I've seen it done before and it seemed like a lot of work. If you have a JDM Soarer front clip it might not be that bad. It'd be easier to just get a JDM Toyota Soarer in my opinion.

If you're up for the challenge and know how to convert everything, I say go for it. If not, get a Soarer.

Thanks guys you all have valid points & if I were to get a Soarer it would have to be a 97-00

not being a hater or anything, but i think a RHD conversion is the most useless mod of all time. Might be cool for the first week or so, but after that it's just ehhh.

Where as turboing your car, the fun never gets old

It would make filling your tank up at full service gas stations slightly easier

not worth it at all in my opinion. RHD can be a pain in the *** sometimes.

I feel you on that....especially having to park and get out instead of going through the drive-thru all the time. I was just looking for opinions and so far you guys have all hit the same view points I had as far as reasons why NOT to do it

You would have to reverse through a drive through... Eff that, save the money and turbo the car...
