it would be easier and cheaper to buy a original rhd car, wouldnt it?
if you want one i can get you one.. with papers, and legal registration...

Just so you RHD Rx-7's don't have as much room for a turbo. So if you want to go turbo don't plan on getting ahuge one...

man alot of people dont think it can be done? i did it on my 1986 fc rx-7 and i didnt cut any wires!! i bought a front clip of a jdm rx-7 turbo b/c my engine was blown.. and the dash was the same and i got to thinking about it and it had lower miles on everything! and i didnt need my car for a while. so here is a short version of how to do it... the main differences are that the computer is on the other side 2 not just the drivers seat. so you can either buy 2 cut harness ends and make extentions out of them like i did or you can do what i didnt think about when i did the above and take the rear harness out of the car and turn it around! it should work?! and i cut out the firewall and weilded the front clips firewall in and you also have to change the rack and pinion... that just what i did and it worked good for me. if you want the longer verison and pics or something let me know

Way to bring a thread back from the dead. Next time, check the date stamps on the threads.
