a 97-98 front end on a 91-93 coupe
have anyone done this before ?
where u guys think i can do it and how much might it cost
this is just a thought
dont flame me for ugly drawing plz
It's been done and covered many times. Try doing a search. My guess is that it's pretty expensive to do it.

Hmm, I remember seeing a kit for this conversion it was HELLA expensive though. Give me sometime and I think I might be able to find it.

Would look nice on a coupe IMHO.

Aesthically speaking, it's *** :P
Kouki s14s have a very sharp nose. s13s (coupes or fastbacks) have fairly smooth lines. Too many years, too many changes in style. You can do it if you want, but the nose and *** just won't match up properly. I have found most body kits, placing of different noses or asses on different cars, and whatnot simply don't match.
Again, this is an opinion, so don't flame me.

if your searching for something about a conversion....you should put the word conversion in your search ;) :D just a suggestion...
Kouki S14 front on S13 Fastback (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22349&highlight=s13+s14+conversion)
Hope that helps.....

yeah I've seen more than a few threads on it, I think overall consensus is that its interesting but ultimately too ugly to bother.

i've seen quite a few pictures with kouki front on the fastback, but i have never seen people done that with a coupe
so i wonder what it is like in real life
and
how much is that gonna cost ....
lets say the S13 cost $3000 with 90000 miles on it
and the S15 front end conv is like <$3000
i think the S14 kouki front should be cheaper than S15 front , say <$2500
S13.5a cost <$5500 total with somebody saying s13 handles better than S14 and the s13 coupe looks good with s14a
best of both world ???
tell me if i do the math right ...
and where can i get it done

how about the s13 pop-up lights on an s14? i bet that would look GREAT j/k
dont remember ever seeing that, as no one to do that deserves the car

It has been done before too. It was on a silver s14...look ok imho but i wouldn't do it. it would just be a waste of s14 headlights. The pic is floating around here somewhere.

can anyone tell me silvia / 180sx or civic which sell better in japan ?
Dousan_PG

from my understanding not a WHOLE lot of civics. but they are there. not easy to find type rs and such usually. but they can be found. it is a awesome car (type r)
silvia and 180sx seem super popular
probably 180sx more then. considering it didnt end production till late 90s. silvia (s13) ended much sooner.
thats my guess.
my friends who go to japan yearly say its hard to find civics and teg type Rs. its more fun to look for those (they go to tokyo/yokohama) because all there is are skylines silvias 180sx suburus, etc.....so finding them is a challenge :p

last time i was in japan i saw ONE civic the whole time. i did see two NSXs though. lots of Skylines (fewer GT-Rs though), and lots of 180SX/Silvias. the best was the R30s and R31s.

that proves civic really sucks
the japanese already sick at them at the 80's ....
muhahaha
j/k :D
