Hey folks just wanted to get some opinions and discussion about what model S13 to use for an S15 conversion, coupe or hatch. I know it boils down to what I personally like best, but I am really torn between the two and would like to hear some of your thoughts. The only thing I ask is for the S15 conversion haters to keep that particular point of view out of this thread, as I already know you’re out there
Here are a few (hastily photoshopped) pics to check out:
Ypu should look for actual pictures of the conversion so you have more of an idea. PM angHELLic, I’m pretty sure it was him who had the converion done on the hatch. My vote went to hatch. I’m partial tho. :lol:
Actually both of those pictures are real, I just quickly “completed” the paint jobs on both of them (as they are both work-in-progress). The hatch has been my plan the whole time, but then I saw that coupe conversion again and started to wonder… Although the more I look at it, the more it seems that the S15 front makes the coupe look too bulky, but perhaps thats just the body kit the guy is using.
I was considering the convertible for my conversion, but after reading a lot about the extra stiffening required to get it even up to par with a stock S13, I have kinda decided against it…
