Sorry buddy but the Original RS was released in its birth place Japan which is RHD over there/
I made this RHD to make it how it would come if it was imported. Which I did import it Parts that is.
a RS2 Are LHD which are vary rare.
Now you having a RS Evo5 LHD is stupid rare So why would you say something like that.
Either you have a real one are some one converted it to LHD it happens.

The original owner of my Evo 5 is a friend of mine who bought it fresh from the showroom when it was newly released. And I bought it bone stock from him with its steel rims on and only with 4000kms.
FYI, there is no such thing as an Evo 5 RS2.
The RS came out in both LHD and RHD models, 5000 units built worldwide. It had steel rims, no Recaros, no power amenities, no sound deadening, and short gearing. It is the same RS model released in Japan. Only difference is its an RS LHD.
The RS2 only came out in the CT9A or Evo 7.
Evo 7 RS = steel rims, no sound deadening, no power or comfort amenities, no audio, no aircon, only available in RHD, only available in white.
Evo 7 RS2 = 17" rims, sound deadening, no AYC, Recaro seats, available in red and white, available in LHD. The RS2 was basically a GSR model made in LHD without the AYC.
What I just dont get is why convert it to a RHD car? JDM feel? Want to make it look like its a real Evo 5?
Archiebabes here built an Evo 5 out of a Mirage too, but he kept it LHD because he is aware that Evo 5s came out in LHD models. And why turn already a LHD car to RHD when you live in a LHD country?
We in the Philippines converts RHD to LHD regardless of what car because aside from the law that RHD cars are not allowed, it posts more risks and danger because we are a LHD country.

You shoulda done it this way, by keeping it LHD.
Honestly, I would rather drive a converted to LHD original Evo 5 than an ELvolution (EL was the trim for our garden fresh Lancer) converted to RHD to make it look like an original one.

Ahaha that's Manny's car. Ouch guys! When it comes down to it, it's his car and it's a nice conversion . He can do what he wants to it! 
I'm staying LHD personally,
but there is a certain appeal for having a legit looking RHD car. Heck I even thought of doing it myself! Got all the parts here to do it, but I'm gonna sell em.
