"Ok, Strawberry comes from japanese trying to pronouce sil-80 and the one five thing... kinda sounds like strawberry and ichigo is strawberry" -- saids the japanese girl turner studing at SCAD I pump for information... SHE DRIVES A SKYLINE GTR AT HOME...

ok, instead of starting a new thread... what about aftermarkert hoods... fit or no?

and I've seen s13.5 on a bunch of forums, it wouldnt be any of the xxs13 because the xx stands for pop lights. S-something stands for a silvia. most of the time when talkig with friends, I say "s15 sil-80" cause what if you do a s14 convo on a rps13? wouldnt that be a "s14 sil-80" and a sil-80 is a sil-80...

Lol, let me go ask Miko...

Strawberry face was the name of A COMPANY. They made conversions for S14 and S15 front ends on 180sx's. Think they went out of business though....

Coincidence I guess. I never did understand why they would say one-five instead of just 15. Is ichi-go so much easier than juugo? Same with hachi-roku instead of hachijuuroku......

Wrong! That is just an S15 Sileighty. Some call them Sil1580s but they are realy still just Sileighties.

You are absolutely...100% Correctomundo! Strawbery face is a term for the S15 front on any other car. Srawbery face Sileighty is an S15 Sileighty. You can also have a Strawberry face S14. ..or a

I have NEVER heard of that. Strawberry face is a very common term for the S15 face...NOT a company.

well, any way you look at it, they're all sweet! it think i'll just go for the S13 silvia front end, cuz i can't afford the S15 one (even though i luv that one, too). i even dig the R32 front end conversion. has anyone seen an S14 or S14.5 conversion on a hatch before? if anyone can post up a pic (or if you da man/woman @ photochoppin ), i'd like to see what they would look like...

by the way, my bad for jackin ur thread, Tru!
