What to do what to do..... Coupe or Fastback

[West]

I know this was just brought up but I realllllly cant make a final decision on wether or not to get a Coupe or Fastback.

Reasons I want a Coupe
1. HUD
2. Silvia Front End Swap would make it a official Silvia
3. Coupe's are more rigid as far as chassis

Reasons I want a Fastback
1. 180SX Taillight
2. Silvia Front End would make it a Sil-80 <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
3. Hatchbacks are ez to find.

Im sure there are other reasons but I cant think of em right now <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Coupe is prettier.

Trust me, I have one! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

And you can play with the rear tailights more.
And they weigh less (minus the big piece of glass)
And you can get interesting body kits and rear wings for it.

What can you do with the tallights besides make them half clear half red?

i would get the h/b for a 91-93, but not mess w/ the tails. i just find that i really like the modded h/b's better for those years, plus the sil-180 is sweet.

I saw a picture of a Supra tailight conversion, a guy with Skyline tailights, and not sure what else. I think those are the only two. And half red/half white looks sweet too.

Get the HB. Has cleaner, sportier lines. The 180SX tail's are just awesome. Not to mention, like you said, it's a #### of alot easier to find one.

If I had the money for the conversion, i'd go for the coupe and have a silvia for myself <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

honestly, i'd just get the best one for the $ cuz i'd be cool w/ either of them, they both have their good points.

Get the HB! more trunk space and you can put a nice sounding system in there. The HB has the rare clean lines of a water drop

i'd pick the coupe. i'm not biased towards the coupe or anything, i actually own a fastback, but if i were going to fix one up totally for looks, AND make it fast, i think it would be kind of different to use a coupe to do those conversions.

for racing i would go coupe due to it weighing less (as s13 girl stated) hud kinda sucks unless you know how to fix it (mine was broke but now is fixeded)

coupe is nice for a silvia swap and conversion.

fastback is cheaper due to it not needing that much body mods cept for the 180 lights which i like. all you need is basically a sr and bam!

i like both for diff reasons i want a fb to add to my coupe. then again i also want a nx2k and a se-r classic would also be nice. and a s15 silvia and a skyline. (dreams........gets interupted while dreaming as i stare into wallet and see nothing but dust and i look over @ my table and see bills piled up:()

not only are 240 kinda rare, coupes are rarer, thats why i got one, i dont want the same car as anyone else.

clearcorners.com has a full clear conversion, but it's illegal. so what.

coupe all the way, i like 91+ f/b but coupes are still the shizit.... boay

You should get the coupe, it's better looking and not so common, the hatch is about all I ever see (including S14's.) &nbsp;Even if they are harder to find, I have one.

[dmaestro]

Coupe. &nbsp;Especially if you are going to get a S13 conversion. &nbsp;Although Hatchbacks look awesome if you get JDM 180SX taillights, dont get a S13 conversion if you get a hatch, it looks dumb IMHO.

If you get a coupe go S13 (Which I think you should because you dont seem like a hatch type of guy <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> )

If you get a hatch go 180SX style. &nbsp;And dont get a front-end light conversion.

i don't know as in putting a phat ass sound system in your fastback..because of all that glass and your Subs and AMps are right there and one clank and they are gone...yup thats too bad..thats why...

i dont think that that lil extra weight in the back would be so bad........ to make that weight ratio perfectly equal specially if ur doin the sr20det swap

it would just be cool to say &quot;I have 50/50 weight distribution, what about you?&quot; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

i like the coupe.. its more rare.. sooo hard to find.. fastbacks are all over the place.. thats why i ended up with a fastback

[HippoSleek]

fastback with black roof - some guy in CA has one... it is amazing what it does for the looks
