The CavFire Goes RHD

03 Cav Fire · 09-14-2004, 07:53 AM

It has begun...

Before:

While on a break:

As it sits right now:

I have a long way to go, but I did this in a day... wish me luck

You moving to the UK/Bermuda/Virgin Islands? Just curious as to the reason for the switch.

Interesting "mod" though. Looks like a lot of work....

GAGTSCTGuy · 09-14-2004, 08:04 AM

like slim said, why?

AMRAAM4 · 09-14-2004, 08:11 AM

waste of time and money, makes no sense. And have fun the first month getting use to it. Hopefully some innocent soul on the road doesn't get the brunt end of your learning curve.

but let me guess...you're experienced with right-hand driving

Nikki · 09-14-2004, 08:17 AM

Its a show car, so he probably wouldn't be driving it that much...
I say congrats! And good luck with accomplishing the project...its definitely gonna be unique!!

Esco301 · 09-14-2004, 08:23 AM

About as useful as t1ts on a bull... It is gonna be different though. Good luck man.

03 Cav Fire · 09-14-2004, 08:26 AM

Why? Because I cant afford a Nissan Skyline imported... and I've always wanted a right hand drive car. Also, it's the best way to learn about your car... jump in and do something...

Waste of money? Did you break into my bank records and find out what I paid for it? Why is it that everyone assumes they know all...

If you have ever seen my car, you would know I do things I would like to do... and I do my own work...

Do you guys even change your own oil? Or do you just make fun of people who do?

grandamgt6969 · 09-14-2004, 08:33 AM

Wow, that is turning out great and I can't wait to see it. Why would he not do it. Its the only cavfire I know of that has RHD in the states. I thought people always wanted their cars to be different then other peoples cars and this is very different. Anyways good luck on this project and I hope you posted this on the org too.

BTW what you doing around here. I don't see you driving a grand am.

03 Cav Fire · 09-14-2004, 08:40 AM

We have an 03 Grand Am GT as well... New painted interior

1HOTGT · 09-14-2004, 08:41 AM

his wife (me) has a grand am. so he posts on here too. i believe there's an "other cars" forum. correct me if i'm wrong. personally, more power to him. i'm all for it. i think the car will be badass when it's done. it's not even painted yet and i consider it a cargasm. i may be a little partial considering he's my husband but i'm suppose to be

and i have noticed that a lot on people don't do their own work on their cars (and it's not just on here). that's what modding cars is all about. DIY. and if you don't want to then don't mod your car. that's my opinion.

GAGTSCTGuy · 09-14-2004, 08:46 AM

I think its a neat idea, I was just curious why you would do it, looking good though, make sure you post more pictures.

grandamgt6969 · 09-14-2004, 08:50 AM

Im not saying to post on here, its just that its weird that I meet him on here and on the org. Yeah, I think its a great idea and I would probably do it too if I had more knowledge about it.

So if you have the money to accomplish something it is not possible to be a waste of money? Did you know Donald Trump bought a yacht for a few million dollars, never used it because he's a golfer, and sold it for a loss...guess what he called it...a waste of money.

1HOTGT · 09-14-2004, 09:29 AM

why are you saying the RHD won't be used?? of course it's gonna be used. he does drive the car believe it or not!

elim · 09-14-2004, 09:46 AM

i like what he's doing...for a show car, not for everyday driving or moderate driving. not for someone who has been accustomed to driving on the left their whole life and accustomed to turning, changing lanes, etc, etc. but, it's your car, your risk to take.

btw, is doing this legal? i'm guessing it is since you're already this far into it. do you have to let your insurance people know you're doing/you've done this?

GregFarz78 · 09-14-2004, 10:34 AM

Do they even make RHD cavy's? Where did you get the dash?

Nikki · 09-14-2004, 10:36 AM

Toyota has a JDM Cavy...

04GT4me · 09-14-2004, 10:59 AM

you i know, i just joined this site, but i guess i found ******* #1...

anyway...that is a great idea man... in the show world that is gonna give u a lot of points towards winning cause anyone can put a body kit on and paint a car... (yes i know anyone could do a rhd conversion) but i really dont think a lot of people know everything thats involved

1HOTGT · 09-14-2004, 10:59 AM

YAY! for Nikki! she knows what she's talking about!

04GT4me · 09-14-2004, 11:00 AM
