Sileighty and Silvia conversions: Cool or Rice? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*Yuri* · 10-15-2003, 10:58 AM

I've noticed that a lot of people seem to be hating on cars like mine. I was wondering if we could get views from both sides of the arguement. I enjoy drifting and my Sileighty, and now thanks to Superstreet, everythings blown up overnight. There are benefits, though; more events, and more tech articles in mags and stuff. I love the look of my car, and I love its turbocharged engine, and almost perfect balance. For as much as silvia faces are becoming a "trend" as most of you guys state, mine is still the only one I have seen in the midwest.

Ricer240sx · 10-25-2003, 12:49 PM

o dont think its rice but just not my style

whateverjames · 10-29-2003, 10:59 AM

They don't look bad on the fastback, but I really like the conversion on the 240SX coupe.

h3x11 · 10-29-2003, 11:09 AM

not rice at all; but look best on coupe

ONYX S-13 · 11-14-2003, 06:09 PM

I don't mind conversions as long as they look clean and they belong on the make of the car ( all nissan conversions stay on nissans , honda's on honda's, subaru's on subaru's, etc.)..I really really want to put a S15 front end on my fastback..I think that looks friggin sexy ass hell...Plus S15's are my second favorite cars.

??? That is the way the coupe was originally intended. It looks MUCH better with the Silvia front than those butt-ugly pop-ups!

But then again...I see rice in this picture.

they also got a kit for the CAvy and teg. they also have the Kouki s14 conversion for the teg too.

:hammer: and whats worse is that when i was a youngin and didnt no about the 240sx i wanted to get a teg and do teh s14 conversion

i am a horrible person

Ghettokracker71 · 01-25-2004, 05:26 PM

I want an S15 front on my Fastback...as much as I looooooooooooove my pop-ups

Ricer240sx · 01-31-2004, 05:02 PM

i am starting to love the Sil-80 more and more everyday lol

and yeah.......s15 sil-80s are hot as hell!!!!!!

matlock · 02-01-2004, 01:56 AM

I want a silvia face for my coupe so bad, but then I look on the net and like every coupe has one now.....i'm not sure if I still want to do it as muc but damn it looks good. Sil80's look pretty cool in my opinion, I just wish my car looked the way it did when it did when it was born overseas lol....

MakotoS13 · 02-02-2004, 01:59 AM

the S13 silvia front end has grown on me quite a bit.

wicked cars need to look pissed off.

MakotoS13 · 02-02-2004, 03:22 PM

Trans Am
corvette
cobra
viper
lambo
mclaren
saleen

the R34 skyline... that sucker looks like it has mood swings from all those steroids.

MakotoS13 · 02-03-2004, 03:46 AM

yup, if you wanna get more low budget than a civic and worse performance try souping up a cavaliar... i've NEVER seen one that looked impressive.

they always seem no matter what ya do to em.

christopher · 02-03-2004, 07:20 AM

I see nothing wrong with making your car look better. If you like the look of, say, the S13 front end, then do what you want. I am trying to stop looking at things as if I have to avoid doing what I want because others will accuse me of being a ricer. BTW, I don't like putting Nissan headlights on a Honda or vice versa, that just seems silly.

Neither are what you'd exactly call "excellent platforms" ...hah hah,...the civic at least has a SHITTON more parts...

MakotoS13 · 02-05-2004, 01:24 AM

every few YEARS i'll see a civic that looks kinda neat but the hoe is still JUST A CIVIC. i don't care if the typeR was put on by the company owner... still just an econobox.

i always wonder why people don't soup up 240's instead of retarded tegs and civics. real sports cars have rear wheel drive. it's as simple as that.

Ricer240sx · 02-05-2004, 11:20 AM

Damn streight!!!

nightwalker · 02-05-2004, 04:39 PM

I had a silvia front on my fastback, but started to realize that I liked the flip ups more, that and I want a kouki fastback front bumper. So I got rid of the Silvia conversion and got myself some kouki tailights to start my kouki conversion. sometimes I miss it, and cry in my sleep.

iluvdrifto · 02-06-2004, 12:58 AM

i have a front end ill trade for your tail lights and bumper ! lol

nightwalker · 02-07-2004, 12:25 PM

I don't miss it that bad.
