View Full Version : coupe / fastback question + body kits


coupe / fastback question + body kits

this may sound like a stupid question, but i was wondering if the wheel-base for either models of s13's were the same distance apart. i know the coupe is a longer car.. but could it be possible that the window just slopes down to the back wheel on a fastback, but retains the same wheel-base?

i dunno... just wonderin. .. might pick up a coupe, they are beginning to make me drool alot.


and 1 more thing.. can u guys post some silvia s13 bodykits (no fastbacks, ive seen enuff, but sileightys are fine cause they have same front end) ive only seen a couple that i would be highly interested in, so if u guys can post some that u've seen, it would be greatly appreciated.

This is the Daishin silvia s15 that i converted into an s13 and removed the stickers off of cause i dont like advertisements (the internet did me in) i did this with photoshop... took about 30 mins... i always liked the daishin silvia and the JGTC 300 AE86 Corolla (cleverly numbered car #86 :bigthumb: )


what u guys think of the car (NOT THE IDEA)
i think this pic looks awesome
the whole headlight thing wont be really hard... since the corner lights are separate, they can be mounted on slightly off-90 degree angle that they are bolted on in stock form.. so the only thing is the custom fab of the fenders ...

I dunno man...The Fastback is more aerodynamic:biggrin:

RalphCare

for a second, forget that the fastback exists, and look at that car.. what do u think.

Ok I don't have a car anymore:frown:

anyways

this bumper may be a good start since it looks similiar

Get an OEM style C/FRP hood and throw this on there.Gotta cut the hood though to make it functional:wink:
http://www.raretrick.com/store/images/products/6641_prime.jpg
Then this to make it look cool j/k it'll help airflow going under the bumper

And some canards
http://216.55.128.40/sonnic2/ExtImages/canards.jpg
Gotta have a wing to help downforce on the rear too
http://216.55.128.40/sonnic2/ExtImages/rotora_wing.jpg
and some aero mirrors cuz the OEM ones are not very aerodynamic

The Fenders shouldnt be that difficult with some $$$

yeah i was gonna say that front bumper is a perfect candidate (URAS ONE).

how much u think those fenders will cost to make? and thanx for all the help btw. :biggrin2: :bigthumb:

hey ghostchild316


how much u think the fenders would cost to make? not to install or anything , just to make.


my dad is thinkin 300 for each fender.
like, if i go somewhere and give them the original s13 fender and tell them to make a new one and widen it out.. they probably wont know what car its from, so they wont charge me like a million bux cause they wont think its from a BMW and charge me more because i seem to have the money.

know what im saying?

I don't have a clue to really about how much they would cost..

I kinda planned on buying the vented wide fenders and rear overfenders someday in the future for my car..

If you were going with the FB I'd say use these..

yeah i wouldnt mind those either, but i cant find em for s13-facia

slix

widebodt vented fenders are basicly a second pair of the same fender as on the body, just attatched and portruding 2-3 inches

slix
07-08-2003, 02:37 PM
so if you wanted 2 save some cash, just buy a pair and find a shop that will get em 2 look natural on the body

For the rear yea but for the front it's actually a whole new fender

RalphCare
07-08-2003, 05:16 PM
yeah but when i mean wide, i dont mean like... fat.. i mean wide as in stretching out whats there... like the pic i had posted.. maybe not as much, but u know...



i love the agasthiya kit too, but i dunno how much custom fab on that would be.

RalphCare

i love the way those skyline and those s15 fenders have that small top ledge look.. like the have a line going straight across and everything above that body line is on a tighter angle... i dunno if u guys know what i mean, so ill show ya'z!!!:biggrin:

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/294265231804_7_full.jpg


this would compliment the front wider fender so much.. cause the rear fenders that they have now are shit.. what the hell is 18 mm wider.. im not painting for a whole custom fender for just 2 centimeters.. fugg that!!! :thefinger

ghostchild316
07-08-2003, 06:39 PM
18mm?You sure about that?

I've seen some onerfenders for the rear 55mm over...but they're not nice and sharp like that though...

RalphCare
07-08-2003, 11:23 PM
but it would be so damn nice.. admit it!

hell of an offset for the back wheels though :bloated:

What kind of race car would it be without paying attention to downforce on the rear???

The guy that wanted the URAS back bumper can have it!!!
