my bad guys, never again. sticking strictly to the serious thread writing, hopefully i'll be able to start documenting the stroker kit install soon....
 
it depends on the hatch you see alot that people have trashed and they just look like shit...i prefer the look of a coupe. all my enblams are shaved and i love having people ask me what the fuck it is cause all there is is the silvia enblam on the hood and thats it...i think they all should be shaved
Blam!!!!!!

The doers just keep the doing to themselves :thumbsup
Bingo!
We pretty much just entered fail town. :rotflmao
Shit son we derailed this fail-train at 120 going into failtropolis.
Sorry ka24indepth.

:D
 
The hatch has better weight distrubution but the coupe is lighter and very likely a bit stiffer in the rear. I'd go with a coupe for drifting (easier to spin rear tires) and a hatch for a DD or anything else.

The coupe looks better IMO, but the hatch is much more functional. I like stereos (and subwoofers :)) and the hatch is better suited to my application. I have carried around a full set of tires and on a seperate occasion two front S13 fenders and 2 12" subwoofers in a box in the rear of a hatch. The hatch can also fit a 20" bicycle where as the coupe would have no chance of fitting a bike.


Function before form. That's been the #1 rule of all of my vehicles. Coupes are nice but the hatch is more functional for my use as a daily driver.
 
If I had to choose between the hatch or the coupe, i would go coupe simply because its lighter, looks better (well at least for my taste), althought the s13 coupe seems to have alot of understeer when it comes to drifting, but its nothing you cant handle, just pull that e brake to adjust, oh and yea i own one so its the best of all the 240s HA!!!!
 
S13 Coupe Owner

Here's how I rank the S chassis in order of sex-appeal:

S15
S14 Kouki
S14 Zenki
S13 Coupe, w/Silvia conversion (let's face it, that's how they should have been shipped over in the first place)
S13 Coupe Convertible w/Silvia conversion (see above)
S13 Hatch

Please people, stop putting Silvia front ends on you hatches!
 
"Once you go coupe, hatchback is poop."

I have a coupe and I honestly like it much better than the hatches I've been around... I prefer the style over the hatch, regardless of trunk size difference. But, that's just one man's opinion.
check it said best right here^^^

I've owned both but pick the coupe any day more sleeper look to the untrained eye, therefor less tickets.proven fact!

and I like the look better
 
coupes are better. because it has a sexier name. hatch sounds like an STD

and in french, coupe means cut. like we cut down our enemies, or cut through the air in our better car
