Casey's Ricer RHD Build

[whudafux]

Just adding a couple of pics and a short video of some driving.

This is one of the reasons I'm switching to RHD.

Picture my girlfriend took.

Open downpipe, 8 psi.



Going into the shop on July 2nd for 4 new tires and a new rear window. Maybe the RHD swap. It depends on if the motor is pulled from the clip and how much the guy at the body shop wants to charge me, if anything at all. It will be incredibly discounted if he does seeing as how he works for my girlfriends dad.

Well Casey one day u no 1 day lol. well next week friday i should have all my parts in damn it >.< now i must play the waiting game.

Ok, only a LITTLE bit of progress. I still need a new set of tires and a new rear window.

But I did the knock sensor rewire. My first time soldering and it came out pretty good, looked ugly, but it worked fine. The rear sensor was incredibly hard to get to. I couldn't even find the damn thing for like 10 mins. I had to look up thru the mount of that little shock thing on the drivers side of the engine. It took about an hour and a half to do. I started it up, test drove it, no more check engine light. Hurray!

The car feels a lot stronger than it did with the code 52. When I was test driving it, I decided to check why the throttle was getting stuck a little after revving the engine. I found out that the throttle bracket was getting stuck.

A little blurry but it gets stuck like that. Shouldn't the part I circled be touching each other? It doesn't close all the way by itself.

Should I just spray it with some lithium grease or somthing?

Well on the way home, I was hungry so I decided to stop and get some Taco Bell and saw this in front of me. The worlds first Cadillac xB...

Damn casey pick up ur damn phone lol.

 

[whudafux]

I left it at my girlfriends house, and thats where I'm headed to now, lol. So if I can find it, I'll give you a call. Lol, my bad.

 

[GeneStarWindGSW]

Lol, damn man you might as well not have a phone lol. Listen to the message i left you. My cell is dead so i left a number to call me at.

Small update and then there will be nothing for a while except for pictures of extra parts I'm acquiring and I will explain why after the pictures.

I have the entire body kit and wheels now. Just waiting on the set of 89+ trim to get to me from Miami.

Shineauto bumper...

Bomex sideskirts...

A little hint of what I'm planning to do, (see if you can pick it up)...

A few pictures of the wheels...

Lip on rear wheel...

Lip on front wheel...

A few last pictures of the interior...

One last picture of the body...

One last picture of the motor in the engine bay before I pull it again...

I talked to the body shop guy yesterday. He said he'll take the car once the motor is pulled and start the RHD swap for me. He said it's probably going to take a while which is why there won't be many updates. Only a couple of pictures of what I'm buying. It'll be getting painted and kitted while it is there also. I'll also be updating more if someone can pick up on what might be going on in picture 3.

I guess I'll also post some pics of the motor and trans coming out again. It's good practice lol.

Only thing left to buy is a good set of coilovers and some sway bars. Probably Tein Flexs with the EDFC and some Tanabe sway bars.

After that, I'll probably start buying new pistons, rods, etc...

Your making those covers your actual signals.

 

[whudafux]

Your making those covers your actual signals.

Lol, good idea, but you're thinking a little too hard. Still no updates really, other than I got an incredible set of 89+ tail lights from luckyguy101. They look pretty damn near to brand new. I will be sending those out to get blacked out soon along with the 4 sidemarkers.

And 2 out of the 3 gauges that I got from the MDC group buy.

 

[thejrman]

u should get your car stitch welded wile the your getting the conversion done? how is the the conversion getting done r thay swapping firewalls ?

 

[IJ.]

Casey: Fixed it for ya

 

[whudafux]

Body guy isn't sure but he's probably going to switch firewalls because of the bulge where the heater core goes. The only problem he may run into is that the firewall runs into the floor boards. Once I pull the motor and transmission its getting towed to the shop and they'll start by pulling all the brake and A/C lines out.

Thank you for fixing the thread Ian lol.

 

[thejrman]

have him do it at the fire wall i was looking at a integra that was converted to rhd and they did it were thay cut the car in half and then put a roll cage in it and at 55+ mph the body had alot of flex

 

[whudafux]

Lol I definitely wouldn't let him cut the front off. That's just common sense. I wouldn't let him do the car if he even suggested that.

 

[crazyintentions]

i'm interested in the tranny 1fastsupra

 

[GeneStarWindGSW]

Hey Casey, hit me up! i got another supra at my house & i'd like to see how the RHD build is going ^_^
