Topic #39567 7 posts Started by doGGy
Finally one of the STi's is on the road - still dont have fully finished pics cuz the new owner promised to send them to me once he get the car cleaned and registered. This Wagon came to me with the front damage (Owner asked to not put the damaged pics online so...) I organised all the bosy works, all the painting preparation for painting and etc + RHD to LHD swap. After this i installed FMIC (cuztom build piping from Aluminum) installed Tein Flex coilover system, fixed some wiring in the interior witch was left from RHD to LHD swap, and still in process to make front lips for the bumper and custom Foglight place covers to cover up the piping.

All in all this car is a Blast to drive.. With 320hp and a bit too much of lag (starts boosting from 4K) its still one of my favorite cars after SSIII biggrin.gif

Here are some pics:

doGGy how difficult is it to convert a car from RHD to LHD?

obviously you've done it quite a few times, but what about any of us regular people who are knowledgeable about the car? a few days? few weeks? it sounds like it's a lot of work.
nicest wagon i've seen in a while...

"I bet you drive a standard." "You could make some money off that bet." :D
Well it all depends on your skills and your equipment. if you have good cutting tool, good welder and hale all the swap parts (basicly ussualy im getting piece of the car cutted out with all the parts still in place what i could reasemble everything my self and see where all the wires / connections / parts go.)

Its not what hard - but it takes time for every single car to examinate it / find the best solution in wiring and etc. As for celica - it took me a week to make all the works but now im stuck on the steering gear and this thing drives me crazy cuz i can not put it back on road already 2 month cuz of this damn thing...

As for subarus - wiring is a nightmare... Everything else - is just hard work biggrin.gif
