first its DROVE not DRIVED!!! Sorry I hate that. And second the LHD drive gt-4's are in europe. That's the only place (maybe down under) that you will find them.

[Jeremy1210]

so if they are LHD, could we import one from europe???

[celicakid84]

well actually its not all of Europe that has LHD, cuz the UK has RHD. You can find them in like Italy, France, Sweden etc. Australia would have RHD.

[Guest_Matthew_*]

what if somebody bought a celica in france then moved to the uk? then you would find a lhd celica there. hehehe

[Coomer]

I think that in Germany and in Denmark they're LHD. My friend's girlfriend is an exchange student from Germany and she said that they drive on the same side of the road as we do.

seems like a complete list. props on a good post.

[Jeremy1210]

so could we just import one??

[zigy]

Well Legaly without any hassles no....

But what my friend did, he imported '95 Honda Del Sol SiR from Poland (which came from Germany)

to Toronto (Canada). Changed the vin number of totaled '95 Del Sol, but when he came back to

Chicago, the vin number was showing as '95 Honda Civic. It didn't matter though. DMV didn't notice

the car difference, and when cops pulled him over they didn't notice. Passed emissions without any

problem.And that car now is one fast Honda...


So as long as you get a European car and ship it over Canada no problem.

With Japanese cars you are going to have lots of problems, first of all, its kind of hard not to notice

LHD, and second of all passing emissions is a bitch... (crazy ass Octane 98 in Japan)

[doGGy]

So if you want GT4 buy one in germany:

It will cost you only 14000$ for 95 GT4

[hiflytsi]

i'd like to point out that swapping VINs like that is a federal offense. not discouraging anyone, i doubt they'd care, unless you kill someone in an accident, but i just wanted to make everyone aware.

also, yes, the cars from japan and europe will pass the electronic smog test, but a visual inspection (not visual like seeing what comes out the exhaust, but visual as in examining the exhaust system) will show there is no EGR on the car. you can add it, in some states it just doesn't matter, like FL... but again, just want everyone to be aware.
