would it be wrong to build a full blown ka powered 240, and put an s15 front end on it. i woulld never put a (silvia) emblem, but i would use the lightening bolt S emblem, shift knob and steering wheel. technically since my car is an s14 so then the s applies. but not the (silvia) emblem cause its a 240. right? just something to think about.

stay sideways

Hey man, it's only improper if you steal it. Buy what you please if it will please you. Sounds good though.

Sure why not? I highly doubt that many people with s15 strawberry face actually have s15 motor in it..

It's your car in the end. if it looks good to you that's all tha matters

It's your car, do what you want to it. Honestly front ends are purely a matter of aesthetics anyway. The whole Sileighty thing is thought to be all JDM and special, but in reality Japanese drifters only did that in the first place because they could get Silvia fronts cheaper than 180 fronts, after having banged up their original 180 fronts. A front end is a front end, so long as it diverts air around the car it can look however you want it to look.

However, this is coming from the blasphemer who thinks it'd be cool to put an F20C in his S14. This blasphemer is also sorta drunk right now:-D

thats the conclusion i came up with it is my car and i have to drive it. but heres where the question stems from. i was riding down the road in my new 240, lovin it. i pull up behind a civic ex, with sir on the back. i barelly thought any thing of it a just laughed to myself. later that same day i pull up to a 96 mustang gt, with type r on the back. this was down right silly. i knew the civic was incorrect, but at least it could be real. a mustang type r? so i left him smellin rubber, with half the motor. that night i was on my way home. i stopped to get gas,and there it was. a 94 thunder bird gt-r. this pissed me off, and for some reason i just wanted to walk up, and rip it right off the car. but i didnt. got got my gas and went home sideways. i was just courious where the grey area was between wright and worng.guerilla drifter

They are just stickers. Some people just don't know.

Saw the GT-R emblem on a T-Bird today as well.

That one REALLY pisses me off because PepBoys sells those damn things and Nissan doesn't get one red cent of revenues for them.

Hey, at least they're showing creativity, I hate those "Powered by ...." I'm just like thank you, I had no idea civics were powered by Honda or Celicas are made by Toyota? Really? No way!
