hey Corbic, last time i checked your pathetic and rather contrived opinions about any topic discussed, deliberate rabble rousing, banal ramblings and general inability to think before you speak is the reason why so many forum members think youre nothing but a joke and complain to me about you via PM on a fairly normal basis simply because you contribute nothing to the forums other than leaving your mark of filth that you exude so excessively and completely upon others.

in other words, do us all a favor and crawl back under the rock someone inadvertently kicked over!

...two paragraph rant about people running off topic. Alrighty then...

^ you guys are nerds.



you've all seen it many times, but it is just so good:

Corbic makes a good point. You ruin our Kouki 180SX aero thread by making post after post with paragraph after paragraph trying to sling t-shirts and body kits in a thread that has nothing to do with g sonic kits, Zenki s14's, or your personal finances.

We have a whole section dedicated to people like you who want to sell automotive affliction shirts and knockoff plastic body kits. Go practice sales pitches there instead of attacking people here for calling you out legitimately.

I preferred this car with this set up, but I'm sure the current set up is more functional.

is that the GT1 series kit? buddy of mine had that on his S13 when he still lived here in the States... he was actually the first one in the US with the kit as his was the working prototype

[CrimsonRockett]

GT-1 with K-power fenders.

Aside from Kouki 180 aero, that is my absolute favorite set up for an S13. Nothing else comes close.

[Bushido]

I do agree that the car does look better in that stage.

OEM sideskirts look anemic in in combination KP fenders. GT1 sides are much lower and parallel to the ground.. looks more balanced.

Do you have any other shots of that car in it's former setup? I can only find shots of it with the OEM sides.

Yuck. Pop-up headlights are the most iconic feature of a 180SX.

eastbear was the only company out there IMO that did the headlight conversion RIGHT on the 180sx front. there were a few more companies that tried it and just didnt pull it off...


that and the eastbear unit was actually built to be an OEM replacement. they were fully adjustable and used real glass for the covers (i believe). if i remember correctly, the price tag on them was like just over $1000 in the early 2000s before production ceased.

[Bushido]

I thought those were Abflug headlights... I thought East Bear utilized round lamps?

...It is true that alot of the character of 180 is in the pop-up headlights.

i think abflug used circle lights on the inside...

[dorkidori_s13]

i cant find a definitive answer on if abflug or eastbear... both google searches show a variety of styles... BLAR!!

[dazed]

^ Since you keep ninja editing your shit:





East Bear is always round. Pictured above. Pretty cut and dry.



Ab-Flug was round or square, but looks different than East Bear.

On the topic of flush mount headlights, here is Streeter's vehicle.

I was about to do this... http://m.ebay.com/itm/400846608635?nav=SEARCH

I think that is what they use..

[CrimsonRockett]

They're just garage door seals.

Nice while it lasted, but tore it to shreds at my old office (underground parking, steep angle, no bueno).

Cheap way to add a little flare I guess.

These have been around for quite some time. They are made by aoshima. I have had all 3 180sx styles for like 4 years. Just google Aoshima 180sx and you should find them.

Man that looks sweet! Want to do Hotroad but this picture might just change my mind.

Gonna have to make the trip north one day and visit Koguchi. Wonder if he carries those fenders at his shop...
