What a pain in the ass it must be to drive a RHD car in the US.

Congrats!

Nice!

Did you import it under the 25-year exemption?

Oh man that's awesome, I'm jealous! And glad there's just one more of them in the states now :)

RHD on Westcoast
 
Welcome to the brotherhood.


Any issues for emissions in California?

What's up man! Stationed in the UK and looking to bring back my RX7 to Cali as well. Did you have any issues with emissions or registering the car at DMV?

Picture attached for attention.

yes I did. she is 25 years and 3 months old this month. it was pretty easy. i'll register it in Oregon DMV was cool about it when I spoke with them on the phone. insurance was easy too progressive wasn't too much.

nice FD , i wanted to do the same when i was stationed in S Korea but i end buying one in WA after the korea assignment.

What's up man! Just following up to see if you were able to get your FD registered in Cali?

I still have my FD but undecided if I want to go through the hassle of bring it back...

MadRotors 11-10-17 11:46 AM

You might be surprised how easily you get used to it....I have zero issues here in Canada. I find the RHD stigma peculiar.

I imagine if you frequent parking lots and drive through's it would be a chore, and insurance can be a pain. But otherwise in my opinion LHD, RHD wheel in the centre.....no big deal.....!
