GT4 opinions Options

[95WRC]

hey,
guys as some you may know i have a 95 GT4 WRC .. car is on the ground in north america but in Canada and i am in process of importing to US ..

anyway i asked the alltrac .net guys this a while back but what is the 6gc.net opinion of what i should do ..

1. Leave RHD
2. convert to LHD..

i would like to point out RHD really means nothing to me and only benefit would be saving a few bucks on parts .. i know a lot of you guys will say it wil be cool, get looks and be real jdm but i wilL listen to all sides.. BTW converting to LHD will be only 1000-1500 as i do most of my own work and have buddy with body shop who will do firewall .. wrecked celica's are a dime a dozen at non-public auctions.
i have been in import scene for 15 years and have done a lot of swaps of all types so this really is a peice of cake to convert ..

LHD would have benefits of being on the correct side to drive in US and car will look like any other celica (except for TRD wing , oem 16s 3 spokes, and front end ) on the road.. i am not sure which way i am going to title but i have everyway you can think of already work out and some in place now..

This car is not like a Skyline and made only in RHD .. LHD as made for european market so if i converted it would not be like the only one every made..

Importer of my car plans to convert his 97 GT4 to LHD as in Canada you can' t title a RHD unless it is 15 years old..

One thing for RHD is it would keep it unique as you will know it is a GT4 ..but even Toyota raced a LHD GT4 in the WRC so IMHO it will be unique no matter which side of car i sit on ..

i would love to hear opinions ..PLEASE DON'T ASK ME IMPORT/TITLE ?s I ONLY WANT RHD/LHD OPINIONS..

i will add a few pictures soon ..

hey,
well i can't say how i will legalize for numerous reasons #1 being i don't have car yet .. i can say i will exhaust every avenue LEGALLY available before i decide what to do.. have friends/family working in the right places helps too.

i plan to make it go before show.. i am not impressed by what i see at the import shows and i have stopped going to them anyway since i can't stand paying 25 bucks to see a bunch if wack show cars and i feel like i am the oldest guy in the building .. i like clean looks and fuction over form so if does not affect car performance or aid driver it is not worth installing on car..

if you want to see a nice GT4 stop by Barnes and Noble and pick up newest issue of Japanese performance magazine.. it will be out in the next 2 weeks or so .. my be nice if it happened goal is to get featured in Banzai or Japanese Perf. as the UK magazines are just much better in car features and tech than all the US magazines. i think best thing about them is that honda's are 2nd level cars in UK so you don't see as many featured and since everyone is already on right hand side there is no huge JDM craze like there is here ..

my 04' plans for car are to first fix front end (minor fender bender in japan) , install TRD wing , 97 tails and projectors , 18 gold Lighweight wheels of some kind , and work on handling .. like to get some Type R red Recaros in future as well..

more than likely i will go to LHD as there is a wrecked 99 celica for parts near where my buddies body shop and i might see what kind of deal i can get on dash cut ..
