Found this gem...

[LazyZed]

on one of my frequent searches of cars for import:

Convertible Silvia

If you know someone in the market for one of these, let them know as I would love to see it on the streets of perth :wassup:

(NB:this is not a plug for the importer, just thought you should check it out )

Cheers

i think there is a convertible s13 around perth

if I was hunting a new car, it'd be something like that .. i love the strawberry face ... VERY nice mods on the car too

[SeriesIIGTST]

now that is a dash mat....booyah! :wassup: and if it ain't a dash mat.... :throwup:

i thought Jeff Ash had an S13 Convertible... could be wrong

[MrGTST]

If only it wasnt a convertible....

I much prefer a hard top over my head

[G0DF4Th3R]

if only S15s came from the factory as convertibles

[funkymonkey]

and they did lol... Its called a Siilva Varietta made by Autech.

My mates got a convertible S13 with a 180sx frontend conversion, came from japan with shaved doors with remote hydraulic door openers, dumped to its guts, and the most pimping rims (like the ones you see on old chevy's) ever. Its like all the convertibles were bought by people that were insane about personalising the car.

The S13 convertables have soo much more structural reinforcement tho (Bootspace is halved and the pillars and top of the windscreen are about twice as thick) it weights the car down, and being only available as a 1.8L Auto its a bit restrictive.

I like that car tho, its very tastefully done. Dunno if Prestige ended up bringing the car down.

the only thing i dont like about it is the rear s13 lights gives away this car age and the red roof is not that great looking

[funkymonkey]

a guy from melb actually flew up to check the car out, he was that keen. The red roof and car colour is actually a standard Jag convertible colour scheme.

*grumble at pms mailing list shananigans*

that car and those photos have been on yahoo.jp for about a month.

as have many other "unique japanese cars that our exclusive buyers have located".

*end grumble*

[funkymonkey]

you learn to live with risbey's wording. I love his all inclusive disclaimer "the car is in good condition considering its age" which means it could have anything from a crusty underbody to immaculate panels.

Jeff Ash has a convertable S13

he also sold the strawberry face 180 to my friend

coz of that if i need oil and filters i go with him and we get it at a hell good price, like $40
