Posted September 29, 20186 yr Being fortunate enough to live in a part of the world where we drive on the correct (i.e., left) side of the road, this is a mod I do to all vehicles. In most cases it's trivial, but for 8880 Supercar there's a few things to consider. I'm not going to insult you all with specific instructions, just the end result modifications. First, the front fascia containing the steering wheel is a straightforward mirror flip in the car's sagittal plane, including the steering column down to the front steering rack. As you can see, the front-to-rear column has also been mirrored (along with the idler on the front rack). This requires reversing the front differential (more on this later) and flipping the bricks under the gearbox: and where it enters the rear engine bulkhead, seen below upside-down. Note the 1x1 and 2x1 Technic bricks are now on the left side of the vehicle, swapped with the 1x4 brick which now holds the 16-tooth drivechain idler. As mentioned earlier, the front differential must be flipped in order to accommodate the 16-tooth gear on the front-to-rear column. In order that the wheels turn in the correct direction, the 14-tooth bevel gear must be moved to the same side as the 16-tooth gear: So now drivers of 8880 in LHD locales should have better forward vision to overtake with confidence.

September 29, 20186 yr You’ve got your title wrong. If you drive on the left hand side of the road, like in the UK, but sit on the right side of the car you drive a Right Hand Drive car. Left Hand Drive means you sit on the left in the car to drive it.
September 29, 20186 yr Does this mod require any additional parts or all of it can be done with included bricks?

Title amended to remove all ambiguity. 13 minutes ago, zux said: Does this mod require any additional parts or all of it can be done with included bricks? I don't recall using any additional parts, maybe the odd small brick here-and-there but nothing comes immediately to mind. Edited September 29, 20186 yr by NotANumber
