Is it possible, some have told me yes some say no... I wana know!!

 

Why?

 

Are you asking about transforming a right hand to left hand drive?

Yes, it is.

Just for reference anything is possible. Provided you have the proper amount of money.

 

But why?

 

CuZ iMmA icY hOt sTuNna ( wha wha wha )

 

that would be kinda coo, but i was shifting my friends car for him while he was eating, and shifting with the left hand isnt too cool

 

Am I the only one that sounded very wrong to?

 

Nope sounds very ummm yeah. I would have to agree with you why would you want to do a LHD to RHD conversion? Seems like a waste of money that could be WAY better spent elsewhere.

 

Not to mention the $10,000+ it would cost to convert a JDM car to US DOT standards.

 

Left hand shifting has me wondering too, but what about all the lefties who drive 5sp.

Still waste of money IMO, just import a JDM car like that teg from that MTV show.

 

I want to do a left foot gas pedal conversion. Has anyone done this? How hard was it? Did you use the pedal assembly from a '77 Charger? I'm not looking to spend any more than 5 or 6 grand.

 

What about a right side automatic shifter button conversion? I've been quoted for $2400 for that one.

 

What about the Ferrari paddle shifters on the steering wheel?

 

NO WAY DUDE!!!!

I did the right hand automatic shifter button convesion myself. But let me clarify: you will have to change your motor over to conventional crank rotation. And you will no longer be able to use both your reverse lights at the same time.

Here's what you need:

Some KY
A nice sized broomstick
A well reamed sphincter

That way when you do the conversion you can be completely gay about it!!!

edit: ok, yes, this is a little over board. but fun as hell.

LOL...

 

Don't listen to these guys!!!

After seeing the MTV street racer special, I decided to make my all my cars right handed because that is a true JDM statement. Do it!! It will take a lot of efort but once you are done you can always put it on ebay and make millions!!!!!

 

omg... MTV did a street racer special?

I'm gonna see if its on Kazaa somewhere....

 

Yes it's called "True life, I'm a streetracer" and they also did a Flipped episode where they set a girl up and got her arrested for street racing. It was funny cause you know when racing 2 17 second civics you get such a rush.

 

you're kidding right?
