Pignose is trash, there's a reason why it only lasted two years. Chuki and Kouki fronts bring the car out of the 80's and into the 90's.

You've got to admit that car kinda harkens back to the good ol' days. Granted, it's nothing earth-shattering, and by no means is it pioneering any trends. Hell, it's not even close to living up to Toby's S13's last incarnation but compared to the beat 240s you normally see around this place any more, it's still 'clean.' (in other words: not been ruined yet) The thing I laugh at is the fact that people are using 'clean' as a term of reverence. Clean just means it's been well taken care of, not really something to look up to. My CR-V is 'clean,' where the hell are the people swinging from my nutsack?


As for the zenki vs. chuki argument, It's all a matter of personal preference, I prefer the look of 80's sports cars to the 90's. Cars in the 90's all just looked too generic for the most part. All the car manufacturers were playing it safe, making everything a round unimaginative blob of mediocrity on wheels.
In my personal opinion, Kouki>Zenki>Chuki.

Once mine is finished being put back together and I can take some decent pics I'll post up my pignose, but don't expect anything that'll rock your world as it won't be anything new.

good ol days from when? there have been a lot of people here throughout the years that have build some really interesting cars. a clean and basic build was the one that estevan built with mike, that was a really fun coupe. estevan's blue car was also really nice. of course, i liked russ' stripped down s14... never have i seen that many things removed (or hidden) from a car. all of this will take a lot of time to search for if you guys want pics... but then you're still subject to criticizing them for this or that, being that todays standards have changed. parts are more available, the groundwork has already been set... so you fuckers really have it easy nowadays.

i think toby's car is nice, not great. i always liked his interior work (most of it) but never really saw his engine bay. i think its a damn shame when i heard/saw him pull that motor out. i think the LS shit is overrated but again, to each his own. my gut instinct says it was better left alone, but when a man is on a mission well... usually theres no stopping him. so, LS motor it is.

Ugh... rhinoplasty fail. But it does look similar to a chuki bumper and for some reason people think those look go so I guess I could see why someone would do it.

why is everyone shitting on everyone? people have their own taste in what they want with their cars, some of you complain about other people wasting money on a RHD conversion, really? but spending $1,200+ on adjustable suspension (coilovers) so you can adjust them once and leave it that way? just for the look right? everyone is going to do what they want when they want, don't get pissed and shit on their car or call them names or call out the ages of people because you don't like it, say you don't like it and move on, and if you don't like it why even click/read the thread?

someone in here is 30 and he's acting like he's 83 years old complaining about "kids these days" sounds like you need some fiber in your diet, simmer down and have your prostate checked.

and to the people about to trash talk me for what i said, or even try to question my post

Yeah but if you think about it the S13 designed in the 80s so according to ixfxi I guess the cokeheads got something right. Although I'm not sure if coke was as big in japan as it was here.

S12 lip?

Not bad but could have been done better IMO.
