If I were to import a gt4 would it be right hand drive? Are all gt4's right hand drive. I found a website on the forums here tha specializes in importing jdm cars to the US. However I don't want to drive a right hand drive vehicle. I don't even think it's legal unless it's proven to meet safety standards which would involve crashing the car. So if I were to import one is it possible to import one that isn't right hand drive? Also has anyone ever done this? How much did it run you? What problems did you run into? Thanks.

Well it is a direct bolt for the 3sgte motor to drop in your engine bay and to your tranny.
But I gotta warn ya, its gonna be a pain in the butt for the wiring harness. But wow, 5000 for the swap? Is that including the price of the motor too, or just installation? 5g to install is a lot of money to me. But your best bet is to convert to a gt-4 celica. Sure you won't have the AWD unless your truly pour your soul then you can do the conversion but it's quite iffy but there are some member who've done it. the front conversion should cost you about 1400-2kish, and the motor depends on where you get it. If you get it from Toronto, they're cheap. 2nd gen are only 850 and 3rd gen is about 1400. |
