Default RHD.....

i was thinking today... it really wouldnt be hard at all to convert a car to rhd... you would need the JDM dash.. a JDM manual steering rack (it would be easier and cheaper to use a manual one rather than have new hardlines for the p/s redone) a JDM harness for inside the car... and a JDM throttler cable.. i was looking at teh fire wall in my del sol the other day and noticed that there was a plate bolted in place of where the steering column would go through... as well as holes for the throttle and stuff.. what else would be needed to do this that i have not thought of??

Hell, it sounds cheaper to just import on over here. I'm sure there is more work than what you think. What would you gain out of it?

My buddy just went to Atlanta this past Monday and picked up a JDM EG6 with RHD. The thing is sweet. Now I have a true platform to build my JDM hatch. I like JDM, but I don't thin I'd go as far as swapping the dash for another. Just my .02.

Not that im disagreeing, but why would you want to? It'll just make driving harder and more dangerous, you wont be able to see jack **** when trying to overtake for example.

You would almost have to relearn how to drive. The time it takes you to write with your other hand is about the time for you to get your driving skills back.

Its easier to shift RHD than it is LHD. Well in anycase no. Its better if you get the whole entire front clip or else you will be cutting and welding the under dash skeleton to fit the RHD dash and also you will also have fun relocating and drilling multiple holes to fit alot of the engine compartments in. Have fun tyring.

**** RHD, just give me the transtop. id much rather have that...

big waste of money for the conversion. give me a euro del sol with LHD, transtop, rear fog light, one piece headlights, and euro aux lights...theres a keeper.
