Best $10 I've ever spent on a car. Should have cleaned the car before taking the photos though...

and more...

 

Seems ironic that on a website where people with rare and exotic supercars are adding $1000+each wheels on their cars, someone posts their latest Krylon job.

 

So much for following the theme of this subforum, "japanese supercars".

 

Some of us don't have the $ right now (starting up a business) to have the real supercars - so we settle for the best we can afford.

I browse this forum because I aspire to own the cars most of you do, and have been fascinated with them since I could crawl. I bring to the forum what I can, comments, photography, etc., and believe it or not, there are people on the forum who own one of the cars I've owned, or own something similar.

With that being said, I understand not everyone cares about my $10 spray paint job on my wheels. I created the thread to show what $10, a little creativity, and some passion for photography can yield - an IMO, the car looks better than it did before, so I'm happy.

 

I think it's cool.

any pics of the sileighty?

 

Thnx.

Here are some pics of the sileighty.

 

cool! which one do you like better?

 

Sileighty by FAR! I had to get rid of it due to insurance reasons (Japanese vin # was an issue), and I also needed a daily driver. The 180sx had coil-overs, straight pipe exhaust, etc., so it wasn't very practical to commute to work in. Was sad to give it up, but this one looks good and is quite fun and reliable. Still think about the 180 every day.

One day I'll pickup another one, as I want to start competing in the drift scene (need $ first though).

*EDIT*, the S14 that I have know is stock, except for Eibach springs and an HKS Hi-power exhaust sytem. The 180 had a '97 blacktop SR20DET, pushing about 260 wheel horsepower after tuning and everything. The S14 is 155hp, with maybe a 10hp gain from the exhaust (not that HP is everything...).

 

its murdered out!!!

...yea you shoulda cleaned the car

and ... what? no obligatory drifting pics?

 

Looking good bro! I love the 240's/Silvias. I want one for a project car with an RB26DETT in it. 240 insurance with Skyline Power!

 

Thnx! I want to put an RB26DETT in when I have some extra cash in a year or two.
