the back looks too narrow if you have an s15 front. Imma get some overfenders to widen out the back so it doesnt look as bad.

widebody helps out a lot...infact I am going full widebody all around... 50's in the back *or 30's* and 20's up front. should help make the body look "beefier"

wouldnt be much of a hookup if the hook kept getting used by more than one person.... its like trying to get the same fish with the bait that the other guy used... just doesnt work too well.

This is a common myth purported by internet jockies.
It is not true in real life. Have you ever seen a s15 front on Fastback in real life? I have seen plenty and the front is not wider. Again unless you have reallly seen this do not comment

[chlatboy]

OH, i have it on an s14. And its all opinions. I think that s14 rear end is too narrow with teh s15 front. But then again its just my opinion.

well I am not impressed with how it looks on a S14 period. It definitely fits the s13 fastback much better.

if you are building a car that you want hella ppl to look at and be like "ooooh, s15" then yea, do it.

but if you are building a car that you want to take to the track and get fucked up. stay with the stock front end.

in my case, i shoulda stayed with the stock front

its part track part work display car so the s15 front end is for the grabbing peoples attention and the NEO project is for track.

O well. I bought the car like that. 2500 for an s14 with a s15 front. Not bad if you ask me. Clean title too.

that is a deal.

which "ridge" are you talking about?

he is talking about the lip on the s15 front fenders and all you have to do to is roll and pull your rear to create a accent that is similar and close enough to look sweet. IMHO!

[MakotoS13]

yeah you could pull your fear fenders but you'd have to do it REALLY well. i think fender flares in the back would make it all flow pretty rad but that's just off the top of my head.

[Drunk Bastard]

oh, yea. I def agree. you gotta pull the rears on the s14 (just a little bit) and they should match up nicely. most s15 conversion fenders are like 10-20mm wider anyways, so with a slight pull in the rear it matches and looks good. yea, i wasnt exactly sure what you were referring to doug.

question: so wait them masa's are already 10-20 already? so then I was looking at the fenders that origin was offering and they were listed as wider
http://www.origin-lab.com/os135f.php

so is this just 20 already or is it 20+20?

just a bit confused here

[BobbyBoy]

Those would most likely be 20mm wider than the stock s13 fender. My crappy ass Masa replica fenders on my Blue car are about 15mm wider than stock, but are not vented. However they do have the "ridge" if you look at my picture more closely. The origin fenders appear to not have the ridge that mine have.

HMM intresting... ridge or no ridge....vent or no vent.... crappy ass wanna be convertion fenders or the originals. thanks for the info b-boy

[SilviaDriver]

mine are stock fenders i bought long ago from speedalliance.com i dont think they are any wider :[

i needa get new fenders

[axiomatik]

It looks to me like the Origin fenders have the ridge. It is hard to tell because of the lighting, but if you look at the reflection of the light over the wheel opening, it looks like it is being bent by a ridge. Also, if you look at the pics of the s15, it doesn't have any ridge around the rear wheel wells either, so it wouldn't be too much different than s13s or s14s.

[SilviaDriver]

no ridge in the end of a s15 but it isnt as "round" as the s14, the s15 is more square back there

[Rich_S14]

We've all got it backwards...





I still dunno what to call this. The OneVia 15?

<smartassmode> In order to make it easier on youself, and also so that people will actually know what you're talking about you can simply say "An S15 with a 180sx front end" </smartassmode>

[axiomatik]

looks like they are trying to copy the 360 modena with that bumper

[chlatboy]

I gotta admit, that car looks bad ass tho!!

don't care. the bumper is sex.

gimme!

[drift freaq]

that looks pretty damn sick!!
P.S. I believe Thats a Wise sports D style bumper( though it also maybe Masa). I was looking at those bumpers almost 4 years ago. Though if it is Masa , Wise has one thats very similar . Either way those bumpers are not cheap. Getting one here in Cali would have cost better of $600
