Basically LHD it fits in a stock length roundnose, but RHD a no-no. Problem is steering box on RHD cars fouls the diff housing. :cry:


Is this a problem in a clubman doc? The yanks only build round nose cars!

I think the main problem is getting the driveshafts at somewhere near the right angle, while missing the RHD rack.
Clubbie would have more room in front of motor, though this may not help.

Has anyone heard of or seen a conversion done with the Daihatsu 1.3L EFI G200 engine..?

I have an entire car basically with engine at my fingertips with heaps of mods done already (cam, bored, stroked, extractors, exhaust blah blah) with four wheel disc brakes, air con etc but dont want to spend the money on this to find the engine doesnt fit or will cost a bomb to get a subframe created.
