Just a nice pic. Never thought of putting a 180 front on an S15.

Anyone wanna sacrafice their S14 and give it a try?:D

dont think so. The back end looks like a different shape than an RX7 it bubbles out more over the wheels like the S15 (to accomodate their huge tail lights)

plus that front end doesnt look smooth enough to be an RX7 and the pop-up lights are the wrong shape. I really wanna say its off a 180

but now you have me thinking Im on crack:(

Im gonna have to look around more... anyone else wanna take sides here?

heh. . sorry. . can't take sides cuz I'm 2nd guessing myself too. . . yes the rear panels look like the S15 fenders but i've also seen RX-7's with some pretty intense flaring on the rear fenders. . .

but if i HAD to put money on it. . i guess i'd at least have to say that it's probably not an RX-7 . . . it just looks too tall and the roofline doesn't look right for an RX-7. . .

that's just me though. . . i could be way off base too heh

The car in question:

I think there is too much window for it to be a 2 seater RX7.http://jspec.com/gfd1.html

other examples:180http://jspec.com/p180.htmlRX7 http://jspec.com/bfd.htmlRX7http://jspe ... d1.htmlRX7 http://jspec.com/ffd.html

Definatly an S15 with a 180sx front end. You can tell the S15 by the B-pillar window. It has a very unique curve to it. The Front end also looks as tho it has been flared and workedover to an extream extent to fit on the S15 chassy. Moreover it doesnt have that Rx-7 Split roof. I love that look.

Yeah, it's an S15, but I can see how you'd think it looks like an old RX7, it does in the front.

why would anyone wanna put an S15 front onto an S13... what about putting a JDM integra front onto a USDM... then there is the people putting R34 fronts onto anything with 4 wheels.

Its a look, some people will like it, some people wont. It think the hood is a little much, but I like the car.

hahah it seems that the cars in japan that are in shows are actually race cars. they are not strictly show cars. that wagon is a stagea if i rememebr correctly, they just put a r34 face on it. i dont believe there was ever a skyline wagon. and i hope that honda comment was a joke.
