Re: Motor Importer

A RHD conversion probably isn't really worth it. It's extremely time/money consuming and unless you really Know what your doing, you could mess up your car really easily. jdmracingmotors.com is supposed to be pretty reliable, and flashoptions.com has a lot of clips if you insist on doing a RHD conversion.

Re: Motor Importer

I cant help that im a JDM freak. and oh it will be an onevia. lol but iv done the swap b4 on my 180sx yes i said 180SX!!! i dont want to say it went by smoothly but i got it done. and i had a RHD EF civic as my first car so iv done it b4 but i sold the civic and totaled the 180 but now i live in a crappy town in ohio so my resources arent as good as they used to be. the only car that i have that isnt RHD is a 97 cavalier with a blown engine. i guess you can say i have bad luck with cars.

Re: Motor Importer

So....

...within maybe 2 years of driving, you've managed to own four cars ,ruin two, and sell one?

Where are you from anyway? No one from the U.S. mistakes a 240SX coupe for an actual Onevia. Nor do they own two RHD cars by 17.

exactly, your back in the US. So lets act like it. Its ok to do the rhd swap and what not. But dont go calling your car what its not. That is rice.....very rice. true jdm style huh? Then import the actual car, because its nothing but a clone if its otherwise. My car looks like a silvia.......but its not.

Re: Motor Importer

and dude, why wasnt your cavy rhd? toyota sold a cavalier in japan for a year! cmon jdm dude you didnt know that? you should be ashamed of yourself.

just by swapping a motor and changing what side of the car you sit on doesnt make your car a onevia, 180sx, silvia, ect.

maybe you have had this "bad luck" because your more worried about calling your car what its not than actually making it run right...
