Silvia S15

[Pierscoe1]

am very much considering one of these as my next car.. (it's neck and neck with the rex at the moment)

only bit I'm not sure about are the rear light clusters... I have seen one with them converted to "lexus-style" clusters.. does anybody have any good pics of these fitted on a reasonably standard car??

thanks

ooohhh noooo,not lexus lights.Sorry but every no-brain chav type in the country has them.-Very unoriginal thinkingStill your boat to float.
Rx vs silvia,another tough choice.Silvia's often unspoken,underrated-lovely tho.If you have faith in the wankel motor-I'd lean Rex'ward.IMO.

hmm.. thought someone might say that..

lexus-style might be the wrong word...

they are round lights, with a clear cover over them, but the backing is black...
ah, just thought of a better example.. S2000.

here's an example:



I think they look much better than the chrome style found on corsas/escrots everywhere...

Standard S15 lights are nice. Just finding an S15 Spec R will be the hardest part.

Those look good,its the plastic/chrome ones that really turn me off!

[Pierscoe1]

tuttle, agreed :yesyes:

pulsatingstar.. there are at least 3 on autotrader (last time I looked), I find coming up with the required cash more of a problem!!

Last time I looked for an S15 on Autotrader they were all non-turbo models. I would imagine a Spec-R is pretty difficult to get hold of with asking someone like Newera to get hold of one for you. Gorgeous cars, but mechanically identical to an S14, so I'm led to beleive

[Pierscoe1]

not mechanically identical...

there are a number of improvements, not least the engine, with 250bhp as standard, up from 197bhp (iirc), and the 6-speed box. Think the diff is also better, and suspension revised... best to ask on sxoc.

just searched autotrader:
