discuss:wtf:

[KA-T_240]

what the fuck motor?


That is SOOO gay!

[WagDatto]

I hate the tails! Don't bash me too hard, but the Targa Top actually looks like it was done very well. overall, not a fan of the wtf-motor, cheap wheel choice, color of car, front end... etc etc etc.

But for hacking up the roof, they did a pretty good job of it.

[!Zar!]

The lady in that pic has no ass.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

headlights look well installed. not my style, but well put in.

[rainier]

yeah the top doesnt look so bad. has holes to reattach i believe.

not really feeling the headlights but all in all at least it has paint, and you can tell they spent money on it. not like some cars here. jjjjkkk

[LB.Motoring]

hahaha,

rear end sucks, but the fronts cool....if you wanted to spend money or something, its new who cares.


wtf motor? = Ca18 with no timing cover.

[ESmorz]

The lady in that pic has no ass.

She's white...

[hustlervibes]

It was done well it seems, but it looks disgusting. I'm not a fan of targa tops myself, but whatever. 240 is just getting ricier and ricier... I hate the media.

[C. Senor]

i'll admit it is a clean car....but still looks like total doo doo...so over all i would call that sanitized doo doo.

[91silvia]

ugly-ass sunken wheels + 8 inches off the ground = :smash:

[kingkilburn]

We have to get ricer put in the dictionary. Even ricier is a word now. lol

[theronin]

i like the front end.

[ESmorz]

The front end looks like a S13 Silvia, S14 Kouki love child.

[5t341tH]

front end looks aggressive. needs a diferent bumper. also, i like that Ttop. looks like it would be fun to have

[azndoc]

Yeah not my style.

Its whatever.

Maybe on a S14 it'll look a little bit better.

I seriously doubt it though.

[levelgx]

I dont really like it but the work looks well done.. weird though:rolleyes: props for something something hmm different

[Kaizen.]

I give it an A for effort. T-top seems well put together. Other than that Na'H!

[alindeman1989]

When will people learn, not to do shit like that!

[qt_240]

car looks terrible.. minus the T-tops.. i think it matches pretty well.. i would never do it though..

[A Spec Products]

This is from Europe

So its all good

That's their style, works for them

I'm sure they look at cars we do in USA and say the same thing

But difference is those Euro guys probably pull more girls in cars like this than we do

[buku_points]

car looks cool!

[jstn]

correct me if i'm wrong
but i was under the impression that some european 180sx's had optional targa/t-tops? i remember seeing it with german plates couple years ago
maybe i'm just imagining things?

[Addicted2Kouki]

the t-top is cool...but i would think, structurally it sucks.



wtf motor? = Ca18 with no timing cover.

thought so.

[luftrofl]

Looks very well done... but of all cars to use for a front end conversion, why that one?

[TheBigDirty]

I would never consider a build like this, but to each his own I guess.

uhhhhhhhh


duh. I know this. :D :D :D

[olah.inc]

license plate is from hungary ^^

[ayuaddict]

um.

isnt that a Galant front end?

[Neejay]

um.

isnt that a Galant front end?

cool, I thought I was the only one who caught this.

http://images.automotive.com/reviews/images/02diamante.jpg

Diamante^

And I like the whole car, minus the wheels. I think the front looks aggressive, the Targa top fits the car, and the rear tails look clean. Are those from a Ferrari or Lotus?

[exitspeed]

It's a Galant front end....

[MAGILLA]

I don't like the color, the rear end or the front bumper. I will say that the conversion doesn't look bad. Definitely good work and it looks better than some of the other swaps I have seen.

[projectRDM]

Ya, you guys are all off. Galant front end, not Daimante, and a Ttop, not a targa.

Completely different on both accounts. You might as well say it's a convertible with an Eclispe front end.

;)

You could say that too since the Galant and the Eclipse are made on the same assembly line. :D

[undesiredshoe]

Whats next, a Galant with a silvia conversion....




actually, that would be badass.

[exitspeed]

No, cause the Galant is Wrong Wheel Drive.

[undesiredshoe]

No, cause the Galant is Wrong Wheel Drive.

Ok fine, I mean Galant with mitsubishi mirage conversion.

[ZX88]

it looks nicely done. but why would you put a gallant front end on a 240?

[Bushido]

i wish my 240sx had t tops...

then i could let my barbell moustash grow out and let my mullet flow in the breeze.
while listening to tom petty - runnin down a dream, on I95, into the sunset.

[firelizard]

I dig the t-top, and the actual conversion doesn't look bad, I just don't like the overall style... purple paint, lame wheels, ugly ass ass, and the nasty front bumper.

I would love a t-top 240SX hatch (with the normal front). I'd have to get a mullet though, and paint a mural on the hood.

[gprb25]

Good work, not so good idea.

Does anyone else see the resemblance to the new mustang in the first pic?

Different wheels and kouki tails and it might look ok.

[JRas]

front end and t-top looks well done but the rear end is crap

[WagDatto]

Whats next, a Galant with a silvia conversion....

actually, that would be badass.

I drive a Galant.. 2003.. You wanna send me some Silvia parts and I'll make it work? Ooh! And then I can use those worthless FWD SR's!!

