My RHD S13 build thread

[arsa666]

Well, I do love s13's. But I dont get why you are RHD converting it? Isn't it a kinda a bad thing to have RHD car in a LHD country?

Here in Norway we have many RHD s13's and s14's, and their only purpose is as parts cars to LHD cars, or as track/drifting cars. Since its allmost impossible to register a imported RHD japanese car (as long as it's not a classic, 30 year or older), they tend to be cheap. Even the special editions are cheap since they can not be registrated

Dont get me wrong, Im not ****** on your build or anything. Still looking forward to see where this is going

i know where youre coming from on that. Its the same here, real rhd imports cost a whole lot to import into the country and it was so much cheaper to buy a front clip than to import a whole car. But as for why im doing it, its just personal preference.

Doing work. Speaking of work. We need to try and weld up a bracket made of STEEL for my ruckus exhaust 0_o... I have broken 2 aluminum brackets and it sucks. I'm running open header on the ruck.
