The only thing about that "car" that doesn't incite my gag reflex completely are the semi-nifty vents infront of the rear wheels.

Edit: They came across kinda harsh, I have seen worse though.

I was looking at some pics and "rudee023" car looks like one of the nicest 240's I have ever seen. That is exactly what I personally would like to have only maybe a type x wing and perhaps yellow or flat black.

My car is the best looking. Stock, with minor upgrades so it is comparable to today's stock standards. Its condition is comparable to brand new cars: stock, glossy, and clean. The claybar made it smoother than my friend's 2003 RSX. Leather interior, not that tweed cloth or plastic shift knob. Simple Sony CD player, no extravagant LCDs. Stock 98 S14 seats, stock japanese turn signals, lowered 1". Clean stock engine, clean stock alloys, stock exhaust (with tips for aesthetics, just like today's stock corvettes).

Sneak peek

I'm not striving for turbo drifting performance greatness. Just trying to get it to today's factory standards as much as reasonably possible. Go Nissan.

yeah it was a toss up for the hippo s13 or the yashio s15. all of the yashio silvia cars rule. 89s13drifter what dont you like about the yashio car?? granted those pics dont really do it justice, but still it kicks the llamas ***.

i think (hope) 89s13drifter was joking by comparing Yashio Factory to that green Rice Monstrosity :D

i'm not. Reasons being 1- That spoiler is god awful (ok yes that car most likly might benifit from it, but it doesn't make it look nice. 2- the rear valance is hideous 3- the front bumper is a little overdone. 4- the scoop is ugly 5- the 1/4 panels don't match the car very well with those hard ends 6- the trunk doesn't match the 1/4 panels 7- single wiper blad is just tacky

I don't know maybe if it was a different color I might like it better but from what I see I would take my dented up pig nose s13 over that any day. And I love s15's

thats much better. on a scale of 1-10 I give it a 7.5, the other one would have been a .01. still is a little over done though but I can live with it. Question though if that is a Japanese car why does it say 240sx. They didn't have our car did they?

I'm sure you can find a 240 with a 180sx rear emblem... I think they like to do the same :pface

The reason the yashio factory 240sx has the "240sx" logo on it is because it was bought by Okamura-san through a car "importer" in japan. So its a US spec 240sx. He had originally intended to develop parts for the KA noticing the lack of aftermarket support but dropped the idea for the time being to take it to the tokyo auto salon. Yashio Factory cars are bad *** especially that s15.

As deftdrummer mentioned in another thread, this ones missing something up front, but to me is an example of the best looking 240's.

Loose the strips and wing IMHO.

Funny I would have never have thought anyone would want to import one of our s13s. I wonder if he had to go through all the crap we have to with importing. I hope this type of thing will catch on over in Japan. Maybe work out trades for nice JDM cars. I know, not a chance but a man can dream can't he?

nope... examine the turn signals... the gp sport are rectangles... while the kouki (and clear corners) are square...Clear Corners:

Kouki Aero:

but the real answer is this (i think)... the g-grow kit from taka kaira:D

Yes now thats what I am talking about. That s15 is so perfect it brings a tear to my eye. Send it off to an art show as a master piece. The 180sx is nice to, but not even close to that s15. How I wish they would have sold those cars here.
