Tomica Limited 0133 Sileighty RPS13 Kai

2011-12-19T05:43:00.000-08:00

A Sileighty (シルエイティ) is a Nissan 180SX with a Nissan Silvia's headlights, front fenders, hood, and front bumper installed, hence the 'Sil' in front and the 'eighty' rear. a short form is Sil(via)(1)eighty(SX).lol

The Sileighty (also written as Sil80) originated through early street racers in Japan who owned Nissan 180SXs with damaged front ends. Because the Silvia's front panels and lights were lighter and cheaper than the 180SX replacement parts, many drifters used these parts instead. Unknown to the public until the release date, these end user modifications inspired a Japanese auto shop, Kids Heart, to produce a small number of so called "official" or "real" Nissan Sileighties. It is on record that 500 cars were made by this shop, and were only sold in 1998, possibly through Nissan dealerships

Besides, This Sileighty also famous as it appear at Initial D, a blue Sileighty drive by Mako and Sayuki.

This Tomica Limited 1st release inside Tomica Limited Initial D 6 cars set. Until this year, Tomica release in normal Limited box.

He is most well known for making Mustangs for Ford Motor Company known as Mustang Cobras which he has done since 1965. His company Shelby American Inc., founded in 1962, and currently sells modified Ford vehicles, as well as performance parts) would also enter a pair of 2000GTs to compete in the SCCA production car races competing in the CP category. Initially Shelby built three cars, including one spare. Although performing well (2nd & 3rd), 1968 was the only season the car competed in the US. Toyota took back one of the cars and rebuilt it into a replica of their record car, which still resides in Japan. The two remaining Shelby cars still reside in the United States.
