I was totally looking for it after you said that, and after about 30 seconds I realized it was on the other side...

Nice goodies for the SR!

One thing though and don't take this the wrong way. It's never made sense to me why people want to do a RHD conversion. You'd have to readjust to driving on the right side, shifting with your left hand, and it's a PITA job. I guess people might argue that it'll clear up more room for the turbo, but there are other ways aroudn that. I know it's not my car and I give you props for your project, but rhd IMO are kind of pointless. I just wonder why people like doing rhd conversions.

man, im happy i live in WV, ive only seen like 2 other 240s, everyone drives regular cars. pontiacs, chevy, dodge, etc.

only a small handful of people here do anything to their cars, and those who do arent good at it at all. gigantic body kits, poor paint jobs, fart cans. no suspension work. steelies, normally. pretty depressing.

MORE UPDATES, PREEZ

I take it you havent tried them on yet? I think you might need a 5mm spacer. Im no wheel expert but im sure 10mm might be too big.

Cudos to you sir on a really nice build.
