[shinhed]

Welcome, it's better here.

[FRpilot]

where did you order the cwings cf hatch? import fan or another distributor? how is the fitment on it? im considering either the cwings or chargespeed cf hatch.

and where did you order your VIS OEM silvia CF hood?

[SilviaNinja240]

welcome to Zilvia, I like the pool table :)

[sil4ty]

ordered the cf hatch through importfan (GTP intern.) and the hood was ordered through chuck at showstoppers usa. the cf hatch isnt on yet..im gonna put everything on at once and paint it. hopefully in about 2 or 3 weeks.

ninja...im glad u like the pool table and not my car :squintd: :D

[TheSnail]

Welcome. What are you going to do about power? I see you have a fetish with CF, lol.

[phrozen]

u need to reinstall that radio and take off that trim piece and move the radio back a lil bit

[dvdevo]

u wnt that cf hatch thing too? hehhe lets both get it to save on shipping or something

[dr1ft32]

tyte ride yo

[TheSnail]

Did we lose our new member?

[aa87]

Where in louisiana are you? Im up in shreveport, give me a holla if ur ever up here.

[phrozen]

i cant stop looking at that deck.. horrible nice deck choice but plz fix it and recess it back more into the console

[aa87]

Also, i agree, the sil-eighty look is played out, for fastbacks, popups need to stay, its hot shit.

Sell me your hood fenders and all that :)

[TheSnail]

He must be out, one wheel drifting as we speak.

[sil4ty]

i cant move that stereo back until i get the mounting brackets. the last owner had the stereo stolen and the theif must have taken the entire stereo and mounting hardware. i really dont care...im not building a show winning car and as long as i can listen to my tunes, im happy. as far as a played out sil-eighty look, there are none here in baton rouge and its what i like.

the snail, the power is a little secret. hopefully about 2 months after i get it back from paint, ill have the car back in the shop getting the motor built. yes built...not swapped ;) wasnt out "one wheel" drifting either....had a local car meet.

[Rare]

nice removal on the rear =] looks clean

[sil4ty]

thanks...im respraying it all black when the car gets painted so it doesnt have that ugly off color tint (and so it wont rust :P )

if anyone wants to say hey or have a question...u can catch me on aim: blakob7 . im on all the time so dont be afraid to say hey

[TheSnail]

Cool, just making sure you did not leave. No offence or anything. Are your plan's to go high compression?

[Omnis]

soooo.....you live in louisiana, but you have florida plates?

[Omnis]

nice car btw. its snazzy. lol.

[kuruptR]

How much for the CF trunk, hows the structure, is it strong?
Lexan window or Glass???

[-E-]

welcome to zilvia

[sil4ty]

snail, nah im not gonna just not post here b/c someone criticized my car. :P thats real gay. nah im not going high comrpession...its not THAT different.

omnis...i live in louisiana but have my car registered in florida. insurance is very expensive here so i registered it to my parents house.

kurupt..the hatch was a little over 700 and you can use either stock glass or lexan. i choose stock glass b/c lexan is really bad about scratching and it looks like crap.

[MakotoS13]

i see quality mods. good job. that hatch is the sex, dude...

[TheSnail]

Sweet, Its is going to be bad-ass when you are done. What motor, do you want to get. I could get you some nice motors for cheap if you are interested. If you like to keep it na, I could get you a clean rb25de Neo, for super cheap. 250hp stock, slap on a turbo at 7 psi, you look at 350+.

[sil4ty]

nah...ive got it all set and ready to go. all i gotta do is give my builder the check and the keys and ill pick my car up. :) thanks for the offer tho....if you ever need to sell anything, let me know...i know a good amount of people and im always lookin for random things. catch me on aim sometime.

[TheSnail]

Thanks, I will keep that in mind. How are the seats? I also was thinking about buying those. How much do they weigh, and how is the lateral support?

[Omnis]

oh, i see. cool.

[RedSuns]

where at in La are you?

[sil4ty]

im in baton rouge

the seats are great for me. they weigh 11lbs. each and offer awsome lateral support. i autox once or twice a month and moving around in those seats is not possible. of course, i have a size 29 waist and they are even a tight fit for me.

[TheSnail]

Sweet, I will definatly look into getting a set for my self.
Thanks, Snail

[sil4ty]

no problem

[SilviaDriver]

how much did you get tha tGP sports rear visor for?

[sil4ty]

wanna say it was for a bit over 250?? i cant really remember but i THINK thats how much it was.

