thought i'd post this here to ask.. tried the search but gave me trouble with the three letter thing... anyway:
I know its possible to convert the car to RHD. I know its not the easiest thing, but is it legal in the US, or would i be asking for a boat load of trouble by doing this? I also know its very unsafe, correct? but at the same time i realize how unique it would be and it just makes me ponder the idea.. thanks in advance

jcbass7 - Its not just interior gutted, its heater, brake lines, clutch line etc... it gones on till you think you have gone insane then there's more.
I will admit RHD is sick, I personaly love it even being right handed, for shows and daily driving its fun, althought limiting in traffic. There are 2 ways to tackle the harness, convert to a ST205 harness (I wouldent) or convert yours, lengthing, shortening, and all that good stuff. I will someday do a write up on it.

DTE First, Thank you for allllll the help so far. Yea i figured i'd have to move most of that. Just seems easier now with everythign out.. if the items i want to do it with fall through i doubt ill persue the idea in the near future. But i would love to have RHD. only a few people ive asked think its a decent idea. most of them think its rediculous, but i like the show aspect and uniqueness of it. Sometimes you just gotta attempt hard things to evenetually be able to do them. This car has been a huge learning process and im loving every minute. Thanks again for the tips/advice so far. How long did it take you to convert yours? |
