PoorManzImpreza Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 ok guys and gals, I have a spare RHD L-series (ea82) n/a crossmember and a LHD Turbo L-series crossmember. Now Since I live in RHD country I was wondering if yall think I should scallop a chunk out of the spare n/a xmember or try to convert the LHD xmember to RHD and go for the stock look? For the LHD xmember it seems I'd need to cut out one of the steering rack mounts and move it towards the center a couple inches then cut out the big hole for the pinion shaft..this in essence would make it like an ej xmember which is universal lhd and rhd although not ej body compatible For the n/a xmember just cut out a space for the cross-over/uppipe to pass and weld in a pipe section and I'm done but won't look factory.. What do yall think? Kaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daeron Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 WoW that just confused the hell out of me. Rob:-\ He needs a crossmember cut out for the turbo piping, that has accommodation for the steering gear on the right side of the vehicle. He has a turbo X member that would need to be altered to look SOMEwhat stock, to relocate the steering gear to the Right side, or he could alter the RHD X member to accommodate the turbo. I don't have an opinion, since I can't even visualize the difference (never seen a turbo car) but I thought I would digest that for our resident guru.
