Here's a butthurt screenshot I saved in 2015, I wonder if this person uses Zilvia still? haha.

Malik · 02-19-2019, 02:59 PM

more than likely not clean title.

tacobellman_2007 · 02-23-2019, 10:07 AM

I use Zilvia quite frequently - usually at work like right now lol - mainly to check the For Sale threads. When I don't find anything else that interests me in the FS threads I start lurking around in other sections I usually don't visit. I feel like new contribution is definitely dying (most likely due to things having already been done i.e. SR20 swap info, wheel fitment, etc.), but I'm sure many still lurk around here just to see if there is anything else worth viewing.

Kinda wish I had joined Zilvia much earlier than I had, when it was more active with the cool OGs posting "new finds" and being acquainted with each other. Aka I feel like one of those "born in the wrong generation" dudes. Parts are with now overpriced, 240s on Craigslist are beat to and running like shit for the same price I got my S13 for when it was bone stock, people use the excuse that "240s aren't meant to be clean" ...like wtf lol smh.

Well anyways I've always believed this car shit is mainly to bring cool people with cool cars together, which I hope is still the case when I get my car back on the streets. Gonna try to be more active on this forum when my car is actually presentable.

SoCalS14 · 06-26-2019, 05:55 PM

I'm lurker who has moved on to Mazdas after a stop with Subarus. Sold my 240 in '05. This forum was so key when building that car.

Funny thing, I recently found a guy who bought my car from the guy I sold it too...fond memories seeing that car still going strong as late as '14/'15. Guy told me he parted it and sold the shell. Bummer...now that I am older and can afford great parts...wish I hadn't sold it. Such is life.

Its too bad owning a shitty looking "drift car" is cool now.

*tacotacotaco* · 06-26-2019, 05:57 PM

you know zilvia is coming back up when the bots start spamming

thomaspanton · 07-21-2019, 08:48 AM

Newbie but enjoy the site so much.

KA24DESOneThree · 07-23-2019, 05:34 PM

Since I caged my car and made it undrivable, it's been in mothballs. I'm still deciding on engine choice (dry-sumped 5.0L Olds-215-based all-alloy V8 with ITBs?), trans choice, body mod choice, and I have to finish building the cage through the firewall in the front and getting the steering set up for my seating position that's significantly lower, more centralized and farther back than stock.

It pains me to see something that once brought me such joy sitting on two flat tires awaiting my ass to get some reprieve from restoring cars and starting businesses.

I always used Zilvia more than I contributed. I did some cool stuff, but even back then it was kinda fringe and wouldn't have helped more than a handful of dudes.

FB groups are sometimes too chaotic for me. Lots of a-holes there too. That's the reason why I joined this forum.

IvoryWhiteS13 · 08-07-2019, 07:59 PM

Still use it. I do a lot of reading tech sections and for sale. Honestly sick of social media especially fb, forums are a lot better in my opinion. Hoping to start a build thread soon on here.

I feel you guys, haven't been to any meets S-Chassis meets lately, but every time I see one on the street, they are pretty beat up, rarely see any clean one's unless it's at a car show or here on the forum. My 17 year old daughter wants an S13 coupe and has been looking around on craigslist and offerup but says most of them are nasty or if they are clean that they are too expensive for her, lol.

Highway Riding · 08-13-2019, 11:56 AM

Errday user here. Will be posting some cars for sale soon and hope to scoop up another S14 or 3rd Gen RX! Still love Zilvia

Felipe · 08-17-2019, 08:28 AM

I still lurk from time to time. No 240 soo... Just in it for the S love. Maybe one day ill buy another. Specially now with that 25yr rule. Clean s13 and s14 are starting to roll off the japan ports and few website actually have financing for them. Very tempting

DJDANGER24 · 08-17-2019, 12:08 PM

I'm on a couple times a week. Bumping my for sale threads and just reading more tech stuff. I like to frequent the Old Grumpy Assholes of Zilvia thread, I feel welcome there. I still have my 240, different shell, less "gutted", building it to hurt Hellcat feelings on the freeway.

Andrew Bohan · 10-12-2019, 06:46 PM

I still check in every couple years to see if it's still here.

vertsilvia93 · 10-30-2019, 12:18 PM

I think Zilvia is way better than FACEBOOK 240 groups will ever be!

The old cars, from ancient times:

The newly resurrected S14, now with an S15 SR. It's ugly and needs a bunch of time put into it but it moved under its own power for the first time in over a decade, so I'm happy.

Two recent additions, because why half-ass something when you can whole ass it? I'm not sure what point I'm making here.

I haven't been active on here since like 2009? Maybe 2010? Trying to get back into it but life is a ton busier than then so we'll see.
Also facebook's microgroups are both good and cancer, relative to Zilvia. Absolute shit for information retrieval, pretty ok for buying/selling.
