i didn't wanna redo my old one. it had a fully built 99spec itr motor, so i really didn't want to rip it apart and dump much more money into it cuz it was nice the way it was but i just wanted an even minter shell than what i had. all the new parts i was saving for the grey one are now going to go on my new one which only has about 111k on it. anyway, here some pics of my old car (which is now JhorickJFL's)...

Looking good!

Anybody know if this swap has been done on a RHD yet?

Is this a true EF8 or a conversion?

yes, it's a real rhd ef8. and there are a handful of rhd k20's but most of them being overseas. this proposes the same problems on my car like the mounts not fitting properly b/c the frame rails are different, the tranny mount being too wide etc.

my biggest problem was sourcing out a manual rack for a rhd but i've already got one straight from honda primo. it came complete with tie rods and all (thanx chris). i'm also converting from cable clutch to hydraulic with a wilwood clutch master cylinder.
