Why RHD? It makes left turns, the most dangerous thing you do driving, even more dangerous.

It looks like you stripped the adhesive off the seams in the engine bay. Are you planing on stitch welding it?

[Galanttuner10]

y would you go RHD? not only like eclipsh said, but everything is now back wards and has to be reworked. not worth the hassle.

[eclipsh]

Looks like there is no airbag for the front passenger on the RHD dash either. Does the steering wheel have one? How will you manage your electrical system? I think you're making an already difficult project a hell of a lot tougher trying to do the RHD thing.

[Galanttuner10]

yea and its really not street legal after you cut off your stock front. all tubings lines etc are so messed up its not funny and any clutch line u put in will have about 3 feet of slack, all new brake lines etc. there is nothing cooler about being RHD unless you import a damn vr4 in my book and its not worth it.

[gotclutch87]

Just something I wanted to do and I'm taking the old fire wall out and welding the other one I'n not cutting the car I'n half. Yes wiring will be difficult but I think it will come out decent cars going to be street legal but not going to daily driven.

[Galanttuner10]

awd is a great feat. i would have fully built a 2.4 made it dohc got a 30r, link and all that jazz for the time and money you are spending doing that. unless you are rich of course. in which case, have at it

[keith6110]

wow, keep it up! Looks like its a clean 7g to mod.

Go Big or Go Home. . I respect the rhd swap because you're doing it ..also im in Omaha. Don't know how far you are but there's a solid 1g awd. Gsx here t the yard you might make use of. Engine gone but trannys there and driveline and brakes

[Galanttuner10]

We can't use a 1g drivetrain. We need 2g stuff.

Also don't misunderstand me, I respect the work you are undertaking but honestly don't seen point. You end up weakening the strength of the vehicle by cutting and welding and all that.

May I ask what really made you want to do a RHD conversion?

[gotclutch87]

I live about 5-6hrs away from Omaha and yes I need a 2g awd donor for the swap if it was a 1g I would of had 2 full parts cars lol but I got offered a full front rhd clip from a guy 2hrs away for 250 so I took the chance to do it wasn't my first intention I'm deff not rich man just wanted a project for the garage to mess around with :) thanks for the positive feedback guys and I understand where some of you are coming from just something j told myself I wanted to do so I didn't want to let myself down
