Sil-80's and Strawberry faced 240's are old-school and deserve respect. I think the conversion is just one more way to make your car.......your car!

personally i like sil80s and silvia coupe conversions, but i wouldn't want one. i suppose 'rice' depends on why the driver did the conversion in the first place.

Rice seems to be thrown around this forum like its going out of style. Just because something doesn't hit you as being just right doesn't mean its automatically rice.
I was reading a prime example earlier some one was say that a frigin blow off valve was rice and if you like the sound your a ricer WTF whats next if you got a Front mount intercooler it rice and if you like that way it looks your a ricer. COME ON PEOPLE!
I say do what you want everyone has there tastes in cars I certainly wont call it rice unless you decide to put all the vinyl stickers at wall mart on your car.
I'll probably get flamed hardcore over this but I don't care it was really annoying me.

My coupe has a Silvia front end, but with dual projectors. Projectors work better with the more rounded look of the fastback, while halogens work better with coupes. I'm still deciding whether or not I want halogens.

Silvia front end was made for coupes. 'Tis teh sex.

Yeah, but there have been several people on this board that have said they wanted a blow off valve just cause they liked the sound and thats it. They couldnt give a flip about the turbo, just the blow off valve. Thats rice. Almost all cosmetic mods that you put on your car and you aren't using it the way it was intended, then its rice.

Example: Having a boost gauge on your car and not having a turbo.

sil-80s look like butt, but silvia conv. coups are pretty nice. i still like a coup with a kouki 180 nose the best. id probably trade my FB for a comparable onevia style car.

i agree. in fact, unless you have a straight track car, with tuned body mods for aerodynamics...its rice. but i still love my ricy body kit, and will like it even better when my ricy wheels get here

nah, the unpainted CF hood and typical 240 mods on your car make it ricey. maybe it'll fill out with new wheels but right now i see plain white rice... especially since you resurrected a thread that's been dead for two months.

There is nothing wrong with building you car to the way you want it to be. I think the conversions add a class of individuality.

I don't think it's rice, but at the same time I think 1) the body lines of the S14 aren't right for the strawberry front end unless you widen the rear 2) I'm tired of people doing the conversion and not doing a good job. Yeah, I understand body work is very difficult and expensive, but if you're gonna do it, just wait till you can do it right, so you don't have some 1/2 assed piece of shit looking body job with the bumpers not fitting flushly and a huge gab between the fenders and the hood. It looks like crap, and it is most definitely tacky.
