If you wanted to do the conversion so bad.. and do not want to bother to import a real RHD soarer .. I would buy the whole Soarer for parts and cut in half.. use all the parts and transfer it over to a legal sc300/400 .. you can buy a soarer from canada for like 5 grand or less. You will get a motor swap,rhd parts, etc...

Lol that made me laugh...but you're right it will be a ton of rewiring work needed. So with that being said I'm not messing with it. I love my LHD anyways but RHD would get you closer to the chic in the Honda or Scion next to you at the light lol

but youd be even closer to the girl if she was IN your car.. lol lhd is better cause when you pull next to the curb and holler at the girl then she can get in the car, dont make her walk into the street to get in your car thats not nice, what if she gets git by a car? be a gentleman, keep LHD and holler at the gurls walking on the side walk and they can hop in easily..

Lol I don't holla at females out the window anyways...the girl would already be in the car. But yeh I'd keep my LHD because I'm use to it. I got in my boy's real JDM Soarer and I literally followed behind him while he was getting in the driver side lol completely threw me off sitting with no steering wheel in front of me

Drive thru's not that bad for me but im 6'5 and got long arms. The police get a great kick out of it though once they realize they pulled up on the wrong side but i had one officer almost bust my passenger side window with his flashlight while i was talking to his partner on the other side
