Ive never drove a RHD car.. let alone on boost.. and I dont see too many people with a Boosted RHD car so I wanted to see if some1 could answer a couple questions. I've read the pros/cons about the RHD swap so no need to repeat, but seeing how its a little more difficult makin left turns, All in all..

Would it be very hard to get use to driving a (lets say) 300+whp rhd car on the street?

Im not gonna say I never street race.. but only every now and then.. Will this be "adding" to the "danger" level ( even after you get somewhat comfortable )?


*Edit* Going in a straight line would make no difference if its LHD or RHD.. The questions are NOT in reference of this. Factor in minor traffic, d*ckhead drivers, and minor turns.

lol this thread is funny. Honestly i think it wouldn't be a problem

I think a 300whp honda can be dangerous to some people no matter where they are sitting.

Left or right isn't the issue..... RHD is a nag to drive for various other reasons that additional hp isn't going to worsen. Pretty funny question to ask, but guess you'd rather be safe than sorry

It's no different from LHD. Power is power. I drive my RHD car everyday, and it's no problem.

I put 7000 kilometers on it driving it every day from the end of April to the beginning of August. No problems whatsoever, just be more careful making left hand turns. Nothing really hard about it.

It's not a real problem i guess, but i really dont like being over next to the shoulder of the road, it noticeably decreases your visibility around right hand corners when you compare it to sitting closer to the middle of the road. But its really shouldn't matter once you are used to it.

Ive driven 3 R32 GTR and and 300z turbos some with 500hp and some lower. The bigest problem with the RHD **** is blind spots and missing 3rd gear .Takes a bit of time to to learn the gears.

haha, lucky for me I never owned a LHD car before I picked up my GTR. I obviously have driven some LHD performance cars, but don't have nearly as much seat time as I do in a RHD. Feels like butter to me!

yes boost and rhd is dangerous. i crash daily, some times i die. the fact that its a 4 door makes it a little more unsafe.

maxheat

Thx for the replies ppl.. I didnt think it would be much different but I just wanted some other takes on boosted Rhd cars in the LHD world.

To the asshat making an attempt to be funny.. If you been through some of the things I have you would understand that driving a LHD car with some of these ******* drivers out here can cause enough bad results, so a RHD car could be even worse.

Think before you flame..

i usually dont agree with you but on this i will because i stayed in grand bahamas island and started to learn how to drive there. for those that dont know in the GBI they drive on the left and some of the our tourist island drive on the right

to OP: it all depends on how quit you can adapt, does your state require any paperwork or endorsement to be allowed to drive a RHD car

maxheat

Im not sure, but I wouldnt think I'd need anything special. There are just a few RHD cars around my area, but i've never had the chance to ask them.

SovXietday

Yes, the extra JDM power from the RHD will make your 300whp way faster than any LHD 300whp. Beware, RHD kills!

What the **** kind of post is this anyway?

Ass$nyper

Honestly, what to lead paint chips taste like?

lol
in Russia (east area) we have a lot of RHD cars (used from Japan) and have no problems with that.
No matter where the steering wheel is, the most imortant where your head at.

jameelrose

i just dont see how boost is a factor in this... if you suck at driving then rhd isnt for you. lhd or rhd... if your gonna crash due to too much power, your gonna crash. what side of the car your sitting on is irrelivant.

LHD and RHD with lots of power RWD there all over the road right. There is no differece i find going straight. Its the merging thats the problem. Say ur in traffic and u want to pull out to the left to pass its a bit more challanging due to the fact u are on the right side. I like the R32's there fun to drive and make good power
