Money spent better somewhere else......

There are many floating around but why not just leave it LHD and spend money modding it? I understand it PAYS(costs) to be DIFFERENT.......but unless you own a body shop or work for one, this is a conversion that just spells piles of wasted money.
Buy a EuroR motor/trans and call it a day!

Now we're talking! Why not just build a nice N/A motor?

Just don't buy a TypeS engine......buy a EuroR H22 w/ trans or an H23A VTEC and use a different trans(they are autos).
I just hate seeing wasted money.......
