drift a regular CLK.
Front end conversion like this are kinda tacky IMO.
Drifting MBs like that would be sweet though.

[MELLO*SOS]

^ baller much? hehe

I liked the front end at first, it is unique.. But after seeing sides/rear... http://purplemermaid.net/images/smilies/puke.gif =/

[allntrlundrgrnd]

imo it would look decent if the rear fenders flowed with the body more, the bottom left pic looks whack

[IIIXziuR]

...But Hey I guess you gotta give props to the dudes for even taking the time to toss this together!

[GabeS14]

I love it, thats sexy as hell Id call it
CLK180 :bow:

[wannabe_drifter]

Looks nice but the tails just don't belong there !

Rear fenders are too big and weirdly shaped !

[azndoc]

I dig it.

I swear our imagination sucks.

I'd do it, but I'm sure it's a pretty penny to do so.

[k's_silvia2.0]

Man people must be really tired of how a stock 240 looks.
Well I guess you gotta switch it up when the car is 17 years old.

[yokotas13]

20 bro

20 years

[k's_silvia2.0]

^Im going off 89 s13 chassis.
*edit*I realized Japan had em before us.

[lflkajfj12123]

i wasn't to impressed seeing the rest of the car

keep the rear end stock with kouki lights and overfenders with the front and it would be the sex

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

bippu style.


real bippu style. hooray. looks okay.

[Bushido]

terrible fucking idea. and everyone that voted "yes" may be retarded.

[GabeS14]

Looks nice but the tails just don't belong there !

Rear fenders are too big and weirdly shaped !

well I think they meant it to
#1fit the enormous wheels,
#2 give it the VIP look, wide bodied
I like it.
Hey Yokotas any specs on the wheels?
did i miss them?

[adrians_s13]

gross...

reminds me of all the custom civics that used to put non civic front ends back in the 90's...

[worangejuice]

super cool!!!now let's see the Merc with the flip up lights or the Silvia S14/15 lights!ha

[EDacIouSX]

i will NOT be surprised if i see that car in fast and furious 4.

[AznDrftr.]

so purttty..

[yokotas13]

well I think they meant it to
#1fit the enormous wheels,
#2 give it the VIP look, wide bodied
I like it.
Hey Yokotas any specs on the wheels?
did i miss them?
from what i can tell
11j -20
265/35 on the rear

+1.

that shit is HORRID. and we complain about ricers over here ruining the S-chassis......

[eulalia]

reminds me of all the 300c trying to be phantoms, just not happening

they pulled it off real nicely, i have to give them that, 95 percent of the shops out here wouldnt get close to making it look that nice

[explodingbbq]

+1.

that shit is HORRID. and we complain about ricers over here ruining the S-chassis......

At least it was well executed. Its not like it has a primer paint job and some sportmax 16x6 wheels or anything.

[JeremyR]

FUCKIN SERIOUSLY, thats all the rage in the bay, every douche with a 240sx has sportmax and primer, LAME

i second that.

[Hooorahh!]

wow ! thats tits ... how much we looking to do that ?
i might want to get a fastback soon

[Sonic Motor]

FInally, some ppl understand that you need a merc to pick up chicks !!!

drifting merc = tits and ass ;)

[KwKouki]

I like it without the merc badge.

[drift4saki]

I like it without the merc badge.

+1
But I only like the front end of it, and i'd personally like to see it on a coupe...

[widegts]

i love it !!! i do conversions and i totally appreciate that workmanship!

but for me, HELL NO, no more widebodies haha, motor, suspension, sick fast and handle bomb, haha thats me now.

-=ox maintenance sometimes of widebodies are retarded for being daily driver.

---

show car only? why not... it doesnt get driven anyways!

[andmattsayd]

its either soooper amazing or just flat out retarted
and to me its amazing!!!! haha
i actually like it.
thats bad ass.

[mRclARK1]

I think it's pretty unique too. But I'd get rid of the Mercedes emblem!!

My thoughts exactly.

[Outrider]

Awful. You don't mix Mercedes and Nissan. Ever. I don't understand what people are thinking when they do stuff like this. At least pull off the damn Mercedes emblem. It is NOT one. Just stick with intra-company conversions. Don't make bastard children.

[graysil80]

what kind of rear fenders are those i want them

[Pblesh85]

It reminds me of Michael Jackson. What is wrong with pop ups or the silvia front. Keep it OEM. And not s14/s15 that just looks gay.

[gotspins13]
