I know the feeling.

I've either had stuff on order, or been watching out for stuff since I got mine.

So what's the long term plan for this one? KA, SR or RB?

Do youself a favor and dont waste your money on a conversion. I did, and unless you like spending too much money with some shady importers for some beat used parts don't bother. Sil-eightys look like ass anyway.

Spend the money on real mods.

Not to mention that the conversion looks much better on the coupes than the fastbacks to begin with.

Something about fastbacks without the popup headlights just looks weird.

Yep, CA18 swaps, RB20 swaps, and sil-eighty conversions all fall in to the same catagory:

a complete waste of money just to be JDM

On Sale · 06-06-2006, 12:45 PM

First, no shady importers... how about i pick the front end out myself in a warehouse? Yea, thats right... in philly... warehouse full of s13 silvia fronts. no ****ty broken parts for me.

Second, no ca18 , sr20 is the way im going.

and IMHO the silvia front looks 10x better on a hatch then a coupe.

james_ls · 06-06-2006, 03:26 PM

^^ Where is that garage ^^

LoL I like the car...can't wait to see what you do with it mang.

I prefer it on the coupes myself, but that's probably just be because I prefer the coupes in general. Either way it's better then the current front, even though the pop ups are fun. Are you going to be keeping it the same color after you have the front put on?

im considering just buying a front clip from this place in philly. Comes with body panels, motor trans and all, lights... even the rhd dash i can sell to make some $$ back.

O and those Front End "body parts+lights" are 800$ pickup from the warehouse in philly. If anyone is interested in this, PM me il get u the number for the place.

The clips i believe were $3100 , not too sure on that tho.

Some Plans for the next few months:
As for the color... i want to go maybe the subaru WRB, or possibly a deep pearl white, but thats after i get the front end, and the 180sx wing.

Some DEEP dish wheels, 16's probably.

Kouki RPS13 taillights... the expensive 500$ ones lol.

nothing else to the exterior. no ricey ****, no underbody lights or any of that crap. Maybe some 180 rear windows.

Waste of money if you're not doing a RHD conversion. Anyone who knows what a 180 is would know it should be RHD.

i know what a 180 is man, im not stupid. not saying u said im stupid, but i know ALOT about 240's. this is my second one, my bro had a s14 with a sr20, i drifted my old s13 at englishtown events, when they were dg trials, and in the one event placed 3rd.

Im not a newb jumpin on the wagon of 240's for the FNF movie. just thought i would clear that up.
