Within a few years, my scooby will be for sale and then I will go for the real stuff. I was thinking of importing a P1 or Type R into Belgium and convert it into LHD.
Are there guy's who already done this because else of the steering and lights there will be lot's of things to convert I think...

Look out for ex Prodrive recce cars which were based on STI's but converted to LHD.I have seen a few 2 door V5's going for about £20,000.You could then use these for a serious project,as they have roll cages fitted and are strenghened.
Failing that there is a Czech guy converting to LHD,so it could be worth seeing whats involved.

i know someone who specialises in converting left to right but he mainly does german cars, but its all the same. i think

 

Only problem so far, is the brake fluid resevoir interferes with the intercooler, and the power steeting hoses need to be re-routed, as the up-pipe is in the way, and some of the wiring harness needs a good stretch...

 

I was also considering a second way : Keep my European Turbo (LHD) and try to buy a trashed RHD and then keep all the parts that I needed to my car (engine, diffs, gearbox...)
Of course it must be a special model like an RA, STI or something like that because I already have an Impreza Turbo MY 2000....

 

Why dont you just build an engine for your LHD car?

 

the 2.5 rs driveline sucks... no doublt about it....

 

Here is an update to our STI IV conververion

I did it half year ago. STi 3 wagon to LHD

 

It is the same problems. Sti has different wiring loom and different senzors, some pins in ecu are changed etc.... :-)

For me is better to convert RHD to LHD than run STi engine on UK turbo wiring :-)

 

Conversion cost me about 7.000 Euro
