Problem isn't really the motor, but the chassis itself since it's never been crash tested so no, it wouldn't be legal.

I think you were supposed to insert 3S-GTE in between "a" and "from" just to clarify. I had a hard time understanding it. --------------------  A Jaws4God Creation... |

you can do it, but there's work to be done, not much though.
Option 1: You can get the shell, put in a US 3sgte and just swap VIN #'s with your current celica. But then you're left with a US RHD celica. Option 2: The same as the above, but instead of leaving it RHD, also swap the dash and anything else required to make it LHD. Which would include the stearing colum, peddels, ect... *I might have spelled something wrong, bu i just woke up, so that's my excuse* |

OR you could just buy a eurospec LHD shell
 however you do, it wont be legal, and theres no guarantee you wont get caught and get your car impounded indefinatly. -------------------- Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them all No but I don't buy it Like anything you do, as anyone you are Cause I'm... Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial |

Exactly. You have to understand the risk of doing this and getting caught. But it would still be hard to get caught, cause you will be swapping every VIN #. You can get away with it. Personally, If i had the money to buy a GT4 like that, I would. |
