I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

RHD is for fags.

I will be closely monitoring any work done to this car, if you step across the rice-line again, I will cut your head off.

Yeah, duh, dumbass....

Squirrel broke his own bolt, I had nothing to do with it. I'm pretty sure he'll be receiving an all-new rear end now though. Gotta weld a diff, clean some shit up. His entire rear assembly now looks like shit. Got to convince him to get a bushing kit from NA Dreams, so cheap from them. (Going to buy it for myself as well) That would be sweet to get some parts straight from you guys though. Oh, and Madison chicks are stacked, muy props. :wink:

Don't do a RHD conversion! too much money and cutting up of a clean ass 240. get some kouki tailights a drop and some decent looking lightwieght rims and that thing will be fire!

It's funny you say that the rhd costs too much, then suggest he spend half a grand on some over-hyped tail lights. A rhd conversion costs very little, assuming you either get your engine in a front clip, or just buy someone's front clip they don't use. Oh, and it helps if you can weld or have friends that weld, that's the only potentially expensive bit.

If a RHD could be done cheap, it would problably look and feel cheap. Especially the welding which isn't something i would want to leave to my back yard tuning friends who can weld. but rather someone who has done those types of conversions b4. also issues with the wiring and windshield removal installation, tying up loose ends with the pedals, the dash, cabin harness, shift linkage/location, not to mention a front clip that will run you a few g's depending on what you can find. like you said, it would be great to find just the hollow clip from some1 who wasn't using it for anything but the motor but it would be frustrating trying to source out anything you had to replace off of it that may be broken or the previous guy ganked and whatnot. It is a PITA undertaking and alot of downtime w/o a car. It just seems like the money could be better spent without hacking up that car which is hella clean. Just my opinion though by all means do what makes you happy. good luck w/ it!