[kevtrinh]

it needs to be lowered and better fitment hahah

[johngriff]

put some equips on this with stretched tires, and you'd all have a hard-on for it.

[jackjack]

nice work. but no.......just no.

[luvsr20]

The lady in that pic has no ass.

hahahahha that's the same thing i thought as i looked at the pictures :):)

[blueshark123]

the exhaust he has on looks stupid also

[steve shadows]

aww more reasons to buy a bmw

[VROOOM]

it may be ugly but that mitsu front end fits better than half the JDM silvia front ends on this site.

[PoorMans180SX]

Seriously some of you think it looks "aggressive"?

It looks like a pig. It's ugly.

I bet it's a ten-foot car anyway, especially those tails.

Gross wheels. And no I still wouldn't like it if it had better fitment.

Ewww, way to ruin a car.

[SW20Racer]

She's white...

so is coco. how do you choose to feel about THAT? lol

front end isnt bad it just looks kinda out of place. maybe if i didnt know which car it came off of...

t-minus 10 seconds until thread is shifted to talking about zombies....9...8...7...

[Yuri]

I designed the chrome wheels on that car.
They were meant to have the spokes broken off for use as zombie stabbers.

[firelizard]

it may be ugly but that mitsu front end fits better than half the JDM silvia front ends on this site.
hah!

made me chuckle because it's true.

It's a bit better looking than a sil80 just because of the downward slope it's got going on.

[x'ed]

nice work. but no.......just no.



Exactly my thoughts, it looks well done, but, why do it?

[SW20Racer]

Exactly my thoughts, it looks well done, but, why do it?

there was a discussion not too long ago where it was mentioned that the auto industry is becoming more redundant. this is what happens when things become redundant. people will try to be new and original. some good may come out of it. but most likely it wont.

oh, and zombie zombie zombie.

[ragenasian2]

correct me if i'm wrong
but i was under the impression that some european 180sx's had optional targa/t-tops? i remember seeing it with german plates couple years ago

There was a 200sx with t-tops for sale here in Germany and the seller said he was only 1 of a 100 with the t-tops that were made. Can't verify or not but that is what he was claiming.

[Bubbles]

Ya, you guys are all off. Galant front end, not Daimante, and a Ttop, not a targa.

For all I know it could be a Ferrari front with Silverado tail lights.


The car looks like shit all around.

[andmattsayd]

that thing is confused and outta control...
but ehh. i guess its w.e. your into.

[beeracing s14]

hahahahhahahahahahahah! oh my God! lemme drink water and ill put my comment later...

[beeracing s14]

im back and this is my comment....

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

thank you!

[Palmer]

The t-tops are pretty cool, it looks like they might have used an MR2 roof? The back isn't very pretty but, niether is the front...But i guess its different strokes for different fokes.

[LongGrain]

i think the tails are fromt he jacqemond(sp?) kit.

[S13Boosts]

t top is coo&the swap but everything else is just...why WHY WHY WHY!!

[marveluz]

just needs lambo doors... i woulda said gullwing but theres no window frames




hah

[SW20Racer]

why WHY WHY WHY!!

i answered that in post # 56

[blu808]

The t top assembly is from a z32 300zx. I am surprised no one knew this considering it is a z forum.

The rear lights are actually made by a company called strostecks
They are for a z32 as well.

You`re right. The Ttop was never factory, but a Nissan dealers did this conversion using a kit from a german or swiss company. Very rare even here...

http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/3854/sxs13anzeigebyf1.jpg

And please stop talking like this about european style... :blah: The very most s-chassis cars look clean. Remember those ricer 240`s from the US. You will find cars like this in every country.

You mean strosek http://www.strosek.de/ but the lights are from a french company. Not my taste. http://www.jacquemond.com/

[azndan2]

lol that car is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooo gay...:jerkit:

[smelly240]

the german company that makes the T-Top setup braces the bottom of the car..

[Andrew Bohan]

another classic example of excellent execution of a terrible idea.

[DOOK]

I like the top... front and rear not so much on the idea, but the execution is ok... the top i like though.

[Nachtmensch]

headlights have a potential to look kinda cool imo. it just needs some aero and kouki tails or something else.

i would never do that on my own car though.

[ROUGE180]

The rear leaves something to be desired. The front ummm.. good execution, everything lines up but damn.. my piggy is rolling over right now. I wouldn't do it but props for trying something new. That purple... AHHHHHCCCKKKK!!!! No thanks.

[Future240]

looks like a lexus and a nissan had a retard baby

Most of us Europeans hate ricey cars. Even the guys on the continent!

[eastcoastS14]

lol how can any of you say this is well done...car looks like complete ass...I mean I guess the fact that shit fits together shows that somewhere along the line some type of work was put into it.....but holy fuck that thing is horrendous looking in every aspect..conversion? T-tops? wheels? paint? tails? wtf...absolute junk box, stop sugar coating it lol

[nightkid86]

how is tht mitsubishi different from 1/2 the 240s out there? Hell at least it has good paint. It's not in my tastes at all, but most of the s13s I see are rusty or flat black.

[beeracing s14]

the only best looking T-top ferrari wannabe is the SW20 mr2.
