To do it the way i would want to do it its more work than its worth. If the wiper motor works on the original side whats the point in moving it. If it was me I would have been happy with lhd i dont not understand the whole rhd thing. But to each there own.

But if you don't do it, you're going to run into the issue of the wiper not clearing enough of the windshield on the right side of the car (about 3/4's of it), which could cause a visibility issue (and it might not pass inspection because of that). That's my whole point about doing it. Even if it's not exactly how you want to do it, it would at least be done almost properly. |

The funny thing is, in the US and in Europe everyone wants to have JDM style in there car, but here, 90% of cars onroad are Japanese used imports, so our cars started off JDM and alot of us want the European styling instead lol.... And ofcourse, the classic muscle cars here, having the steering wheel on the Left is a cool thing here lol

Look amazing!
 Is your rear end too far forward? I only ask because I know Malek's is a true GT4 and it doesn't seem like the wheels are as off center.

Yupp, i saw the same issue on a car that was converted. Wheel is not centered in the wheel well. I thought because i ised the floor that it would remedy that problem. Makes me think the shock tower is a little farther back in the st205. I plan on discussing this with Nick and see what he wants to do about it. I may be able to solve the issue by extending the north south arms that center the wheel.
