S13 front conversion to sil80? - Drifting forum

Kit · 17-08-2008, 00:41

I want a sil80 but I can't afford one unless I sell the Impreza... which I don't want to do since it's a really nice example and a very different type of car.

However, I can afford to buy a standard S13 and slowly bring it up to a decent standard.

So I was hoping someone could help me work out how to/were to source parts for a front end conversion, if I can do it then i'll go for a p13.... if I can't then i'll have to start saving for an imported sil80.

wtf are you on.

afaik....
PS13 - blocky back end, blocky front end, look like shit.
R(P)S13 - swooshy hatchback with pop ups and sunglasses for rear lights.
I dunno wtf a p13 is, or what you meant you could/couldn't afford.

The sil80 is silvia front end, ie blocky shit, with swooshy back end. UK model s13 just needs bumper (may as well get random aftermarket fibreglass hovercraft bullshit), wings (just buy ps13 wide fibreglass wings, probs easier than sourcing original), bonnet (std. or wanky aftermarket shit), lights/grille (scope SXOC and here for people selling them for MONEYSSSSS), light mounts/bumper bar or some shit behind the lights.

So most of it could be gotten from places like ep-racing, then just leaves you to find the lights and whatever it is behind the lights (I forget) that you need to replace on owners' clubs.

I've gotten all the different names for the hybrids mixed up

But basically, I want the blocky front end off a silvia on a s13, so I need:

PS.13 wide fireglass wings
Bonnet (any ideas where I can get an aftermarket one in this country?)
Head lights

Fuuuuuuuucccck you!

Silvia front ends work on.........Silvias! Blocky front end with smooth rounded rear end [180sx] look mismatched IMHO.

Whats your take on Onevias Mike?
