silvia=hatch?
Hello all u 240 biased mf'ers:D
i thought i would ask your opinions anyway so here goes: my friend is looking into getting either: -89-94 silvia coupe imported from japan such as this one for example. http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/8...tks10170bw.png or a hatch, (possibly imported also), and turning it into something like this one. http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/3/bryan10wl.jpg he is torn between the two, looking at the pros we have: silvia:stock sr20,low miles,RHD,possibly some extra aftermarket goodies. hatch:stock b18(possibly turbo) low miles RHD also and possibly some aftermarket goodies,tons of parts out there, so basically the same as the silvia in that aspect. cons: silvia:possibly beaten on and not taken care of(i guess this could go for either) hatch:not RWD...hmm if u think of any for either post em. |
Well either way I hope he doesnt expect to drive these things legally on the road :confused: Of course im going to be biased and say the silvia because of the RWD. But then again EGs are sex and I like them a lot.
Better question. What does he want the car for? |
yes it is legal. the importer legalizes them.
EDIT:he wants acceleration....basically that good ol feeling of pulling hard. |
Re: silvia=hatch?
Damn boy, I sure do miss my EG-6. Had the same lip, same color, fiber hood, different headlights and stuck a LS/Vtec up in it and did some mid 12s. If He's looking for acceleration, The EG6 straight from Japan is a great choice! comes equip with the 1.6 B16A producing a 160hp thats bound to take him to the 14 second class stock!
|
The EG definately has more potential for acceleration only because of its weight and part availability. I would go with that and if he has the money, swap in a K20. Mmmmm.....
HOWEVER. There is nothing like being pushed by RWD. Fun in the rain :D It depends what he wants. A steet machine thats fun to drive or a drag car with nearly unlimited potential. |
what bumper is that on the silvia??
|
stock i think?

Thats stock isnt it??? |
i dont know if thats just me or do people really think its cool to have a rhd car in a country that all other car are lhd
btw you can get a eg6 with 16b(160hp) with LHD from europe |
well it's something new. and stock sr over there stock ka here. thats what i think he's thinking. is with stock sr he can be faster with less work. with a ka-t or sr swap.
|
well the point in owning wither of those cars isnt really acceleration?...well i would buy either just for the handling...iono...mustangs pull really hard...any V8 with lots of displacement
|
Tell him to buy the Civic since it sounds like he knows nothing about 240sx's and he's importing to be JDM Tyte.
|

|
alteast import something we can't get here, ie tourer chaser or r31 or 32.
