Jetstorm, the way you call them 15-80 annoys me. An S15 and a Silvia, so the term "sileighty", which everyone has come to know and love is perfectly acceptable. I just think it's weird how you call them a different name.

Anyway... There's 3 sileighty's. Komatsu's original blue sileighty, and the 2 new twin sileighty's. The other car you're referring to was an S15.

Praise the Sileighty :bowdown:

I know about Komatsu's older Blue-Green s15-sil80 and I know about the two metallic orange cars they're using now, but I have no idea what the "yellow-orangeish one" is you're talking about. They have a metallic orange S15 that's there all around car (drifting/drag racing/track car), so that may be the one you're talking about.
EDIT: While I was typing this, battle_stage already said all that.

There was a Silver s15 in the September Super Street (same issue that had the Signal sil80 twins) that was bought and modified in Dallas, Texas by NX.

The crash wasn't at D1, it was at a drifting demo in Englishtown, New Jersey.

Ethix, i think you need to put the monkey humping the Eight Six back on your avatar. Not that I don't like those rims, it is just that monkeys humping things is hilarious.

There's a guy in my building who looks just like Nomuken. He Croatian though and has darker graying hair. Body structure is exactly the same though, hahahahha.

there can be 3 combinations.. 13-80, 15-80, and 14-80... its a way of classifying them without confusion... if you say "Sileighty" (for allot of people who have seen Inital -D) reminds them that it has an S13 front end conversion.. so don't get annoyed it makes perfect sence to call them 15-80s

If you must call it a 15-80, at least throw a Sil in there so people will know what you're talking about. Call it a Sil-1580 or S15-Sil80 and people won't get confused.

[Jetstorm]-R · Sep 27, 2003

eh.. too long then.... 15-80 is better.. well you know now.. so I'll just keep my 15-80

My friend has an S13 Coupe with an S15 front, and his plates are "Sil-15."

That's exactly what I'm gonna do to my 240sx...

Tuner Medallion Exhaust
S15 Front End Conv
RPS13 Back end tailight conversion

welll that's it for now... I don't even have money to get the car yet.. :lol:

... but I will soon..

You mean Kouki taillights? Those are sweet. I would get an sr swap before an s15 front end though.

As for the RB20 or RB25 swap; they're good swaps as long as you don't want to take it on a track. As exhaust_note said, it ruins the near 50-50 balance of the car. If you're just going to use it for straight line racing it's probably the best swap for the 240.

straight line performance and low budget, i'd leave the KA in there, its iron block can hold lots of boost - im surprised everyone ops for the SR20 swap when they can just turbo there KA, it prolly has to do with balance too, the KA prolly weight a tit bit more...

It also has a lot to do with the age of the car. Would you really want to turbocharge a 12 year old engine that has 150,000 miles? (just an example) A lot of s14 owners turbo their KA's, but very rarely do you see an s13 with a turbo KA. It also has to do with the lack of performance parts for the KA. There's tons of parts out there for the SR. It's all just a matter of opinion. I'd rather have an SR than a KA.

SR20_Drifta · Sep 29, 2003
