>tfw when you call your car a Sileighty in real life on accident
Are you saying that you actually own a car?
Hey guys, we finally found him - the one who owns a car

>Sileighty
You mean "shitbox"? If so, then I guess I reveal muh power level on a daily basis
>>13996763
Now for the more serious question; are Sileighties a thing in the US, or are they basically contained to Japan?

FECK
OFF
MATE
>>13996769
You could make a Sileighty anywhere, no?
Although I guess in Europe it would be more of a "Silhundred" and in the US it would be a "Silforty".
>>13996789
Ofcourse you could, I'm just curious if its a thing people do in the US enough that its something you might actually one day see in real life
Might not even be legal where I live... or, I'll do another and say that its 99% for sure illegal because fuck everything fun
>>13996789
>>13996769
It's a 280zx with a silvia front end
>>13996769
They are. They are still called Sileighty even though it should be Silforty. It doesn't make much sense unless you want the look because the parts cost over $1500 for a Silvia front end.

>it doesn't make much sense
Are you retarded
It's lighter and cheaper
>>13996809
I know what they are, I'm simply asking if people are taking an interest and doing these conversions in the US, or if its mainly something that people have heard about but nobody really wants or do themselves
>>13996814
Not in the US, which people do them. It's not much lighter either, like 50lbs at the most.
>>13996818
People do them in the US, which is what I meant to say.
>>13996824
>like 50 pounds
You act like this isn't significant
Also it definitely is cheaper
>>13996838
Not in the US, where Silvia parts are expensive
>>13996902
Again, wrong

1600 dollars. If you wrecked a 240SX you can easily find 240SX parts to replace it for much cheaper.
>>13996942
Haha no kiddo
>>13996759
>anon
>owning a car
I mean, OP probably called the bus he rides a sileighty and got some weird looks.

It isn't significant, not 1500 bucks significant at any rate. Especially not when the same results can be achieved with the driver skipping their sixth helping of hot pockets and hitting the stair climber for a bit and only filling the gas tank up halfway.
