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.

Couldnt said it better, They see the thread topic, get excited and think of
some stupid insults to say once they get in it. If you really posted in here
just to tell him its dumb, or not worth it, save the crap talk, internet queers.

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

go through the drive threw reverse? naw you just go through normal so you can reach over the girls lap when you hand them the money lol. I just finished a rhd db8 last week, its getting painted now, had no problems with that, so the s2000 doesnt worry me too much. Weather is supposed to get shitty in 2 weeks or so, Ill be sure to post a ton of pics as soon as I start tearing her apart. I plan on doing a full wire tuck, and shave the bay at the same time

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.

god, you are such a fanboy it's unreal. y0 imma roll on u wit mah rhd cuz i lewk k00l on da wrong side

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

Its because you can't see if anyone is coming in the other direction as easy. Guess you can always ask your passenger if another car is heading towards you before you pass. If you have someone with you. Depends if RHD is worth risking your life for.

Everyone says do it because its different - its different because its retarded. But thats just me.

It'll work just need to get the rear frame mount for a DA ...That way it will bolt up to the crossmemeber/sub frame.

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.
