RHD -> LHD
Well if you meaning changing the rhd to a lhd it won't be easy if you check under the hood everything there is on the other side.

brake cylinder
water supplies
etc

you would have to rebuild the steering housing meaning the best way would be to have donor ae86 (trueno levin hatch coupe doesn't matter)

And switch it with that

Cars:
"99 Lexus IS200
"86 AE86 Kouki Panda Levin GT-Apex (restore project)
"84 AE86 Zenki Blue Levin (project racer)
Motorcycles:
"02 Yamaha R1
"02 Honda Hornet S
"08 BMW R1200GS

The main problem with swapping LHD to RHD or the other way round is the bulkhead as this is arranged differently. Some guys in Ireland have converted LHD to RHD and they have basically cut out the bulkhead from a RHD and welded it in the new shell

FuQ that, I'll just trade you cars... as long as yours doesn't have any rust, and you have the title. I dont care if its un-modded.. I'd trade you straight across.




(and yes, I am being serious)

Alundra it means that if you have a good japanese import car he'll trade it with an american hachi.Smile

Thing is, he rather have a good and rare japanese RHD car then a normal LHD car that doesn't have all the japanese goodiesSmile

If you can buy a RHD japanese car in good condition, teach yourself to drive RHD, its anoying at first, but not anoying enough to pass on a good carSmile

Greetz,

Bastiaan "mux213" Olij

Moved down under, no more hachi Sad

Why go through all the trouble? Adjusting to RHD takes like 5 minutes unless you are a complete idiot. Looks original too

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear

Errr... Getting used to RHD isn't difficult. Driving RHD on LHD roads is another thing... :/
