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.

I was looking at the stickies and the one guy that did the 3sgte swap said it cost him a little below 5000 and he did the swap himself. there is a shop that will source the engine for me and do the swap and everything for 6500 but I kind of want to do it myself.
So MikeE if you could let me in on some info, I would love to do the swap for well under 5,000 if that is what you were implying by 5,000 being a lot. |

That's how much a whole ST205 front clip would cost you. Maybe he bought the front clip--which I hear is the better route to go cause everyting is all hooked up, all you have to do is bolt it all up together and do minor modifications i believe, I believe defgeph made a thread about him installing the front clip. |
