Right hand drive, Whats cheaper, RHD w/3S or importing the gt4? Options

[rudeboy3d]

So lets say money is an object, that I personally value greatly. Let's also assume that I don't want to cut corners and would prefer send the work out......


A right hand drive Celica makes me wet... And a nice blow off is orgasmic...

Would it be cheaper to get a Celi with a good body and then get a 205 half cut *if I could find one* and then have the 205 motor and RHD dealio put in

or would it be cheaper to import the King Celica (GT-4)?


Searching for prices, someone on this site said about 12 grand to import the 4... any truth to that?





As far as a motor swap and a conversion goes, theres is a guy, Jeremy Blackwell, www.speedforsale.com , who dropped in a 2JZ into an S14 and did an RHD conversion....



I am looking for the best balance of quality and price.... the bang for the buck thing... Positive and/or informative oppinions only... thanks, in advance



***EDIT*** Doesn't matter if its AWD or FWD, long as its got a turbo and I gotta shift with the left hand

I think I'd like a conversion better anyways, because AWD is fun and all, but I'm very content with a FWD.





Has anyone driven a RHD vehicle? I would think it would be hard as hell to drive, just the whole left hand shifting thing. I'm a right handed person, the way a person should be, so I think I'd struggle. It would seem weird making turns and just driving in general in the right seat on the right side of the road........



I did way too much cocaine today... sorry guys

bang bang

Hey right hand drive is the 'correct hand drive' as far as i'm consired and i'm damned if i can get on with a lift hooker even in a left hand drive road system !!!!!!!!

plus that how the celica and all Jap' cars where designed to be driven so your going for a pure breed )

yes mate right hand drive make very little difference in the long run, after a week you'll not evern notice the difference ( my wife went from a left hand drive to right hand drive and was cool in just 2 days!!!)