[Zemus]

Were did you get that sun shade CF thingy thats on the top of your hatch? Does it come in Non CF haha

[sil4ty]

LOL...sunshade. its roofline hatch spoiler. a friend of mine sent it to me from hong kong. you can buy them in fiberglass from GP Sports. theyre 300ish.

[Zemus]

yea, thats why I asked, cuz 300$ is to much for a small peice of FRP.. and I called it a sunshade because thats what MK2 Supras call it, but theirs are ALOT bigger..

Yea I like it, if It was painted..

Also are you going to paint your car or leave all the CF exposed?

[sil4ty]

paint over all my sex weave???!!! are u joking??

lol...nah im not going to paint it. my car is staying black anyway so its not going to make a huge contrast

[Zemus]

Yea.. the only thing on a car I wouldent paint if it was CF is the hood, and I might even paint that.. Showing it off like that is kinda lame.. I mean is the GTP stuff even really CF(as in CF covered), They make so much lil pointless crap at GTP thats CF its a bit excessive. I mean how much weight have you lost getting CF stuff? I would like to know

[sil4ty]

i only have 1 thing from GTP and it is FULL carbon fiber. it is not simply some overlay. nothing i have in CF is overlay. its all pre-preg material which is very strong and very light. if you can give me #s for stock weights of silvia hood, 240 hatch minus glass, and stock seats, i can tell you, roughly, how much weight will be saved. im a weight freak if you cant already tell and i love carbon fiber. anyone else think its lame to NOT paint cf b/c there would be a lot of lame people.

Hey im a huge weight freak, but CF isent always the lightest thing out their, some FRP can be lighter than CF. I mean Why a CF hatch, why not get some hood pins, Dremmel out your extra metal, and put 3/32 plexi glass on their and rivet it out, it would weight SOOO much less than your CF hatch that cost im sure near 600$, and be not much more than 100.. I mean the hood yes, ive seen 5lb CF hoods, how much does yours set you back. I mean if your a huge weight freak why do you have windsheild wipers... I dont have em.. Trust me, if you were stickler on weight you wouldent pay to lighten your car, thats the last thing you do in the weight loss for a car.

[NISMOoPW]

I like the seats, how much were they, and where did you get them? Sorry if this was already mentioned, it's been a long day and ATHF is on tivo right now...attention span is nil... :rawk: Great looking car, stick around, I'm curious about this engine... :yum:

[sil4ty]

you are right..cf isnt always the lightest thing but im not building a dedicated race car either. i enjoy showing my car as much as i enjoy autox and road racing. cf is lighter than stock and still looks nice so im helping myself in more than one category.

apparently, im not hardcore enough to take off my windsheild wipers since my car IS a daily driver.

[MakotoS13]

of course he's gonna paint the CF... cause i know where he lives!


i'm gonna snag a CF hatch some day when i get onto more aggressive body mods. you know, AFTER the car gets street legal again.

[TUnity2]

What up dude??? its tunity from NOLA. glad you finally found a good 240 site :D

[sil4ty]

hey bro! i guess you cant call it the right one unless u have been to all the wrong ones as well. :rolleyes:

Im just giving you a lil crap, dont worry, I like your rear hatch thing, never seen it before and being Unique with 240s isent a comman thing, so I give you huge props on that. And im in the same boat as you, I do hate weight. and oh yea My car is a daily driver. And rain X is my best friend. And hey CF is nice and all, and stronger, and if you lose weight along the way, all the power to you :-D

Oh yea, welcome to zilvia

[sp4rkz]

u wnt that cf hatch thing too? hehhe lets both get it to save on shipping or something


i dont get the "ghetto" ? what do u mean?

[sil4ty]

thanks for the welcome

[mad sentra]

the stock glass fits on that rear hatch? i was considering that rear hatch myself but it looks like the lexan glass is bolted every 12 inches or so..... so how on earth would you put the stock glass on there? Would it even look flush with the hatch and would you just seal it on there?....... hm.... i wonder how much the Lexan would just be......

The best idea would be to have 2 hatchs, one for racing and one for street, you get really thin plexi glass, and rivet it on to the hatch (For an example see the White JIC S13) Its like a bit thicker than paper, and you could like push on it to bend it, but it will weight NOTHING, which is why it rocks.

[sil4ty]

yea but im building up this one and for right now its a daily driver. after my motor is in and paid for, im going to consider the new 2005 mazdaspeed 6 as a daily driver and designate my hatch as a track car. that way i can get a little more extreme with things like weight and power. it all takes time and for right now, i gotta live with what ive got.

[hellion240sx]

yo im in shreveport. HOLLA! heh found someone!!!!

[S14DB]

This is soooooooo Last YEAR..
