Ya not to be a jackass but ya that is completely pointless. RHD to LHD would be a better idea for a project because it at least makes sense. ---

yeah seriously. when you show up at tim hortons in your fake 180 that cost more then 2 real 180s, im sure youll get some laughs lol My plans for winter. - Gut rear - Get mark to make me a sick cage - fix any found rust - paint interior - multilink - new head gasket - big radiator - front bumper with lots of ducting - midmount intercooler - finally mount my oil cooler - maybe some beefy tires and over fenders ---

Nice stainless steel exhaust with resonator and high flow cat, lot of bushings, rear brake rotors, probably new rear calipers, ka-t t28 setup, coilovers, rust proofing, fixing rear wiper and defroster (lol), new rustless hatch, new gas tank strap. etc… so much to do! All while keeping it as a daily driver! Downtime will be shitty…TTC ftw. ---

I’ve collected almost all parts necessary for S14 conversion (with upgraded shat) for less than $300. Definately alot less than the cost of two 180’s :rolleyes: Unless you are paying someone to do the conversion, it is cheaper. ---

Regarding the 180sx swap…ask that guy if he’d do it again for himself? I bet he’d say id rather just buy a 180sx with $$ rather than make one with my labour. I wouldn’t even do 1/2 the custom stuff i did to my red car a second time unless it was a job i took on for some one that i was charging for. However that guy definitely learned a tonne of skills etc than the dude who just went out and bought a 180sx. Props to him! Learning experiences are forever. ---

Props to him! Learning experiences are forever. The other thing about the swap for me is that it is progress on the car when I am a brokeass student during winter ☹ Hard to explain, but I would rather be working on the car than staring at it, and labour is free. Skills learned is a big plus also, especially welding (Enrolled in a advanced welding course at Conestoga) and fabrication experience. Its not expensive like most guys say, it is just the time and effort that most people blow the idea off. Like you said, I will probably never want to do another non-paying RHD conversion job like u said, but I’m willing to do er once to know that I can 😃 ---
