Yep, we only got hatch's in europe and only with the ca18det engine. This is also the only two tone colour we got from the factory everything else is a import. Unfortunately there's not many two tone's left here, a lot of them have been resprayed in terrible colours because people didn't appreciate how good the original colour was but their starting to fall into the right hands now so expect to see a few more european 2 tone's appearing.

Had to take her for a little play but I don't think I'll be doing it again, don't want to damage her.

Allmtoreg · 03-02-2010, 09:52 PM

silviaguy240 · 03-02-2010, 10:23 PM

Vatche · 03-03-2010, 08:32 PM

i saw that car in person at buttonwillow, its nice and clean. i waved but they didnt notice me :P

!Zar! · 03-03-2010, 09:13 PM

Sorry. I wasn't paying much attention that day.

That pic above was 17/18

Here is a 17 all around.

Had to raise my car to run 225's. Once I put the 215's on it shall be lower.

Rear valence blew up and the other lost paint. Time for new ones. I need to get my g-grow rear valence on (hope and a wish)

It is a oem aero bumper. If you look at the other pic I posted it has the license plate.

Larry Chen was nice enough to edit out the license plate for me.

Super_OK_S13 · 03-05-2010, 09:24 PM

ok so i think i saw one white over gray silvia in 28 pages. doesn't seem its an oem scheme. is it considered fake if i paint my car those colors? since both colors are oem. like the white over gold.

sidewayzsx · 03-07-2010, 10:47 PM

you paint it = fake

Rules:

jspek · 03-22-2010, 08:25 PM

jbretz · 03-23-2010, 01:32 PM

jspek · 03-23-2010, 05:41 PM

jbretz · 03-23-2010, 06:02 PM

i jumped on it as soon as i saw it posted. plus the dude was super cool and worked out a deal for me driving there and traded my s14 seat too

nismo_enthusiast · 03-26-2010, 12:08 AM

Got coilovers and pulled the hub caps off... I know needs wheels, but I blew the KA so the bay and motor are getting surgery first!

Love it. My favorite two-tone color. Don't think I'll ever find one around here again.

RCCC_DRiFteR · 03-31-2010, 05:08 PM

Color of car: Platinum Ice/ Charcoal Grey
Build date: '89 No idea on month, the QP has been replaced.
original transmission: Automatic
sunroof: Negative
HUD: Yes
wing: Negative
State: CA

Car was originally from SD, then went to LA. a SCCA driver owned it in LA. Sometime then is when it was in an accident and the whole QP was replaced but CLEAN title still

The person I bought it from lived in LA and then moved to Grass Valley. Drove it til he blew the HG and it sat for 4 years and then I bought it for $500.

Color of car:creamy yellow/grey metallic
Build date:88
original transmission:manual

DreEzed · 04-04-2010, 01:47 AM

Damn , seeing two tones always makes me wanna paint my car that silver green, gray. but I is 93

.

tr4c3 · 04-04-2010, 08:25 AM

I miss mine too much. I'm on the hunt for another. My bro found two of the blue/gray ones just chilling on the side of some peoples houses (two different houses of course). I'm going to stop by and leave my name and number to see if they will sell them. I shall save all the two-tones I can.

JackAz · 04-07-2010, 03:29 AM

First time poster. Had her for a few months, haven't put any money into it yet though.

Build date: 92
Original transmission: Automatic, still is.
Sunroof: Nope
HUD: Nope
Wing: Yep, removed it.
State: Victoria, Australia.

2_slow_40 · 04-09-2010, 05:40 PM
