Sil80 out of style now?

You just don't see many sil80's anymore. What gives? Seems like around 2004-2005 everyone with an S13 was building one. Must have been a trend at the time?

Post some 2009 sil80's if you are building one.

You're mistaken.




They were NEVER in style.


An original Kid's Heart Sileighty might be cool, but even that is pushing it.

Well, that's just like... your opinion, man.

They were definitely more popular a couple years ago than they are now.

I agree they never looked very good. Maybe now that kouki hatch stuff is more available and cheaper, nobody bothers with the silvia front end.

Kouki hatches are definitely "in style" now.

Sileightys are always in style. I had both 180sx pop up and now sil80. Thing is people miss match colored parts or never add aero so it looks shitty.

i think the reason is because the people that thought it looked cool have all bought coupes now and moved the stuff over.

Sil80 is ugly.

It was cool when it first made it's way to America, because it was "cool & different"

Now it's old and mismatched and ugly, but it doesn't matter because there are enough mismatched and ugly cars on Zilvia to begin with.

I'm not gonna explain the history behind it.

you know what i miss?

when a dumped fastback with a seafoam silvia front end on mismatched teardrops and SEs was the fucking JAM!

when everything was fun.

for this reason i miss Sil-eightys. (but thats probably the only reason).

Sil80's are on of those trends where someone somewhere built an alright looking one, and then everyone else thought that putting a Silvia front on their fastback would make it look just as alright.
