Im in the process of building a 94 fd that was hit in the front, and joining it with a 99 fd. anyone else seen or have a right hand drive FD registerd in the US?

 

You bought the white front end off ebay?

There is a complete RHD car for sale in the Bay Area right now. I also think there was one for sale on the east coast.

 

God I hope not, that thing was way over priced.

 

I was interested in it but I'm too deep in project cars. People are paying $1800 for 99 bumper conversions and $2K for 99+ turbos. Figure you get the trans, motor, big front brakes, 99+ fans, Efini y-pipe and all the body panels.

Not really that bad of price...

 

Front clips don't cost as much as he was selling that thing for.

 

yeah i bought that clip from ebay, but i payed way less for it ($5000)... it was pretty clean, only had 20k miles on it, came with big brakes, bilstien shocks, abs brain, nardi steeing wheel with air bag, really clean dash, entire black carpet, and even got the jdm doors, complete. its at the body shop now, i stripped the whole car and the clip, and theyre joing the two pieces. The motor is already apart, and im almost done porting it, i already have an hks exhaust, and ill make an intake for it when i start putting this thing back together

 

how strong will the car be in the fourm of structure?? also, what year will the car be registered for and it will go under a salvage title right?>??

 

the car will be as strong as a stock unmodified car, i had them drill out all the stock spot welds, so when it goes back together, it will be just like factory. it will be registerd as a 94, and it will have a salvage title, the 94 was hit in the front end, i dident want to cut up a clean fd, so i used a crashed car.

 

Pics man! Pics!

 

I have tons of pics but the files are to large, i have to shrink them

Yes it does. Quite a nice shop. Have fun with this and let us know how it goes.

 

thanks diablone, and fdnewbie for the pic site... ill let you guys know as i make progress

 

np...def keep us posted!

 

my friend has one for sale. and its legal. he wants 18 for it. 92 or 93 japanese spec.

 

Okay let me get this straight...

Trying to register a full JDM RX-7 isn't possible and illegal without the required crash test results etc.

However, welding on a JDM front clip to a domestic frame and essentially turning it into a JDM RX-7 isn't illegal and completely easy to register as the same?

Woa..

 

well,i dont know about fully legal, but who does anything fully legal...
