that TRUST exhaust is f-n FRESH!!

[SR24DET]

WOW, thats nice. How did you do the RHD swap? Did you cut out the fire wall and weld in the RHD one, or did you redrill the OEM one? I have seen both ways done b4. Im guess you redrilled the OEM one.

[noobdrftr]

[sr20detRcr1]

[santana56]

how mush time and money did u sink in the project???

[sr20detRcr1]

umm

i got the shell for $450, and i had 3 rhd clips and all that for like $300(for all of them) then 300 for labor on the conversion and then from there just other **** iwanted etc.

[santana56]

wow u did good its always better to do your own work...i did most of the work myself but im still larning, goodluck...

[sr20detRcr1]

wow u did good its always better to do your own work...i did most of the work myself but im still larning, goodluck...

the firewall was the only thing i didnt do on this shell, and i let someone do it who has done the conversion 10+ times before do it.

[santana56]

thanks good advise...im doing an sr20 swap on mine do u have any more picks from your swap for help???

[uselesswingsr4penguins]

sweet ride bro looks really good, my mom lives in portsmouth suprised i havent seen that car around yet...im planning on going rhd on my car in the spring you will have to pass on some websites to get some of the parts...especially that firewall

yeah thats wut i was thinking as well. specially with swaps.

from one silvia owner to now another cars look great, swaps and conversions are clean and tastful. rattlecan job on the engine bay turned out like mine, looks great. its amazing how much difference a couple 7$ cans of paint will make. imo the 180 front end would look better with a subtle kit. but the other sil looks awesome now just get rid of that two tone thing u got goin on:P. cheerz man hope to see some more progress.

ps. lol, the drive thru thing. ive done that before at a couple places. most dont serve u its fcukin gay.

where in the world did you get three clips for $300?!? i want one foe that price... and yes i do realize they are empty.

[Coeur de lion]

Nice dude! Fuggedahboutit!

Hahaha, I always want to take the time to RHD one of my 240s...but..I'd need help big time and no one wants to. +money.

[darens13]

you guys realize how old this thread is, right?

[BrianHarte]

Love that house in the background.

[Chris28]

Lol this is really back from the dead. He doesn't even have that car anymore. He technically doesn't even have a 240.
