The Transformation has begun... 2nd gen of SS-four under construction, Sneaky update after years: 4th of January 2011 Options

[malpaso]

After all and under all circumstances I have made final decision what happen with my celis. I can not afford two of them but both has many advantages (one design and second power and traction). So I have only chance... two became one. The best from each will be taken. I hope in two months will be everything finished so stay tuned...

The plan:
- to separate all "fancy" parts from ST-T (done!)
- collect all parts for transformation and get GT-four ready (done!)
- pass LHD conversion with GT-four (I know it hurts... but this is only way how to register car in CZ) (done!)
- finish paint job... (done!)
- tune new baby a bit (in progress)

Major work will do no one else but Romas him self . The best of the best for something like this... here I have few pics to share:

August, 30th:
Collection of parts for conversion has started... (complete LHD dash)






September, 2nd:
Conversion date fixed, list of parts closed, conditions set... I'm full of optimism . Everything is perfect . Fingers crossed...

To be continued...

re... of course there are moved (license plate frame is good and visible example . What I must say (I know it's crazy) LHD gives me less fun than RHD. After about 5000miles with RHD my left hand wants to shift (so I hit many times doors now ), I'm using wiper instead turn signals and... already twice hit a curb with wheel (because car is on wrong side again )). If Chris reads this he must smile because first thing I did driving RHD was hitting curb with passanger's side front wheel . So yes it's weird driving LHD car again and I feel less unique

here I have more pics from "JDM heaven"











and my next year submission for calendar picture lol

yep, then just after that it was the end of the first road when you turned out onto the wrong side.
Me: "Ummm Martin other side"
Martin: "What"
Me: "You need to be on the other side of the road"
Martin: "Ahh yes..." *swerve* "this is going to take a bit of getting used to!"

You soon got the hang of it though mate, so I'm certain that you'll soon be comfortable with the LHD again.

It looks fantastic anyway Martin, you must be really pleased! I'm very jelous that you have such a good place to spray the car. It looks perfectly colour matched with the old parts. I really want a respray now!
