I, like phoenix, dont see the point.

Buy a JDM car, take out your newly built engine, and swap it with your JDM one.

So much easier.

My 2 cents.

You CA/AUS people don't get it lol. FC's are still illegal for importation to the states. You cannot import an entire car for street use, only a front clip. The OP's location says "Aurora" which to me means Illinois (ex lives in Aurora lol), so that's a no-no.

actually, its Aurora, CO- thanks, maybe you guys didnt read- I lived in japan for the first 24 years of my life, and got my license on the right side of the car, I have done the conversion on a MK3 supra with a 1jz-GTTE jdm swap. I have the front clip, I pulled off the dash and such, the firewall looks fairly symetrical as well, mounting points are fairly symetrical- it looks to be as simple as moving everything from my clip over- It is all taste, and not a waste of money considering that I got he clip for free, and its complete ( minus the engine/tranny) in the supra, we cut out a 2'/2' square and measured over from the wall and welded it on. fit up with very little massaging, I am just asking for links or advice on the swap and not how to NOT do it!

Where did you pull these assumptions from?
From what I can tell, most of the cars in this forum have had suspension mods done and no one runs a stock exhaust (and if they are, by this time it's probably so full of holes that it's louder than aftermarket anyway).

"MOST LIKELY SPEEDING" is just fantasy on your part...nothing in the OPs comments suggest this to be true.

Clearly Phoenix7, you have never driven a RHD car.
I've owned several (albeit British, but RHD is RHD) and never found it to be a problem except at drive thru windows.
Cops could care less- and why should they, as long as you're not blocking the entrance to Dunkin Donuts (/gratuitous cop joke) or mowing down pedestrians, the side you sit on is irrelevant.

@exiletalon...I live in Denver and if you need any help I'd be happy to oblige anyway I can.
