Right Hand Drive Conversion

I have a US spec lancer and want to make it right hand drive. I have e-mailed several companies in the UK but have not had any luck. Perhaps someone in the UK could help me aquire parts or put me in touch with someone oversea's?

You will need your head examined. Why even bother doing a conversion?

n00bs.

That conversion will run you a ton of money and will render your car illegal. Only RHD cars allowed are imported cars that were MADE RHD and are legally imported.

I drove a few legal RHD cars down here in so. cali (I dont own any of them). A Skyline R34, a Skyline R33, a JDM 180sx, and a JDM Toyota Trueno. RHD is fun to drive and messes with people's heads on the street.

it would probably be easier and cheaper to just import a RHD car

The Evo is a Japanese supercar- I was going to try to get a skyline from motorex and test drove an evo and picked it up. The RHD adds exclusiveness to it. Where are you reading that right hand drive cars are illegal? I live in MD and have checked with DMV and State inspection offices-- Nothing is stated anywhere about RHD. I am actually in contact with a company trying to get a front clip...

Man, if you have the time and resources to do an RHD conversion, might as well just add in the SAYC and ACD instead... I bet pricing would be comparable.
