how hard would it be to convert a USDM 03 Evo8 to RHD? How hard and how much, im pretty sure the wiring MIGHT be diff, i'll need a RHD clip, and a crap load of parts from japan

 

I doubt it would be worth it. Dont know an exact amount but I bet you could find a RHD one wherever you are going a whole lot cheaper. Although if it was already converted to LHD from RHD them most of the stuff may be where you need it.

 

i'm sure dash parts and stuff , you could get from a plain jdm lancer, but is it really worth it?

 

lol...ya...i wanted to know this also... this kid that drives a focus bragged about that he can convert my car (any car infact) to RHD in couple hours with basic tools... i doubt he knows what he's talkin about

 

not worth it...
but why would you do it?

 

That kid is an absolute liar, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Just get an RHD one in the first place, it's more time and cost effective.

 

I admit, it would be kinda neat, but you'll need a whole new dash assembly, you'll have to tear the hell out of the firewall and possibly the engine bay to move the pedals. You'll also have to custom fab some way to connect the steering shaft which angles down behind the center of the dash.

Essentially, it's possible, but will require a very considerable amount of time and money, since much of the work would need to be custom fabricated.

If you can afford the cost of the work, you might as well import a car that already had RHD. Cool idea, nearly impossible in practice.

 

Who cares about RHD anyway? The rally cars are all LHD....

 

Why would you want to? Do you deliver newspapers or mail or something??

A friend of mine converted an integra to rhd with a jdm front clip. The car looks really good but I wouldn't want to be in a wreck in that car.

 

My friend did it very easily to his integra. You just need to find a RHD front clip and switch everything. Some people are so lazy they actually just weld the RHD front clip onto their car. I don't even want to know how bad that is for your chassis.

 

not worth it , buy an m3 for a rear wheel drive car

 

RIGHT HAND DRIVE... not rear wheel drive

i know a couple mr2 enthusiast who have undertaken this, which theoretically it should be easier due to the mid engine layout, but i saw some of the process and it took ALOT of work and time.

 

you got mixed up between RHD and RWD

 

It can be done because I have seen Evo 7's converted to LHD. They use the normal lancers dash which is slightly different than the OZ lancers so it look really nasty.

 

I just want to know why. If its for 100% show I could see why but if your going to be driving this car on a regular basis it will only be a pain in tha ***. Theres a guy in Belgium that had is VII converted and he wishes he never had it done. Car never drove the same.

But besides the front clip theres a lot of little things like winshield wipers, power windows ect that could be a pain.
