hatch usually gets ruined by fan boys who pile jdm shit

but looks more modern in design

If i were going to do it over _which i might_ I would get an s13 coupe and drop an s15 front end on the bish.

Go fiberglass and CF as much as possible, head to head the coupe will come out a little lighter after being prepped for the track.

I like both, but there's just something about the way my baby's ass looks in my garage when the moonlight caresses her ever so smooth lines that just tells me...

HATCH > COUPE!!!

hatch - more storage area?

I myself am deciding which to get, and its probably gonna end up being a s14 just because of looks.

Supposedly the coupe is anywhere from 50-100 lbs lighter than the fastback. Coupe is stiffer.

Hatch does have more storage space and doesn't have tail light issues like all the coupes I've had. It makes too many noises when you start stiffening up the chassis compared to a coupe.

They both look good and unique in their own ways. I'll always be a coupe guy, but I love both and have owned the same equal amount.

Get both or get an s14 for the best of both worlds.

i had two hatchs..got a crazy deal on my boys coupe, i was reluctant at first but now i <3 coupes way more.

when i put bodies in the trunk i dont see the reflection of their hollow eyes looking at me in my rear view mirror.


Funny coupe story:
one day i ran from the po, got far enough away where i thought i was safe. i wasnt he got me and thought i ran because i had drugs in the car (obv didnt). I swaped trunks for a wingless trunk and had no trunk latch so i did the next best thing, moved my pass seat, snaked thru the cage, crawled thru back seat and zip tied the trunk from the inside.
officer:hiding anything in your trunk? open it.
me:well funny story, it dosnt open
cop with grin on his face: oh yea, why not tough guy?
me:its zip tied shut from the inside
cop:how do we get in your trunk then?
me:crawl thru the cage or pull really hard on the trunk the zip ties will pop.
after a sad attempt to get a cop thru my cage. two cops end up standing on my rear bumper prying at my trunk as hard as they can. after about 4 min *pop* the zip ties snap and oh no..they reveal my super sneaky stash spot for my battery.
blah blah blah moods change, cops write said tickets(10 im guessing for their frustration), tap me on the tush and send me on my way.

lawyer still hates me to this day, most expensive coupe ever owned.

note trunk.

COUPES ..... only if they have a silvia fornt

[B18C5MK1]

hatch!


i'm glad i didnt see convertible on here.

[Sonic Motor]

i woulda voted for convertible...since no verts, COUPE!!!

So...i have a funny story too..

One day, I parked my coupe infront of my house, and forgot there was street sweeper that day. So I got a parking ticket for parking there.

And on the ticket, it had my vin and plate # and color and all the junk they put on the title.

Silvia had silvia front end and it was projector at the moment...So no Nissan logo in the front.

in the rear, i dont have a silvia emblem, nor 240sx emblems, nor the NISSAN sign cuz I picked up a painted one from the junk yard. So my car was unmarked.

The idiot put "ACURA" for vehicle make.
Model: "coupe"

Wouldnt it be fucked up if he actually knew what car I had....and just to spite me, put acura??? lol I doubt it though.

[trsilvias13]

Everytime I get a coupe, I would want a hatch. Everytime I get a hatch, I want a coupe.

Get a s14 kouki or a rx7 - Coupe + Hatch = fun.

[MrChow]

*sigh*

I still miss your old S13. I really liked it a lot.
I think you should get a S14. You'd like it more.

Anyways on that I think your more of a coupe person anyways.

[B Love]

Get a hatch and a coupe and the coupe can be your comfy cruiser and the hatch can be your fast car.

[fwuffy squirrel]

[mr_240sx]

[DOOK]

hatch with $2,500 rims + 3,000 paint + 1,500 FRP body kit etc etc is the only way they look nice IMHO

[WERDdabuilder]
