Posted January 31, 200619 yr comment_154073 Upon seeing 4-door C110's many of my friends have remarked at how UNCOOL the 4-doors were and how totally grandma-spec they looked. Nothing amazing, exciting or desirable. The below link is for all you 4-door owners... inspiration, and possibly something to throw back in their faces when they say anything bad!! Look for yourself. :devious: http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d58633116 Those are 16x9.5 and 16x11s.... :o Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18727-four-doors-arent-cool/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 31, 200619 yr comment_154075 Yeah. 4 doors are way UNCOOL . . . . until they blow your doors off. I've taken on several idiots here that don't realize that my way UNCOOL taxi-cab spec 4 door has a six cylinder motor backed by a 5-speed tranny. I don't need to talk trash . . . . the car does it for me.

January 31, 200619 yr comment_154079 That looks hot, I must say it's the best 4 door I've seen and yet it's so simple. I have to get a set of Wat's like that . I also love the engine sure hopes mine looks that good. Did I mention I've got a set of Triple Mikuni's on the way 44's to be precise. If I was a multi-millionaire I'd have a huge factory full of cool Nissan/Datsun's Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18727-four-doors-arent-cool/#findComment-154079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 31, 200619 yr comment_154081 Ahh fantastic!!! :D THE toughest 4-door ive seen, 'specially with those 16" wats!! Interestingly, i know a few people who PREFER the look of the sedan, as it is a more balanced shape, at least in their eyes. Their argument stems from there being 'too much meat around the c-pillar of the coupe.' Personally, i reckon both shapes are well executed, the coupe a little more voluptuous...

January 31, 200619 yr comment_154085 Just about any old car that hasnt been hotted up with a nice set of fat mags and a shiney new coat of paint will get called grandma spec.Meh, who cares. doesnt bother me. Thats a nice looking 4 door. Seen one like it before.I read that the 4 door is actually lighter than the coupe because it has the b pillars to strengthen the chassis, and the coupe is pillarless so it has extra strengthening in the chassis to make make up, resulting in more weight.I also read that the 4 door c110 was made second, and that both the 2 and 4 door are exactly the same lenght / wheelbase.

January 31, 200619 yr comment_154086 The design does looks balanced though! It really fits. Maybe its the way the car is designed but I like it! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18727-four-doors-arent-cool/#findComment-154086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 31, 200619 yr Author comment_154088 Yup, true on both counts! Same length, width and wheelbase - the hardtop is 10mm lower though. 1973WEIGHT Sedan HardtopManual 1170 1180Auto 1190 12001976 & 1977WEIGHT Sedan HardtopManual 1200 1210Auto 1215 1225This information came from three owner's manuals, so the change in weight may not have occurred in 1976. In fact, it probably changed when the model was updated in 1975.

February 2, 200619 yr Author comment_154332 Curious... well I guess that means the change in weight occured in December or later! (you just missed 30kg, lucky! ) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18727-four-doors-arent-cool/#findComment-154332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
