Car: 92 240 hatch

I was just gonna say that!!

I have a photoshop pic of an R32 on a 180 that I got off the net. I forget where but I remember that last time I went to the site he had taken it off.

I have it on my HD I'll try to find it.

PS: if they can make the front of a Civic look like an S15 anything is possible.

My .02 I love both cars. I own both types right now. I have a hatch and the coupe, but i must say that i love my hatch better. I bought the hatch first and then i got the coupe from my uncle with a blown motor after i put the new engine in i thought i was gonna keep the 93 coupe for future plans, and daily drive the 91 hatch. Now that i have had the car running for a mth or so i have started to not like the body styling of the coupe. Like someone has stated b4 the coupe looks like a stanza from the rear, and without the stationary silvia headlights the coupe looks like it was cheated with the usdm front end. Now my thing for u from me a person that has both cars is if you are gonna do a front end swap (silvia) go with the coupe, now if ur gonna keep the flip up headlights go with a hatch. it is totally up to you though, it all depends on what you are looking to get from your car.

I think the Hatch looks better....i dont know about performance differences...but i do know that the coupe is 50 pounds lighter......thats why i bought a coupe.......but mines an auto........its complete bull!......most "racers" i knew didnt even know a coupe existed......but they're all civic drivers.....i kinda regret gettin it now because its an auto........but i really wanted a coupe then so i got it......actually dumb people mistake the coupe for a 91 integra......

coupe!....through a biased oppinion

ps....i think nissan made every 1 out of 6 coupes a manual.....cus i couldn't find a goddamn manual anywhere!

i personally like the hatchback better, but you can build a better sleeper with a coupe
