yeah. the conversion is 6 grand in labor. the car is from japan thats probley 15k to 20k for the car shipped from japan ill have 9k into everything and a built sti engine. the wiring is the worst and we can do it. if you seen what we did to my camaro for wiring. we striped all the wires out and made it street legal and all runs through the stock steering colum like stock. but now thats old school no bcm, no computer ect. now where keeping this one like stock. just extending wires.

so i got the harness cut and switch over and the fuse box and ecu are un the right spot and all the wire in the middle line up also. (radio, air bah module, heat control ect, but im going to start punching the hole out in the firewall tomorrow and hopefully have the harness done in two weeks. but i got excited and wanted to see the dash in. so i just set evreything in for now

i got all the mechanical done. brake pedal, booster, abs block, clutch, gas cable, rhd firewall insulation, heater/ ac box and line, steering column, so pretty much just the electical is left and i already started on it and these are the electical connectors im using. so pretty much a plug and play. you do all the connectors and than make a harness to fit it.
