i know i know... i'm sure you guys know what i'm thinking of trying to do already but i'm new at this and just thought i'd ask. just trying to learn more about celicas that's all.
i'm sure converting a RHD to a LHD is possible, it's just i wonder if its hard to do or if it'll cost a bunch of green paper that non of us really has to spend! is it? anyone knows how the steering works and anything about this subject? thanks. top_projects05 -------------------- my long awaited celica,

oh its pretty simple actually
you just move the dash, then the steering box, reposition the column, move and drill for the clutch plate along with accelerator and brake pedals, redo all the wiring, get a donor car for all the cosmetics, somehow figure out the japanese airbag system so its USDM standard, get new seats, and dont forgot about the throttle and brake cables. Oh the shifter assembly too because of the slight driver tilt. OH ... and the list keeps growing  I'm not jumping at you as it may seem, but this has come up so many times. Please use search in the future. Answer time - No its not illegal to have a RHD car. Many mailman cars are RHD and so are Skylines. Is it smart.... no. Why. You'd have to teach yourself how to drive all over again. Its it worth it... no. You'd spend more money then the car is worth. Am i done - yes.  -Ti This post has been edited by turboinduction: Jan 27, 2005 - 5:28 PM |
