Damn, this is a bad ass project car...Has really got me motivated to hurry up and finish my RHD Prelude now

The thing that really sucks about it is locating parts if I find something going bad. I have a leaking clutch booster and looked all over for it. Luckily I found one new in Canada. They only had one in stock. I found it also in Japan (of course) but it takes so damn long to get parts from Japan and Autralia (another country full of parts). I think it's still five days out. I am never doing this kind of project again lol.

you know you would do the whole project all over again, but with better planning next time around. The first time doing big projects like this, you'll usually run into problems, but it's all just a learning process.

I plan on doing another RHD conversion, and of course next time I do it, hopefully it won't take me as long to get everything done from start to finish. I'll have a bit better planning and will of course know where everything goes

Right now I have one or two shims that are loose and althought the parts aren't very expensive, it comes from Canada or Japan. There are 70 shims for the GTR and the issue is I will have to open the up the head and find which is needed then order the part. It will take at least a week which means leaving the car at the shop for a week. If there were less parts I would just order it first and then open the head to get it done in one or two days sigh.....

Woot another part going on. Finally found some coilovers at a good price

.

Installing it now. And some rims were ordered from Japan but I think that will take about a month to arrive.
