Yeah, I got it from GSpeed in Cali but they closed down awhile back.

I used to have another SC300. I was planning to convert it to RHD but decided to just put a 1jz swap. One day that SC got totaled. Since I still have the RHD stuff laying around, I went ahead and decided to go for it.




Here is the thread when I did the swap on my old sc300.

Seriously, pretty cool though, OP. have you run into any of the RHD annoyances yet? My favorite is passing school buses on the way to work in the morning.

I went to a parking garage at school and just to get the ticket to lift the gate, I had to get out of the car. When I was leaving the parking garage, I also had to get out of the car just to pay the clerk. I loved the confused face of the clerk tho lol.
