Anyone ever decide to 2-tone a chuki fastback? Thinking of doing one, just wondering how it would look.

No. Just... no.
Painting the roof and hatch black works (kinda) on a fastback, but the coupe two-tone looks terrbile on a fastback IMO.

LB.Motoring · 09-04-2006, 07:43 PM

Yuri, do you have the full set of oem schemes? I thought I saw it somewhere but I can no longer find it,

Thanks

A guy picked this up not too long ago here in the UK. AFAIK it is completly standard including the paint. This is the second one with two-tone that I've seen here so far, both with the green/gray color scheme.

TipStylez · 09-04-2006, 09:28 PM

^Yeah, the 2tone fastbacks were only released in the UK.

But the weird thing is, ive seen a all stock look to be factory 2tone fastback up here in seattle. A friend of mine used to own it.

It just looks weird imo, the 2tone looks better on the coupe cause it makes it look longer and lower. The fastback...is still a fastback =]

ayuaddict · 09-04-2006, 09:51 PM

is it just me or are most two tones are not very modified?

TipStylez · 09-04-2006, 09:59 PM

No, just that most 2tone owners are poor.

*Vatche* · 09-05-2006, 03:14 AM

lol i bumped the thread and like alot of people posted cars, thanks guys.

the window motor in my car has gone out twice, what i did when i replaced it the last time was lube up my mechanism cuz it was all dry and now it rolls up faster and smoother then my passenger. i got a used motor for 20-30 bucks just look around.

the two tone fastback in the picture looks ok, but when a guy painted the two tone himself it didnt look so hot, maybe it was the color scheme but it doesnt look right on the fastback. i personally love the green/grey blue/grey two tone coupes theyre better looking to me stock then any modified 240 ive seen out there. like yuri's car with those wheels looks assam.

and spending money on your car is your hobbie, its supposed to relax you. if its stressing you out putting money in your car then yes you shouldnt do it. but honestly if i didnt have my car i would have killed myself already.

i love two tone coupes. i cant wait to paint the top of my car the stock green color.
does anyone have suggestions or information on how much it would cost to buy the factory paint and in the two tone color because it looks different colors from different angles is that more of a process to paint it on or is that the paint itself. cuz im trying to keep my car budgeted but i have to have that color.

oh and i saw a green two tone coupe at pick a part, it was missing a hood and fender and i was seriously thinking about buying the shell until i noticed the driver side rear fender had been hit

rest in peace.

johngriff · 09-05-2006, 03:35 AM

Used my G/S as a DD for like 6months, then... lol Thanks Ex G/F

So then.. i put this on it.. shopping around for body shop..

Build date 10/88
Original Green Silver
HUD yes
Full power Yes
Sunroof YES
Auto Trans convert to manual
Good car, will be back at the track... one day.. lol.

At the one on Beach in Stanton? I saw that one. That rear quarter dent is nothing. Its not even creased, so its an easy pop out. You should buy it (if they're willing to sell shells).

*Yuri* · 09-05-2006, 10:29 AM

I was at that yard Saturday and Sunday, but didn't see the two-tone. There was a hatch that I got a leather interior from and an S14 with a full bomex kit though.

yeah, I tried cleaning and regreasing the tracks. Tested it, and it still wouldn't go up. Popped the cover off the gear box and found that all of the gears are about half as tall as they should be, so now I'm trying to find a motor. Missed a cheap one on Ebay when I was out of town, I'll get one this week.

*Vatche* · 09-05-2006, 12:21 PM

well about buying the shell thing, it is a dream floating in my mind, i dont have the time and money to switch shells my car is my DD.

and Yuri you probably went to a different pick a part cuz the one in stanton never has s14's theyre too new i believe.

the window motors are little bitches and i hate them. i drove without a window motor for like 4 months before 2 weeks ago when i replaced it.
the first time it went out i went 6 months without a window motor.

Haha, nice, I was there on Friday. That s14s sideskirts were trashed along with the front bump. I took some bolts off of that leathered s13...did you see the z32 there? I pulled the rear hubs and ebrake drums.

Its the one a few blocks north of the stanton one, the one in Anaheim. The s14 is base though and was thoroughly raped already.

Were you the one who got to the two Z32s at the one at Katella too?
I'm never going to get 5-lug at this rate, arrgh.

undesiredshoe · 09-06-2006, 08:08 PM

TipStylez · 09-06-2006, 08:33 PM

^POSER 2TONE! BANN NOW!!

undesiredshoe · 09-06-2006, 08:45 PM

ohh geeze...sorry man, ill remove it if your serious

**ThatGuy** · 09-07-2006, 04:15 AM

2-tone fastbacks =

Coupes are just sexier cars.

Paul Frank · 09-07-2006, 05:00 AM

:'( no hatch love....

axiomatik · 09-07-2006, 07:14 AM

rps13 SR · 09-07-2006, 07:46 AM

coupes are no way sexier.. just that they have a diff look.. and its looks good with 2 tone.. but hatches are sexier.. especially the new ones from 96-98.. and kouki lights and stuff.. i know everyone is gonna disagree in here cause you guys just like the coupes better.. but hatchs looks sexier.. just ask a girl and tell them to think.. coupes are like the ae86 hatchs.. guys love them and think they look hot but they really look like poo

TipStylez · 09-07-2006, 09:26 AM

My girl said coupes actualy looks like a real car. =]

rps13 SR · 09-08-2006, 08:29 AM

thats because coupes are a real car.. its not a toy figure

FYI, there is no such thing as an S13 HATCH. Its a liftback, not a hatchback.

**ThatGuy** · 09-08-2006, 07:28 PM

FYI, it's a Fastback, not a liftback, or a hatchback.

coupes are also lighter then hatches

100 pounds lighter on a full loaded S13 coupe and the S13 hatch is much heavier

factory.
