I'm buying an S13 front clip. What should I get the 180sx or the silvia? Black top motor or red top motor? Is there anything else I should be looking for?

black top will be newer and most likely less miles

I totally agree, even though I personally like the red top better, the black top will have less miles, which equals less problems. Black top for sure!

Only difference is that the red top came in all the S13's except the newer 180sx (1994-1997). Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Newer might mean less miles but I'm sure you can find a few good red tops with low miles. You do pay for what you get.

Good Luck w/ SR :D

thats true, but you usually can't be certain on mileage.

There is a higher probability of getting a low mileage black top.

The colors :D , red stands out more than black.

plus the red on the redtops goes good with the red 240s and the other colors, nissan is smart :) also the reason they want more for the silvia clip is because it will likely come with fenders, bumper, hood, lights some of that anyway and 180sx is what u have now.
