    Wink Vuong's Garage RHD 240sx build thread

    I just bought my rhd clip and a 95 240sx. Im letting Vuong's garage do the rhd conversion and sr20 swap. Should be completed by mid September. I'll be updating pictures daily. Plans are front mount, paint entire car (bay and jams), kouki front, kouki taillights, kouki sides, jdm spoiler, jdm front and rear bumper.

    Unloading the clip



    About to pull out the motor



    Donor car

    nice, but may I ask why the RHD conversion?

    Is there any advantage over the disadvantage that's already there? I can totally understand if it's a true JDM car but why though?

    I'm not trying to be a dick, just very curious to as why.

    No it's not, a RHD serves absolutely NO purpose, while just about everything I can think of does. Sorry RHD converter not being a dick just saying it's purely cosmetic, unless you're doing some type of swap where you need stuff shuffled. lol

    I'd disagree. Driving a RHD car is easier for me to do, it comes more naturally, it makes parallel parking easier.... Now this guy is I'm sure doing it for looks.

    I rock RHD bc it's easier to throw eggs at prostitutes closer to the curb and with my right hand out the window.

    no. there is actually a point to that. but i just don't get rhd. I would never do it, but it is kinda cool. Also, if he has the rhd clip then why not? looking forward to see the progress.
