^ Nissan skyline. Shot in the dark, based on the fact that it's a popular RHD car imported into the US, and the clock looks cheap like it could be something out of a nissan.

Wrong. This is the only one that I know of that has been imported into the United States.

JDM MADTYTE RHD EVO.

Evo 7. Has some huge cam in it so it idles a little bit lumpy. And yes it's rhd. My friend lost use of his right arm in a motorcycle accident and then couldn't drive his Evo 10 so he sold that and bought this rhd Evo 7 so he can drive manual.

Sorry to heat that about your friend. My cousin's right hand got banged up in a motorcycle accident. Holding handlebar + truck door @ 45mph = smashed. His is pretty much healed now.

There are a few in the states. A company tried to legalize them, then Mitsu said they were bringing the VIII over. :lol:

If you don't mind me asking how was it imported/registered? Is it a "Flordia" car?

Here is a link to the car a few years back before my buddy got it... looks like technically it's an Arizona Car.

And what I did to my car... installed my fiberglass sub box and tested it out. I still have to order the cloth to wrap it but until then I can still listen to it!

Yesterday installed rebuilt driveshaft, with grade 12 hardware w/Loctite Red. Then reworked adjustable swaybar endlink hardware. Gave it a wash and took it for a spin with my foot to the floor, not having to worry about losing traction!

Today FINALLY work on the rear endlinks.

Neubar, did you use threaded rods or tube for your end links? MWC doesn't stock the length I need :(

I have the 3/8"-24 aluminum hex tube. I when with 11" and it worked out so much better then the standard length IPD HD. I guess you need more than 12" with your drop? What size are you doing? I thought about doing larger like 7/16" but you really don't have too. I also could have gone to 12" long hex tube but I can just extended them out a bit. I also ordered the boots which were a PITA to get on and my fingers were so sore after doing 6 of them for front and rear links.

If you need help with parts or getting them together let me know. Come over and bring some beer... ;)

I'm trying to be cheap and use the D2 tie rod ends and just replace the tube, so M10, yup more than doubling the length of the d2's ordered 200mm (8") and 300mm (12") rods, so we will see.
