Converting Right Hand Drive to Left Hand Drive

Possible?



Been raining here in CA for weeks! Driving me nuts that I can’t work on the car. No garage. Had to find something RX7 that can be done indoors.

With time and lots of money anything can be done.... Is it worth it? No......if you have a JDM RX-7 just sell it and get the left hand drive you want ....

Might ironically take a chunk out of the value as a JDM-market car. It will most certainly be worth less at re-sale, if only because buyers will be afraid the conversion compromises the car - or might down the road in their ownership. That said, if later FBs are like SAs, all the mount points and read-to-drill-out holes (eg thru firewall), etc were all on the body shells for either L/RHD.
Turbo/injected harness would need to stay, which would make re-configuring the dash wiring over the other side of the car...challenging. But doable.
Good luck!!
Cool car either way...

Man, I thought I could do it with a craft knife and some plastic glue! 😉
