Actually, all the holes are there in the firewall.

Getting a front-cut is probably your best option.
Everything is there (dashboard, steering wheel + column, foot pedals, crossover harness, engine harness, etc.), and it's a matter of putting in the labor to swap everything over.

One of the most famous 20B FC's (Chito Solomon's) is a RHD conversion.

It's not that bad of a conversion, but it's a lot of time and effort.

If you do it, it might be a little easier to heel--toe while racing or drifting... I assume... B/c on my LHD rx7 I had to buy an angle kit and a smaller steering wheel to have the clearance... but my knee still hits occasionally.... anyway, the kit and the wheel are way cheaper than what I would assume the RHD conversion would cost so nevermind... I dont see the point of doing it, unless you have alot of money w/ nothing to spend it on...

please do research. you sound like every other teenager that comes onto this forum and thinks they can just throw a 20b in their car. If you cant even set up your own turbo kit, doing a 20b conversion will be impossible. I'm assuming this is your first rotary car (and probably the first car your going to heavily modify), so just take your time and do easy T2 mods that everyone else has done, maybe do a rebuild and a streetport. After you get used to working on it and familiar with the car, consider other things.

I agree. You have a car and a job. You don't have the budget and the support that a Formula 1 team has. If you aren't a mechanical engineer, don't try to reinvent the wheel or you'll end up getting in over your head. Don't go and try to start breaking land speed records. You gotta crawl before you can walk son. Its all good though, I remember when I first got my license and I got a Trans Am. I thought I was the fastest **** on wheels and I was going to Mod it so it could pull wheel stands off the line. Then I learned some things. Speed cost money and everyone has a limit on how fast they can afford to go. Then you have to choose only 2 of the following 3: Fast, Cheap, Reliable.
