[jamied311]

Does anyone have any info on the silvia truck conversions? i think it looks cool, and would love to do it to one of my s13's

Team Orange drifts a Silvia truck...I think they call it the Silcamino. I tried to look up info on it once, but could only find pictures.

i thought about doing it, bc my hatch broke. So i was thinking about taking off the hatch and the quarterpanel windows and making a new rear window and bedliner to fit the rest of it. It would elminate the rear seats because i was going to have the wall come down right at the roof. But i lost the time to do it.

someone in Japan Drifts a Black one it looks BADD !!! i would love to do that but the rear end of that is an actual truck !

[jamied311]

sean do you think you could get some pics of it?

[Sil40_Mayhem]

This is the only pic I can find (I actually have a drift video with both a 180SX and an R32 truck conversion):

I saw the orange one in person at Hot Import Nights a few months ago. It was a pretty clean job, but it had a cage to and im sure more frame stiffening because of the lack of a C pillar. It definitely looks good though, Ive also seen a video of a MK3 Supra Truck. Id love to have a S13 truck myself, go for it and report back!

[jamied311]

that is soo sweet... im gonna try to do that!

[JimmyMethod]

Geez, am I the only one who thinks that's horrible?

[PantherRacer]

probbably not, but you're one of the few...

[masticatingcow]

JimmyMethod, I second your opinion. I saw the Sil-Truck a while ago... and while it was novel, it was one of those, "Wow, I can't believe someone actually did that."

[drifter_for_life06]

its been done numerious times

IMHO i think its ugly, same thing as an el camino

you want a truck get a truck want a car get a car, dont mix em

but then again....to each his own

[PantherRacer]

wat if they want em mixed? some people are partial like that I think Sil-camino's look excellent. and I'd be able to fit more people in the back though it wouldn't be as safe (for them)

Me? driving a turbo Sil-camino with plenty passengers on the back?

ahhhhhhhhhh the screams...then the dreaded*fump-whump*

[masticatingcow]

Have you ever actaully seen the Sil-Truck? You can put MAYBE two people in there. IMHO, it looks too much like a Subaru Brat. Might as well raise the damn thing and put Baja tires on it.

[drifter_for_life06]

exactly

and a big fump-whump.......are you driving in reverse, considering they are in the back and all

[vvaffle]

It may look good to some people but I think its a terrible thing to ruin an S13 chasis when we are slowly running out of them as it is.

Quote »Geez, am I the only one who thinks that's horrible?[/quote]No. I agree with you as well.

[Eikon]

OH GOD.. Please learn from the El Camino.. Don't ruin a great car and turn it into a CRUCK

It's so terrible... I can't even handle the thought of it. NOOO DONT DO IT!!!!

[PantherRacer]

you can fit more than 2 people on there, trust I, I'm in the Bahamas...people used ta hoppin on the baskova truck...you can fit like 8-9 people in a S13 as it is (not comfortably of course) so a camino can hold the same amount or more.

the fump-whump would come from the car tailgating you....cuz that's all people do....suck right onto your rear bumper unless you pick up the pace...

and again, it's all a matter of opinion. I like the Sil-camino and you can't change my mind. Why try to change it in the first place?

I'm trying my hardest not to buy a usdm 240SX. left hand drive ees a bad thing driving on the left side of the road. So you keep your dwindling S-chassis....I'll raid Japan , cuz it's cheaper than converting a 240 to rhd...

I'd rather have a black skyline "cruck" anyways .

[drifter_for_life06]

nobody is trying to change your view

doing exactly what you said

having an opinion

I've seen the team orange sicamino drift at an event (DX2) in Toronto. Mr. Kida and Chunki Bai (Signal Auto) got in the back for a lap. They had to hold on the the roll cage for dear life. BUT IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
