Re: S2000 RHD build
So sick, good luck with your conversion.
I would definatly do it if i had all your resources.
Forget the haters, they just hate their own lives
so they make up for it in the forums. cheers

Re: S2000 RHD build
In for the build...Great idea for a project, and don't mind the haters, they're just mad cause they don't have the time and/or paitience to do a conversion. I built a 99 RHD Prelude simply cause I wanted to see if I could do it and the fact that I've never seen one in my area. Every time I drive it, I'm always getting asked questions about it and it definitely turns heads.
Getting the car shouldn't be a hassle, at least it wasn't for me, cause I registared the car using the same VIN#, so it's completely street legal. I"ve even had cops pull me over in it and never said anything about the car being RHD other than the fact wondering where I had gotten it, and then when I tell them I built it, they're amazed. I"ve gotten out of a few tickets just for the fact that it's a unique thing to see. I'm actually gathering up parts to do another RHD Prelude conversion
Also for all the people wondering why not just ship one over. WEll, you have to ship it over in pieces and go through the hassle of dealing with customs, emissions, and getting it legal. By just building it here and registaring it under the same VIN#, it's less of a headach unless if you live in CA where nothing seems to be legal and driving on the right side of the car isn't any different than driving on the left side of the car. Everyone see the mail people doing it, so why can't the average driver do it?
DOn't forget, post A LOT of pics, cause these projects are very interesting

Re: S2000 RHD build
i never understood that arguement? unless you mean crossing the hashed marks to pass someone, but if you mean switching lanes? its the same as a LHD, just a the blind spot is when you are in the right lane instead of left now....
i say go for it. i havent seen many, if at all, RHD s2k projects. im considering doing a rhd to my nissan next year.

Re: S2000 RHD build
Not hating, i just don't really get the point of it. I think if i was interested in RHD i would buy a r33 or r34 skyline. I have always liked them.

newsflash: it doesn't take a millionaire to convert a car to rhd. all it takes is having time (see:socially awkward/no social life) and the fanboy mentality, which you seem to have established very well

Re: S2000 RHD build
OP, definitely post picks . I was gonna do a s2k rhd conversion last year but looked a lil overwhelming. In comparison to a eg or dc conversion.
My only suggestion would be to weld all possible seams. considering there is alot of stress on the firewall inthe s2k compared to other full body cars.
