that car is pretty lame. I really dislike the s15 face on anything but the s15, its an auto, and his suspension sucks.

Suspension:
Progress Sport Springs
A’pexi Carbon fiber strut tower bar

Now I guess the engine is cool but he really hasn't done anything but slap a turbo kit on there. I think I'm so used to seeing people completely strip their car, repaint, and rebuild with things like $2,000 dampeners and huge brakes, and still do a better job on the engine that this car is just "meh".

Edit: just looked at it more, he really went all out on those OBX racing seats and Xplode subs <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/dozingoff.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':zzz:'>

Well....you can give this guy some credit for doing something to his car. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'> He probably was not that lucky to find a 5-spd or doesn't know how to drive stick nor do a swap. The car does seem alittle out there, and its not the only car I have seen with the exact same setup (front end, body kit, and spoiler). I wouldn't mind a S-15 on my car since its the closet I will ever get to owning a S-15, plus those headlights are sexy. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'> The color scheme is bad, and his choice for subs (Sony) wasn't really all that good. But its his car, and I think that its nice and decent. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>

I think the only car that I really like with the same body kit, spoiler, and front end is the car in the Dec. 2001 issue of Turbo. But don't quote me with the flaws on that car. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'>

Here's (http://www.coursevector.com/silvia/) one of my favorite s13's. Unfortionately he hasn't done suspension yet, but damn, it's the nicest looking s13!

That S15 conversion get's a big enthusiastic thumbs up from me!!! &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp;Unfortunately the car is auto though. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> &nbsp;Also I don't really like what he's done w/ the rest of the car, but damn, that body is sexy!

sorry Irena.

It's just most of these guys weren't reading...
sorta stereotypical of me to say something like that.
I apologize!!

but honestly.. people, read the entire article first.
and I know lots of girls who drive manual. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

some of you are quick to jump and hate on this car, but I think its much better than what you got anyway. thats my 2 cents.

no. i really apologize for that comment.
it was quite stereotypical.

of course, i know a guy who drives an auto. but at over 300hp and 300lbs/tq, no one complains &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

Thats to bad that a majority do not like the car. &nbsp;However for me that will be the basis for my car. &nbsp;Emphasis on basis. &nbsp;I personally really like the front end conversion. &nbsp;That will definatly be part of my project.

Wow, finally some one caight it that it was a girl....her name is Julia. She lives in Orlando and works at a place called "Racing Zone"...pretty nice place, but expect to spend big bucks to even think of getting help from them. I've been there a few times and seen the car.....it's pretty cool.....for a show car. That's it main purpose for existance.....only for show.

She has tons of sponsorship...that's why the plans of hers to toss the XS kit for a new S15 motor pretty soon (if it hasn't already been done)....must be nice <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'>

It still akazes me the most omportant aspect of the 240, the suspension of course, was virtually untouched....what a shame.....still nice though <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

I was surpised to see all the people hating on this car when they didnt even fully read the artical. There are multiple times it points to be a girls car. And at the end there is a link to her site. If you check that out and look at the car you can see all the mods there to. Plus it has ugly rims on it on her sitel.
I personally love the S15 conversion and had major goals of that being part of my project. That is tell I watched option video 34 and about wet myself over a black S13 in there. It has the sleepy eye look and all. Its so nice. Well back to the point, I give her props and hopefully we will see more girls in our scene. As long as there not as mean as s13grl &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

I just want to point out that I never said I disliked the car, just the fact that it's an automatic. Personally, I just can't stand driving an automatic. Every car i've owned has been a standard, and it'll be that way for quite a while if I can help it.

I think the car's pretty well done. Maybe overdone in certain areas (rims), but it's well done, and I give her props. I wish there were some girls around here that knew shit about cars... I'm not being stereotypical, I just live in an area where all the chicks are freakin stupid and hang off of the football players nuts.

I guess I can respect it as a show car. But its like she went all out on some stuff and then skimped to get it finished (obx, sony) Still s15 front's look weird on anything but an s15. But if you don't give a damn about smooth lines then go for it.

Still, car's are to be driven...they are to be driven hard or not at all, so to own a car like that just doesn't make any sence to me. Not that there's anything wrong with show, but you have to have the go to back it up, and there weren't any performance mod's done to that car that didn't serve to make it look prettier too. It should have bride or sparco seats, orion subs, a B&M short shifter (not this pussy auto) and some nice coilovers...if it had all that then I would respect the car.

BTW, I looked at all the pics and read all the mods, that gave me all the info I needed to make a judgement on the car <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
Plus I'm too lazy to read the whole article.

not bad for a girl...

I bet she didnt work on her own car and do all the work herself. &nbsp;its a pretty car.. but, thats about it.. the car is just a sitting peice of fiberglas that i'de destroy within a couple days if I attempted to REALLY drive it on the streets of LA.

what a waste though, go through all that trouble to go turbo and STILL no manual... damn shame...
