i know i know... i'm sure you guys know what i'm thinking of trying to do already but i'm new at this and just thought i'd ask. just trying to learn more about celicas that's all.
i'm sure converting a RHD to a LHD is possible, it's just i wonder if its hard to do or if it'll cost a bunch of green paper that non of us really has to spend! is it? anyone knows how the steering works and anything about this subject? thanks. top_projects05 -------------------- my long awaited celica,

sorry guys. i'm not thinking about switching a u.s. celica to drive like a jdm celica. i was thinking the other way around.... which ever that is RHD or LHD. just want to be on the safe side!
but about the comment 946thGenGT made about some place that has the test records and all that other stuff for a gt4.... who knows about that? is it even true cuz if so then i would have thought a bunch of people would have gt4's already. i also wonder why not much people plan or save money to get a gt4. is it really that hard to get one?! but yeah, thanks for the info people. like you guys say, "With enough money anything is possible." but i'll do a search. thanks again. top_projects05 -------------------- my long awaited celica,

Sounds sad I know, buts it a hopeless wish. US DOT and Customs will not allow a GT4 to be imported. In fact the only JDM-spec car to be imported is the GTR32-34 from Motorex in Cali. This company actually went through the whole testing and crashing phase and has provided the government with data. Then when the Skylines come in, they must to converted and modified to USA spec. This justifies the price. So ... it IS that hard to get a GT4 over and your best bet is just posters on the wall. If you do a search, it should come up ten-fold. This has been talked about alot and I'm sure the search will have plenty of info to go through. Back to topic.... if you somehow did import one over... I'd just leave it RHD. Again, RHD isn't illegal. I thought you were going the other way around LHD-RHD, now thats just silly  -Ti |
