fastback or coupe

[danwagar]

what do you guys think is better the coupe or the fastback.  i am prolly gonna do the silvia conversion but i have only ever seen it done on the coupes has anyone done it on the fastback also? hmmmm.

[LanceS13]

Silvias only came as coupes.  JDM fastbacks are known as 180SX's and look just like our fastbacks.  Putting the Silvia front end on a fastback creates what's known as a Sil-eighty.

also, I've amost always seen it done on fastbacks here in the US...as it seems like 2/3 240's are fastbacks.

To Lance and 240 u listen!
Like Yoda I sound... heh, wow, I"m drunk...

anywayz... I have a hard time taking your post seriously... that's not a flame, just that your question is very vague.

What is your definition of "better"?

[bing]

do the conversion to a CRX... yeah

coupes are lighter and i drive one, so that's what you want cause u wanna be like me...

i cant afford to do the conversion but i would only do it to a coupe, then again Lee's fastback with the conversion in the sd meet vid is mighty sweet, so in the end you gotta make your own decision

Did I mention yet that I want to have your car's children?

How can you wanta &nbsp;sil-80 after looking at a 240sx as sexy as Lance's? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Well the coupe is lighter and said to have a more rigid structure, so it would be better in the name of performance to get the coupe...however I think fastbacks look better/more sporty.

very interesting scoop on the roof, does that actually suck air in to the cockpit or anything....hmm maybe i could make some more head room for myself w/ something like that. &nbsp;being 6'7" has it's disadvantages for sure. &nbsp;yes that is a very nice car but i think i found a coup w/ a blown engine for 600 bucks, if it the deal goes through i will be a happy man <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

oh and for those of you who have bought front clips do you have any recomendations as to what shop to buy from and how much did you guys pay. &nbsp;i found a shop selling complete front clips for 1600 but hmm that almost seems TOO cheap.

the coupe is good for silvia conversion, look @ my car &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

coupe. it looks so sexy with that conversion. on the fastback, in my opinion (note the opinion part) it looks like it doesn't belong there...at all. i've seen very few actual sil-80's that looked ok with that front end, but they had also had nice wheels and body kit to help restore the 'flow' of the car. hard to explain &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> kinda like 180SX lights on a stock looking 240SX doesn't look any better to me, but with a decent looking body kit, they look great.

In the words of Notorious B.I.G.

Gimme da coupe, gimme da coupe, imma bad boy

for those who have no ide what I am talking about, Biggie has a song thats called gimme the loot and i juss changed loot to coupe.

anyway the coupe looks so much better with silvia conversion, but the some sil-80s look nice though.

[drifting240sx]

i kinda like it on the fastback <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

I agree, i don't see coupes too much and had a hell of a time finding mine. but i like them better so I say don't settle and get a Koop!

Coupes suck Balls compared to the Fastback...

[rancid240]

This is how I see it:

240sx coupes have a round ass and square end, causing them to be, well, ugly. &nbsp;(Onevia- a silvia with a 180sx front, is getting rather popular in Japan)

180sx/240sx hatch have the round ass and end, though I think they look good either with a silvia front or nice body kit (please, not a GTR STYLE fucking body kit, but a nice bomex, ikeya, etc)

If I had the money to do a conversion, I would do it on a coupe in my opinion, because the square front and end are just made for eachother.
