I think (not 100%) sure that the utes over here came out with 2 mirrors. I know mine did - I haven't got a spare one but surely someone on here has, shouldn't be a problem at all as all our cars have at least a RHS mirror.

Yep Dattodude is right the CA18DET conversion has been flogged like a dead horse, please use the search bar - there would hardly be a question that hasn't been answered.

My original plans were for this conversion, the budget was there, it was planned, everything was ready to go and the only thing that stopped me was the fact that I had to deal interstate which involved freighting a half cut(very Expensive)
but the main factor was that not one of all these so called reputable companies who sell them gave 2 ####s about something called "Customer Service"
Dreams and Goals are 2 separate things. Be realistic about what you want and how much you want it.
Thats why I'll stick with the trusty ol A15 for the time being.
Remember to that a budget is exactly that you will ALWAYS spend more than you prepared to because things just pop up
but you get that..........

Welcome to the club Animal

Sounds like you are taking the sensible approach with a good simple plan and not going into the whole " bigger is better " category - MUCH RESPECT

Yeah that sounds like a good basis for a good strong little motor. There is PLENTY of info here on the site that you will find invaluable just use the search box on the left as this topic has been discussed heaps so you'll get some good ideas

Just work out your budget, what the cars purpose will be, driveabilty and how much work you can carry out yourself but above all.........
HAVE FUN

Unfamilia - What is this install into is it a ute?

Just thought I'd mention that in some states a larger engine swap can be easier in a ute because it can come under a "Commercial Application" therefore having slightly different and usually slightly better rules regarding a larger engine displacement.

Just a thought

Sunny - Yeah the ones I got sound the same, the loom connectors were different. I didn't even bother changing the connectors over because as I mentioned the actual tail light assy's were that bad they weren't worth using.
I only used the lenses which weren't to bad (time will tell) and the chromed surrounds (very ordinary) they look good in the pics but they are crap!! Did I mention they are crap?

Kegs - I'm not sure what you'll get going off the price it sounds like you are getting decent ones. If I had payed that price for the ones I got then I would have sent them straight back
Hopefully yours will be ok

I think $110 is not too bad if they are good ones.
A word of warning about the cheaper $28 ones if they are the same as the ones I got.

Check out this post I posted while ago

My opinion is that it is ENIRELY up to Dodgeman what information he decides to disclose if he should decide to do so.

I should also mention that so is providing this information on the internet for free (If he were to scan the entire manual).
I don't see the need for you to be singling out Dodgeman as he has given MORE than his share of knowledge to other members over the time I have been on here (Thanks Dodge )
If I was Dodgeman I'd be selectively handing out the info in posts if and when relevant to the information he has.
PizPump - DON'T have a go at people who have provided a great deal of knowledge to the site as there are many people on the site who TAKE TAKE TAKE but no GIVE. Why should they sit back and benefit from one mans purchase of knowledge?
PizPump - Compelled? Compelled?
Mate I'm compelled to do what I please and when I please and so is everyone else.
PS - hey Dodgeman, they won't learn - you can't have too many manuals
