Thoughts on Right hand drive conversions

[LiL PaKi]

I already know Yousef's... haha





why are you selling your RHD conversion?

i thought you were doing that conversion one of your numerous teggies?

it didn't come with the steering rack and a couple other things for the actual conversion, plus alot of ppl told me it's gonna be one big project and even if u do an allignment it will never run straight and that if i get into an accident my car will break in half..

for the sheer humor factor...i say you do it..... :lmfao:

sorry it didn't work out...i know you were excited about it...:goodjob:

har har har..

yea i was but oh well atleast I got the JDM front off it

awesome!

there you go...always a silver lining somewhere....


but it still would be funny when you crashed (and will because you can't drive) and your car breaks in 1/2.... :lmao:

[The Yousef]

i only speak the truth...

Hahahaha. Good point. Also if you deliever newspapers.

[~The_Duke~]

Just my 2 cents. If it wasnt imported from the UK or Japan I would just leave it LHD because other wise you are just going to be labeled as a want-to-be JDM person...

FUK THAT I IMPORT A FORD FOCUS RS FOR ALL YOU MUTHA SKUNKS

[~The_Duke~]

FUK THAT I IMPORT A FORD FOCUS RS FOR ALL YOU MUTHA SKUNKS

you shouldnt import the RS model unless it is an upgraded ST model...

It is something the size of a focus with one of those 5 cycl. turbo'd swedish motors in it...

[Kyle]

fuck that, I want an imported Lotus Elise from the UK...

Okay. I didn't say an S3 is the only thing I want to import. Those elises are not as fast as the ones we have, but you could get it cheap beacuse they have been there so long and they are domestics over there.

LOL THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS UPGRADING AN RS HOMEY :no: :rolleyes:

DO YA RESEARCH, ST170 IS THE UK VERSION OF A SVT FOCUS, RS IS A BEAST AND HAS LOTTA POTENTIAL.. I'D HOP INTO ONE IF THEY WERE OVER HERE :bump:

[~The_Duke~]

exactly...

I think the elise over here is $40K? They are only like $25-30K over there...

[~The_Duke~]

I dont know what you are talking about then lol

There is a model of the focus that doesnt look like the focus we have over here in europe. It is the Focus ST. I makes about 230 stock and is RWD (I think it is?) I believe. The motor that is in it is the same one or simlar to the one that mikey had in his S60R before he blew it up.

THE FOCUS THAT IS IN THE US IS BUILT ON THE SAME PLATFORM AS ANYWHERE ELSE, IT WAS ONE OF FORDS "WORLD CARS", THEY ARE THE SAME EVERYWHERE.. AS FAR AS OUTPUT, THERE IS NO RWD FOCUS MADE FROM FACTORY, AND EVEN COSWORTH VARIANTS ARE AWD. I HAVE SEEN A FEW CUSTOM JOBS AND THEY ARE A LOTTA FUN TO DRIVE I WILL TELL YA THAT LOL..

WHAT MOTOR DID MIKEY HAVE, I'M BETTING IT WAS A C30 5 BANGER (WHICH IS IN THE NEWER VOLVOS AND EUROPEAN FOCUS) OR THE T5 VERSION

[Kyle]

Maybe less they have had them for a long time.

the ST is FWD...and yes it is the same motor but detuned compared to mikey's.....the RS was a 2.0 liter turbo motor making 215 a believe...the new RS is rumored to be AWD and 300+bhp.... http://www.worldcarfans.com/spyphotos.cfm/spyphotoid/6061019.001/country/ford/ford/spy-photos-ford-focus-rs (http://www.worldcarfans.com/spyphotos.cfm/spyphotoid/6061019.001/country/ford/ford/spy-photos-ford-focus-rs)

I am not sure what motor mikey had. It was the one that comes stock in the S60Rs.

This is the car I speak of...

I think we are thinking of the same body style, but the one you are talking about has a bigger motor lol

[thinkfast®]

^^ YEA THATS THE SAME DURATEC THAT WE HAVE (DETUNED FOR US, OF COURSE)

SHIT IS HOT

[Kyle]

Oh shit elises in europe are only $18,000. I know this because when I was in europe last summer I pciked up the european version of autotrader called "exchange and mart" and there is an elise fro 10K euros and the exchange rate was 1 euro to 1.8 us dollars.

I like them also, I wish that would start making them\sending them over here...

[The Yousef]

not going to happen.... us emissions+crash standards= we got fucked

[Killer]

if it was made rhd and u bought it over seas, cool.. if not.. don't waste the money actually doing the conversion. just my thoughts.

[~The_Duke~]

not going to happen.... us emissions+crash standards= we got fucked

True...

It isnt like my car is going to pass emissions anyway after I finish the exhaust...

[PhAtBoYMr2]

Fake rhd conversion = Fucking rice

[DeutscheBAG!]

Okay. I didn't say an S3 is the only thing I want to import. Those elises are not as fast as the ones we have, but you could get it cheap beacuse they have been there so long and they are domestics over there.

the elise i want

powered by audi RS6 motor :eek:

[bigdare23]

Well back on the topic of RHD, I say do it if you have the time and patients. I wouldnt do because I'll be too scared of fucking up something, but if I had the right resourses who knows..............

[Jecht]

I think that most people that convert their car to right hand drive are doing it purely to show off. Its useless here in the states. All those drive through restaurants and banks - you'll never be able to use them. Along with removing these benefits of using those facilities, you are PAYING to remove them.

[TheSnail]

It depends. In my case it was nor spend 2k on a single turbo setup or 2k on mount kit that kept the twins. My broke ass went with alternative C.
