Just wanted to be different from the other cars here everyone here is LHD but just want to be authentic
 
Pretty impressive build, mind if i ask how much that carbon piece was from memoryfab? I don't want to call them just for that lol.
 
very impressive! car looks mint! did you just import a bare shell from japan?

bcuz im a little confused!

do you mind me asking what the whoel conversions cost you?
 
Think they`re fuel pump cut off switches and something else. Used when racing and in the event of an accident the fuel pump can be manually turned off to stop fuel being pushed through which could cause a big bang if the accident was bad enough or there was a fire or something.
 
Nice project!!!

Yea no problem, those two plugs coming out of the tail light is a battery post terminal. Since i tucked all my wires and my battery, since im running 4 door handles (no key hole) i have keyless entry system. Due to the case if the battery die's on me i can recharge my battery by just jumping those two plus with out popping my hood. I do have a emergency kill switch is located in the car. The whole motor conversion??? I really dont know a buddy of mines just told me to dive in it and not to worry about the price. So i did.
 
What a amazing project really, congratulations! your build is my "dream" build.

Do you have any videos?
