well maybe i should show my rhd project still not done!

[burninskulls0911]

what about the electrical?are you using the rhd chassis harness? or what?

[KakkoiiRacing]

he's most likely using the harness from the donor clip.i dk for certain, but best guess would say that it's the easiest way to go considering he's building the setup as it was from the factory.

also, major MAJOR "props" for the amount of work you've gone through to get this far. keep up the good work on everything and don't get too discouraged. people on here seem to get fed up and say "to hell with this PITA, i'm gonna sell this &%$#*@!!!" i can't wait to see you get this thing rolling!

im actually going to use the body harness that was in the car already! i tried to wire up the clips body harness but i wasnt to sure about some of the wires were pretty different! so i cut up my original harness up and wired it back like it was but i wasnt to happy with it! so i went and bought a whole body harness from another car at my local pick n pull! so what i did was just flip the harness around...so the fuse box is in the rhd spot the only thing i have to do is switch some wires and extend my fuel pump plug! the only way to make this work is to do a semi tuck in the engine bay! also i had to extend wires from the bottom part of the engine harness or call it the transmission harness but thats it really! i just hope everything works but it should because nothing on the new body harness is cut! if you need any info hit me up!

hey thanks for the props bro and yea im just going to keep pushing along! and i cant wait to get this car rolling to....plus the way i see it......its more to my benefit to take this long on a car...because this would be my first build that i built almost from the ground up....so i'll be ready to build a rat rod i want to build!

Man your is really coming along. Its gonna tight when its complete. It kinda of inspires me to maybe do a conversion one day. Cant wait to see the end pics. How much has it cost you so far and how did the whole RHD parts cost? Just wondering how much it might cost for me to build. Keep up the great work.

thanks bro...ummm the whole car and all the parts that i have about 3000 to 4000 dollars into it....and my front clip cost me 60 bucks...some guy just needed it gone from his drive way and he hooked me up...of course the clip had no engine but yea!

[tramp_drift240]

its always nice to see updates on a sweet project.

and it makes it that much better than you use exclamation points after every sentence instead of just a period, it makes everything that much more exciting sounding!!

[IGotIt4Cheap_84]

Sound like you got a steal. Maybe one day Ill be posting pics of a project like that. I got the space to do it but time is limited. One day.... lol

[Veriest1]

Looking good. I was looking at those trans-dapt adapters just yesterday and was wondering how they work out but it looks like yours came out nice.

How did you figure out which one you need? I think the one you linked to is the same one I was thinking would fit the KA but now I'm not so sure....

FRAM? K&N? Go to an Advace store and ask for Purelator PureOne.Ping-Pon! You just bought the best on the shelf oil filter.

[SecretS13]

i tired using the rhd body harness in my car but it would turn on the fuel pump nor would it give spark to the motor...i have a ka24de....i tried a lhd harness but it still would turn on the pump or anything

yea this is just a filter my pops had laying around in our garage from his old ford. so instead of just leaving it as is i put the filter on so that way the engine is sealed up and no dirt and dust gets into it. plus its going to be my start up filter because after i start it and just drive it down the road i'll change the oil. the engine has been sitting for awhile so might as well do it.

well make sure you have all your grounds bolted down. and you have a whole complete rhd body harness? because your stock one should be fine. make sure no fuses arnt burned out on any of the body harnesses. well let me know if you need anymore help bro!

[SecretS13]

you wouldnt happen to have a picture of the body harness so i can see if ihave it all?

thanks!

[k00laid83]

no i dont bro sorry man its pretty straight forward.

[bloodsport]

are you going to put clamps on your oil filter relocation? lol

[sviellvoicae]

dude where did you get those tail lights??

[k00laid83]

dude where did you get those tail lights??

from this guy....he took off his silvia front end for the piggy....i guess he likes it dirty like that lol thanks for the lights sviellvoicae! lol

[k00laid83]

well today i didnt do much i just installed a new slave cylinder on the transmission and hooked up my ss line to it...also i put in my old ka vss into the transmission and shortend the wire. i did that because im using the type x transmission harness and i had to do a bit of rewiring. i was suprised only two wires dont match but they are similar. anyways i decided to pull the valve cover because my brother was arguing with me that something had to be wrong with the engine. he only thinks this because i picked up the whole swap for 300 dollars. so we pulled it and this is how it looks!



i don't know but it seems to me that its a good block!

[sviellvoicae]

dude looks really good! congrats! hopefully soon we can cruise together. you are what my sig is all about. nice work

[k00laid83]

[k00laid83]

hey whats up guys i've gotten most of the body work done only thing left is the hatch, the rear bumper, and one fender to be finished up. also i installed carpet to see how it would look for now and im pretty happy with it for 25 bucks, and i just picked up a short shifter for the car. and i also installed manuel seat belts from a 94 integra i have as a parts car...it actually fit very well...ok here are the pics.
