petros_rx7

well you are going to need the all the steering parts...like steering column, rack and basically just a whole lhd front end...your best bet is to get a front clip from the US and just use all the parts from the US car to make it LHD

Are you sure that new rx7 can be convert to lhd?

Because in my country mazda dealer said to me that the new rx7 didnt have in the left site hole so the shaft of wheel can be go out and for this reason you must cut the chassis and mazda can not give you warranty for this job.
Is it true or they dodnt have any idea about new rx7?
Finaly can you suggest me a site to buy this products?
so I convert my new rx7

yeah, it's going to be difficult to convert it, the holes are not there in the firewall

You need:
LHD exhaust components (steering gets in the way)
Dash
Door panels
Power steering assy.
etc. etc.
Oh, and as mentioned above, none of these were made after 1995 in LHD, so if there were ANY changes to the car after that (and there were), the 93 to 95 parts you buy will have to be "fitted" to the newer model.

By the time you finish paying for all that you could buy a nice RX-8, or import a used 93-95 from the US and completely rebuild it.

yep, you would need to change the firewall, its not hard as it seems but does take time. just did one for a 240

It is not worth the hassle
Get yourself a decent car here in Greece

If my country have rx7 in a good condition I buy one but in Greece there are only 19 rx7 for sale and in very high price up to 23000$ and the condition of this cars is not good pour compresion bad interior etc.
The good rx7 in my country are not for sale the people who have it didnt sale it.
For this reason I think to import new rx7 from cyprus or uk who will cost me 14000-18000$ + the convertion and tax who I must pay to my country also I think to import frok us but the shiping cost is to high and the tax to my country
Finaly the new rx7 have problem with temperature?

I live in Athens
I looked for a good one for 3 years
If you look you will find !
I guarantee you, any other way you will end up paying much more !
No smart lway around it (that is legal)...if you can't be patient, get an S2000 and live with it
