Question SR swap and conversion

Isn't it possible to just do the Sil-eighty conversion at the same as the engine swap? Also maybe going RHD along wit the swap??? I'm a new member so please don't flame..

RHD doesnt mean nice car.

180 face is sexy.

Use that money towards a puppy or Xbox 360 or books about suspension or turbos.

I think that the RHD conversion is pretty useless.

Buy my Xbox 360

I had a silvia. Nothing unique about it. Drifting RHD is SO MUCH easier for me though, kinda weird.

rhd would be nice, but a lot of work and money. but u will get a lot of double takes when you drive by. i want to do that someday to mine, but until then, lhd it is.

I don't understand how people say RHD is nice...everything would be such a hassle since everything here is made for LHD vehicles, unless of course your going to be delivering mail in your car...
