    I don't think it would be a great idea. You would have to train yourself to drive all over again. Plus you have to shift gears with your left hand(you have a manual right?), which I wouldn't be able to do.

    How would you do all the rack and pinion work to get it to the right side?

    If its something you really want to do, I totally respect it. I think its really cool when I see a right hand skyline or mini cooper, etc. But something I would never give a thought. It would be JDM yo, FTW

    I would respect you if you swiched your car to right hand drive. Im love it when people can put the work sweat and tears into their car and actually say thay THEY put their own time into their car to make it their own and custom. Kinda why i did a rolla conversion on the prizm :)

    That's my plan for the future I did almost all the work on my car the only two things I didn't do was the body kit and the turbo set up. Interior, brake, motor build, everything else my own to hands same with my wife's car, nova and 240 . I love to mess with my cars, I take more pride in it.

    I don't get the whole RHD thing. If you live somewhere where you drive on the LHD then keep it that way. People get wayyyyyy to JDM thinking oh man let me do a RHD conversion. I think it ruins the car not to mention the rigidness of the frame. Form follows function. Just my .02.

    There's no point to convert it RHD. It makes it harder to drive since we drive on the right hand side. Unless you deliver mail, there's no point. LOL :D

    Converting to RHD is a lame idea IMHO. If you want a RHD car, get an original from overseas and import it. Otherwise, its just poser.

    I think it's a waste of money to make a USDM car left hadn drive, but if you want to do it, do it. Ultimately, it's your money.

    Pedro, I recommend forgetting the RHD idea and going with some custom exterior mods. You already got a headstart with the trunk. Unlike your motor and interior, the exterior could be replicated fairly easily. I say look into a custom widebody or a custom body kit and a new paint job, although the current color is very nice. Just a suggestion.:cool:
