Interior Swap? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #11667 23 posts Started by Mousetrashdiver
Is it posible to take a US version of the GT and swap the interior out for an over seas verion (so the driver is on the right side of the car).

yeah someone, at one point was selling everythig you need to do the swap... but yeah, you would need a good amount of stuff though, like your going to have to relocate your sterring colum an pedels an all that good stuff, dosnt dseem woth it to me.
Yeah...but you dont really see alot of cars with the driver on the right side where i live so... it would be different
why would u want too...so that its "more JDM."

I couldnt imagine shifting with my left hand, just, cant, comprehend it.

you can import cars how would they know that you didnt do that...
This is why people swap VIN #'s.

its not illegal to have a rhd car, look at the postal delivery trucks. but why you would want to go through all the effort to do a conversion, or even consider it for that matter is beyond me.
Probably be cheaper to import from the UK.
I think the swap is easly done for prob around 1k. Its not Illegal to have a RHD drive car and there is no special registering. Gotta get a VIN number from the DMV and its just like any other car. Only thing your gonna have to worry about is Insurence. My Team has 3 RHD cars and the insurence is way to much. GTR R34 Skylines , and a Teggy. The Insurence is well over 1k a month for the sky's and the Teggy is about 500$ or so.
DTE

I am a thief.do not buy anything from me.
i actually reseached this and called and asked sum1 who imports stuff a while ago. all the cars that were crash tested were tested US style...thats y there all illegal, EXECPT the skyline its the only import car to be crash tested in the euro style therefore its legal...with the exception of govt vehicles(mail)
Well i know you can import a GT-4 in to the US so why would you not beable to change out the interior doesnt make much sence to me if you can do one but not the other.

You can import any car to the U.S. but that doesn't mean you can register it or legally drive it. There aren't that many GT-4's imported to the U.S. and there is that exception of the the red GT4 on ebay, but that dude won't tell you how he got the GT-4 Registered.
Just import a GT-4 and get the performance along with the RHD.
