Has anyone ever converted the steering wheel to the left? I'm just wondering so i can do for a fun project and plus i have alot of spare time now. Any pics or web site would help thanks

 

you mean your car is right hand drive and you want it to be left hand drive?

 

Maybe he bought a RHD by mistake.

 

Lol

 

I bought my car with the steering wheel to the left. lol

 

i have it on the left side but want to make it on the right side

 

i'm sure someone has done this.......i'm prettty sure i've seen one somewhere on this site. Search for something like "Right hand conversion" or something like that, i'm sure you'll get something.

 

I think tinvestor (spelling?) did it.

 

yes it has been done before. its probably safe to say that if you have to ask, you wont be able to do it. but with enough money you could pay someone to do it for you i guess

 

ya just unbolt the steering wheel, take your dash apart(3 screws hand tight) flip dash around. then mount steering wheel/steering colum in RH side.

easy peasy....

 

what he said ^

 

I'm no expert, but I think it could be a little more complicated than that, unless you have long flexible legs to operate the pedals. Also, I wasn't the best in geometry, but if you were to flip the dash around, wouldn't it be either upside down or inside out? I'm sorry, I offer no solutions, only more questions. Oh, and while I'm thinking, aren't there other small issues, like guages that would require repositioning and rewiring? I think it would be more convenient to have the turn signal switch on the right side if you plan to shift with your left hand? Sure its something that can just be dealt with, but if your gonna do something, why not do it right, right? So purchasing a dashboard for a right hand drive rx7 would probably be easier and cheaper, rather than fabricating your own. Also, again not an expert, but wouldn't other accesories have to be moved as well, such as power steering pump, brake master cylinder, and clutch master cylinder? Then there would be the minor annoyances, like the stock anti-theft system that requires the driver side door be closed last (i think) and the trunk/hood/hatch release being moved to the other side (Dude, lean back, I need to pop the fuel door, lol) Again, I'm probably wrong about all of this, and I probably read too much into it. But it seems like it would be a very complicated process, lots of little stuff.

 

Buy a JDM front clip. Or find someone who pulled the engine and has the rest. You could probably pick it up cheap. They usually have everything you need for the swap. You will need to take the firewall out and use the JDM firewall.

 

Most of the people that try to do this, give up. There is a reason for that and a good one too.

 

Don't do it your wasting money that could be used to make the car go faster.

 

your in texas... either your car is not from america.. or somebody converted it from LFD to RHD... if im reading this correct..


the thread starter needs to clairify wether or not he drives his car from the right hand side or the left hand side... something sounds off...most people dont buy a RHD car on accident.
