good start - can't wait to see the finish product - keep us updated dude -- the front bars - was that bolted on - or welded on?

#3

the red bars or the welded steel duct? the duct im going to go ahead and guess ram air for the stock intake box of the beams? and the red bars are obviously the headlight mounting brackets.

Good bye RHD - welcome LHD....... Today i finally primered my damn Engine bay - tomorow - painting

As for people who where thinking doing somthing like this (or vise versa) - dont even try if you dont have enouth patience..... I was ready to burn my car like 5 time atleast...... but somthing stoped me There are SOoooo Damn much things what are different what there is no way to even document them all.... not even talking about the damn Wiring nightmare.. And not having a full front clip it would be imposible to make this happen the RIGHT WAY...

If everything goes right - expect to see it finished by the end of this month



Found this Engine laying in my garage, dunno what to do with it - maybe some one needs it ???

i don't get it, why would you want to have a rhd over a lhd??

#24

Because driving a RHD celica in the states would be awsome. Then you could say that your car is a real japanese instead of half japanese and half american lol. I'd love to have a RHD celica also.

It comes down to this... As Americans Naturally we want what we cannot have.... RHD is something that has always been forbidden from us due to how we are as a country.... It's not that RHD is better than LHD because preferably I would rather have LHD so that I may shift with my right hand.... The image that is brought along with RHD is superiority to us. We want to be superior even if we do it unintentionally.... The only rhd cars that we are exposed to are items like a Skyline GT-R, st-205, and other menacing beasts.... It's all just a mindframe basically... it would be the same if we were RHD and romas had a lhd.... I hope that made sense and wasn't just rambling

ok, kinda figured it was something along those lines. it's pretty much the opposite here though ... you can for example get rhd supras with a few goodies for like half the price of a lhd one here, so my next car may very well be a rhd supra

Dustin - everything is ok This is how my life is, as i said - i wanted as the best - but it came as ussual I bought a full front cut of AT200 while waiting for you parts for so damn cheap... and im using al the parts from it - as for your box - everything was perfect (you guys cut the firewall like a PRO'S!!!!!) Only thing we didnt undestood eatch other - and instead of steering column (with this word i mean Steering rack what goes in the engine bay) i got another part

All in All THANK YOU JDM GUY
