as i found one for 8k, but it's LHD



whats sort of cost is envolved????

 

learn to type dude!!! stay off the 1664, its not good for you!!

 

to keep it cheap,, keep it lhd mate,,, wont notice when your on the track

 

what you mean?

 

I think you mean change mate

Is it for track or Road use ??

 

Keep it LHD and confuse the feck out the scummy car thieves


Theres nowt wrong with lhd anyway, why change it, if anything get yourself a booster cushion like Rod

 

leave it LHD!

i Heard somehtin about it supossidlt being better weight distribution! but i dont know if thats correct or not!

 

i know that makes sense,
but
as i soooooo used to rhd, if i panic'd while on track and i couldn't find gears for some reason, i'd be fooked.

lets be honest i need as much help as poss to stay away from the tyre walls

 

OI you lot, i want RHD

 

Spiky,
after a couple of hours driving it mate,, you wont even have to think where the gear stick is

 

mmm i'm not so sure

 

LHD rules the world anyway

 

you would be a propper rally driver in a LHD aswell!

as for changing it over, it quite a bit job, and costly

 

Look at Steve Scott's WRC Escort... Also left hand drive

 

oh and btw saves me the hassle next time we meet up that i need to get used to RHD

 

i'm on a slightly different budget to steve scott

 

dream on

 

got nowt to do with LHD or RHD if you convert it it will only cost more money so NARRRRRRRR!!

 

you need to change bulkheads iirc - major expense

 

hey dont worry i can keep it out of tyre walls

 

me m8 had a golf raylee lhd & he recons it was much better! took him a few hours to get used to it! lol

go to change gear & open the door!

 

finding a RHD bulkhead is the difficult bit, but im sure as marco will tell you they do come up now and again if you know where to look

 

Martin will do it for just Ł200 for you!!!!


















NOT! its a bit of a pain as I remember so he would want a fair few quid. Give him a bell. he does have the RHD bulkhead in stock I think.

I'd keep it a left hooker mate. You won't realise at all after a while!

 

im sure martin hadland was going to do it with a shell he had??

might be worth give him a bell! but personally i would just leave it lhd

 

Porkie, im too slow

 

well just as ipost this topic 2 shells have been pm'd to me and rhd, all they need to loom put in and an engine,(i can get a 4wd engine)

soo finger crossed, only thing is that i wont have bling bling gear box

 

hi m8 belive me you need a steering rack and brake block abs block and dash bord a bulkhead front flour tunnel peadel box and any thing that bolts up to the bulk head in side thecar and out side the car will cost you thoused even if you doning it your self as ford no longer make rhd bulk heads and front flor tunnel . and rhd dash board so gooood luck with the conversion if ford made all thoues parts it would of cost you as i have converted 2 my self about 3 years ago and the top part of the bulk head is Ł470 and the bottom bulck head is Ł325 and the front floor tunel is Ł170 and the dash bord is Ł500 ther no longer avalabel at ford and youve still got to by the other parts that go from left to right the money you spend it will stand you in a rhd one

 

Am I right in thinking that LHD costs alot more to insure tho.....

 

Spiky, I think I know what car it is so just want to say that car is mine mine mine mine.

 

which one????

 

Aint you talking about that former recce car?

Seriously I cant afford it but I will go that route someday, good value for money.

 

you got a link dude????? how much??

i'm tring to find the one i found at home last night, but cant find the website

it's something like, www.rallycarsforsale.net

http://www.rallyusedparts.co.uk/showcarsbydate.cfm
theres also i few for sale on there.but youve probably looked already

 

yeah seen those.

cheers though dude

just been on the phone to someone about one.

will have to wait and see the sepc

 

I converted my 3 door a couple of years ago
I wouldn't do it again though tbh
Takes longer than you might imagine

 

I have had my LHD for 4 years now with no problems even the wife drives it I would no convert it to much to do and it is worth more in LHD as you can sell it into so many European country and the rally lads canot get enough of them
