Too much to list in a single post...

Step 1: Buy a JDM front clip.

 

well its fun. its good fun and bad fun. first consider parts. and time, seeing as it will take 1 person probably 2 months to convert it. start with a jdm front clip. depending on the motor you already have. get a clip with a jdm b16 2nd gen. theyre a fun motor to play with. keep it na. boost. lsv b20v. manymanymany possibilities. once youve gutted everything out of your engine bay removed your dashboard and every bit of anything in the way the real fun begins. theres like 146 spot welds you have to break. i drilled mine out. you can even hack it and cut the firewall out. depends on howm uch work you feel like doing. ligning up and how clean you want it to look. dont forget you have to remove 2 firewalls. one matters the other doesnt. take your time dont forget you wont have a car for a while. once youve removed both firewalls you start the pain stakeing process of welding hte jdm firewall into your car. take your time setting up. i used magnets i borrowed from my dads shop to hold the firewall in place, but i could still move it if necessary. i welded all the existing spet welds with small filler plates for the majority of hte strength and used seam sealer to clean up the look of the welds and fill all the gaps. piecing everything back together is pretty much the opposite of pulling it apart. when i put everything back together i made a custom wiring harness and tucked it behind the fenders and relocated all the master cylinders and brakelaines and clutchline, everything behind the firewall. it was the most thought involed fun of it all. once it was painted put backtogether and driving once again after just over 2 months of work i drove 1100km the day it was done. getting used to driving rhd full time was interesting. my friend explained it as it looked like i was a drunk driver. which actully i was pulled over 3 days after completion because the officer thought i was drunk. he actully came up to my now passanger side of the car and was intrigued by my work. he relised i wasnt drunk but he tryed to slap me with a 110$ fine for not having "right hand drive vehicle" on hte back of my car (a stupid minor law in ontario that i never heard of) but i talked my way out of it telling him how i built the car to the way it is. and kind of changed the topic and i think he forgot about the ticket which was good. its a fun conversion to do. it takes alot of time and i think i spent at least 3500$ on the conversion and build. but i dont regret it to this day. this wasnt ment to be a "how-to" i jsut breifly wanted to explain the work that needed to be done. and dont underestimate the word breif. theres alot of work to be done. as i said it takes time and it takes money. but dont let the work or anyone discourage you. you get hte greatest looks on the highway. especially when you have a friend in hte passenger seat reading a book. give it a shot. you wont regret it.
