No matter what I do, it's still a Cavalier.

cant wait to see the rhd conversion complete! itd be unique if you swapped a 3sgte or a sr20det bluebird haha

why would he? the Ecotec in it is a super stout motor if built proper. Reason why you can buy a book from GM on how to make 1200hp out of these little motors with every part # you'll need.



HoowYbrow, You going to use the JDM front fenders? I hear their wider then the USDM's.

They are a relatively simple quarter-turn fastener. I'll try to remember to grab some better pictures when I fully install them.


Got the engine back in tonight, I swear I'm getting WAY too good at this. Sat on the stool and stared at the engine mount area for quite a while, and finally laid down a design on some paper. Measured it up and finalized a couple drawings. Hopefully my cousin will fold up the first major piece of it tomorrow and from there I can finish the rest of the mount over the weekend.

For now, here's some pictures of the engine in it's home.... again, this time with both wheel tubs and 90% of the metal work finished.

i spy 1jz e30 =]

wow, car is looking awesome man! Glad to see the wheels turned out so well, the wider lip looks really good!

That being said, I have found 4 cavaliers in Japan that are 100% complete cars. They're relatively cheap and they have a few items that I really wanted to find, aswell.

We'll see where this goes.

I'm curious as to how you found those and what the price range including shipping and all that crap comes to because there are a few parts I would love to get my hands on aswell!

This fuggin guy. lol

Now you just need toyota badges and junk.

Haha, no badges for me.

where about's in Ontario are you? I'm definetly gonna have to come for a drive a see this in person, I'm in Quebec so could get me some new scenery to go driving around with my car next summer!

I'm in Stratford, pretty southern in Ontario.

Looking good.

Is it wrong some of the updates I enjoyed the most are the fabricated trans mount and quick disconnect bumper?

Thanks. I don't think that's wrong at all, good to know people enjoy that stuff, too!

Well I'll be...

Godspeed you, sir.

Thank you!

Minor update/bad news. The RHD clip that I had previously mentioned, is, well.... not in as great of shape as I had previously hoped.

<- me

carry on.

Your blessing eases my decision!

You have got to be kidding me :0 I've been wanting to do a RHD conversion but was never crazy enough to do it!

You'll be my hero for doing it, kudos to you

Thanks dude, was super unexpected... and honestly couldn't be happier.

Are you fucking kidding me...


ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?

Jeff, just stop. This is an unhealthy amount of work for a Cavalier.



Fuck game over.

Ill be the first to say i usually **** when people take a cavalier or any other off the wall car and try to modify them, but im gonna keep my mouth shut here because this car is pretty damn awesome. And its not just awesome for a cavalier....its just plain awesome.

Appreciate it, dude!

So, does this now make it, dare I say, JDM?



Looking forward to how this all turns out. Didn't even know there were RHD Cavi's.

I hope like hell I can see this car in person when it's done.

I am sure we'll meet up sooner or later! You're in NY yes? That's not all that far away!

I saw the IG post, and man am I excited

Thanks dude, I am too!

[milano_red]

I saw the IG post, and man am I excited

[andybob]

You are correct, Andy.

I also got a PM the other day stating "you should buy my RHD clip".....


So, I did.



Shit just got out of hand.



Again.
