Friends who have seen "Head Text D" must have a deep impression of the blue Sil80. Among the few female drivers in the anime, the driver of this Sil80, Makoto Sato, and her partner Sayuki are definitely super beauties. They are members of the "lmpact Blue" team, because the home is in the iceberg, and Makoto and Sha Xue are also known as the "Ice Twins".
Makoto Sato fell in love with running mountains after seeing Ryosuke Takahashi's race, and because she didn't understand mechanics, Sayuki became her mechanic and navigator, and after buying the Sil80 together, she continued to practice, becoming the fastest car on the treacherous and curvy iceberg. Because of the accidental repair of the car, and the encounter with Iketani, the two people who have never been in love have a good feeling, but due to Iketani's misunderstanding and cowardice, the two eventually failed to come together, the lost Mako drifted deep on the accelerator in the lonely parking lot, and the Sil80 light on the mountain road did not seem to light up her love road.
Speaking of this Sil80, which makes Tuohai's father confused, has a very interesting history. Iketani was driving the Nissan Silvia S13 model, and in 1989, Nissan designed the S13 with hatchbacks and jump lights, leading to the later 180SX. The SX is the definitive name for Japan's overseas export version, in fact, Nissan initially planned to merge the 180SX into the S13 model, but in 1991, the 180SX and Silvia were officially separated in 1991 due to the stability of the 2.4-liter 240SX, which is popular in North America.
Like Honda Prelude at the time, the Silvia and 180SX audiences were mostly young consumers who had no money but wanted to buy sports cars or love to play cars. With front-facing rear-drive layouts, powerful power, hatchbacks or Coupe, the Nissan of the year will have you covered. I have to say that the hatchback shape of the 180SX is really good-looking, but also loved by young fans, but because of the collision of racing, drifting, the daily maintenance cost of the flip lights is much higher than Silvia's light group (it is said that the price of the front parts of the 180SX is 3 times that of the Silva front), so the smart people, choose the body of the 180SX and replace the Silvia headlights, after all, the two cars are sister cars, it is not difficult to change, with a handsome body does not delay playing with the car, This was the true best of both worlds, so it also became the first choice for drift cars that were very popular at the time.
With the gradual popularity of this modification, Silvia's front +180SX body is known as Sileighty (the name is taken from Silvia's Sil, eighty is taken from 180SX), so there is also the Sil80 of the Ice Twins. This stitching modification method is called nicoichi, and many people in the used car market consider such modifications to be accident cars, except for the Sileighty.
After all, such a modification is not officially launched, a Nagoya modification shop in 1998 to Nissan to make the official version of the Sileighty request, the good news is that the official really launched 500 units, you can also optional Nisseo limited slip differential, after the sale was instantly sold out.
The Japanese really can play, in fact, there is a reverse splicing, with the 180SX front with the body of Silvia, known as Onevia, but because the S13 was discontinued early, so this modification method did not become popular.
The blue hatchback body, the JDM-style square front face, multiple spoke wheels and the handsome ducktail make this Sil80 look particularly attractive; the brakes on the front disc and the rear hub, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine codenamed SR18DET, can easily output 230 horsepower after being modified by The True Son, although the horsepower is not large, but the 1240 kg weight and the layout of the front and rear drive are enough to make it walk freely in the corners, and when the beauty of the Front Disc and the rear hub exhibit superb driving skills, this one on the iceberg" The Blue Elf "Sil80" came to my mind again.
When the engine sound fades away and you can no longer see its taillights, you will find that what you can't buy is a dream, what you can't catch up with is youth, and I believe that Sil80 will be the same as you, on the road (life) (middle) continue to challenge every bend (difficult).
