hi Everyone!

I bought a RHD car, this night I thinked if it was possibile and possible cheaper convert the car to LHD.

I've found a crushed FD to take the spare parts, you think it will be easy?

Thanks!

...it's simple.



Think about what you have to change only to drive it left... You have to do excessive bodywork, change many parts in the engine bay, and most of the stuff for the cockpit... there are so many things to do, i cant see any sense in it...



...we have this dicsussion often here in germany, but i prefer to say, a guy who have ***** can drive a rhd also, not to forgot the rareness of a rhd-car...





...but if you have enough money and time to waste, go on. Take a look at rx7club, a guy from netherlands has done it some months ago, but he build the car from scratch...
