We've all seen them and loved them: the Nissan Sileighty. Basically a Nissan 180SX with a Silvia S13 nosejob and the end result is a very beautiful blend of a GT hatchback sportscar.

Now what would you do if you do have a Silvia frontend but don't have a 180SX? Take a Celica XX and swap the Silvia's nose on it!

WTF?! Toyota Silica?!
I don't have a better picture of it, but nevertheless it's looks are stunning!
So, Celica XX MA46 + Silvia S13 = Silica?

We had some family album photos with a Silvia S13 before and also had someone doing the peace sign, but this photo combines them both!

Be in peace with Silvia!
The Silvia is an early Q's model produced in 1988 powered by the trusty twin cam CA18DE and a four speed automatic.
The owners wife is posing in front of the car in the late 80s and according to him they drove the car in their honeymoon. Now that's a nice slide to put into your family album!

I finally developed all films I took with my analogue SLR (Zenit-E with Weltblick 135mm at full lens opening) at the Infineon raceway drift exhibition. I never took photos of moving objects at night so most photos were taken with a very wild guess: the light meter on the camera did not show anything at all, the Sixtomat lightmeter I use as a backup was stretched to its 1600 iso maximum and then calculated back with 5 stops since my camera had a black and white 100 iso film in it. To my surprise a lot of them actually worked out fine for some of the pictures!

Take for instance this photo of a competing AE86:

Competing Corolla GT-S AE86
I must say: not bad at all for a first time!

Also the Techno Toy Tuning 510 is still recognizable:

Could have been better if I would have had a flash with me, but nothing whatsoever in my camera bag... Next time I'll definitely bring along a strong one!

Here is another Corolla GT-S AE86:

Corolla GT-S AE86 going sideways
The picture is quite nice, but I'm not really getting the feeling it is going sideways. I should have either used a different angle or extended the timing a bit.

Perhaps a bit more like thiis Nissan 240SX S13 (with Silvia nosejob):

Nissan 240SX (Silvia S13 conversion) going sideways
Now I really get the feeling this car is going sideways. With a freezing flash it would have been a perfect shot!

And last but not least, a long exposure shot:

Long exposure shot
Not the best angle for these kind of pictures, but nevertheless still content with the result.

Take note that these are scans of the negatives (with a proper negative scanner) so I'll definitely develop these five as proper photos and see if I can stretch their quality a bit more! Also next time I'll include the next roll of film which was a 400 iso color film.

Five times Abunai Deka with in total five chases:

Too bad it doesn't come to a head to head between the Leopard F31 and the Silvia S13 in the fourth chase, but the roof-rolling Celica Camry in the last chase makes it all up!

How cool can your daddy be? Well if he drives a heavily modified S13 in 1997 he can surely drive his daughter around town during daytime:

And drift down narrow touges with his mates at night:
