If you are serious about it, start putting up, and do something about it. No more talk. If you guys want to keep spitting game, and talk about how cool it would be to have a Spirit R, than prove me wrong. Otherwise, STFU.

Serious money to you is probably not serious money to me.....so think whatever you want.....

I read this thread . And i just think you are stupid . Sorry to say that but you were asking for it . Just think why you wanna get the last production series 2002 Mazda RX 7 Spirit R ? Because it is the last series , it is a Spirit R and it is RHD . And if that is the case , why do you wanna change it ? You know how dumb that sounds ...

stranger: hey dude , that is a sweet car . it that a RX 7
you:yeah it is.it was the last production series Spirit R model but i change it from rhd to lhd .
stranger: ?? WTF ??

Starting a sentence with lower-case letters is also a "no no".

Canadian currency doesn't mean **** in any part of the world except Canada.
Just because you you talk about the money you make doesn't prove anything. I don't really give a husky **** how much you make.

I stand by my word that you WILL NOT get a 2002 Spirit R.

If you are going to correct other people on their spelling and english skills, you had better start practicing what you preach.

I think your new-guy attitude is just here to showboat. I can't think of a single person in this thread that is taking you seriously.

I cannot believe this guy says some of the things he does and actually has the ***** to "preach" to everyone about being nicer on the internet...

At least it was a nice laugh.

By the way if you can't take the attitude you get for asking about it, going ahead and actually converting a real Spirit R to LHD will probably ruin your life.

Rich AND famous, bro...









-s-

PS, if you really want to convert the car to LHD, it should be possible. You'll need the firewall, dash, steering column & rack, and quite a few other bits from a LHD car. You might also need to extend all the ECU wiring in order to relocate it to the new passenger side (right side in LHD cars). It's a lot of work, but it should be possible. I'd bet turbojeff on these forums could do it, given enough time and money.

You don't have to lie to make friends.

I am not hating. I have everything I want in life except one thing. I would love for you to at least come up with a decent argument but alas, I think that is probably asking way to much of you.

You still aren't going to get a 2002 Spirit R.

Actually, you can start a sentence with "And." That was just a BS rule in the curriculum of Elementary, Middle, etc. schooling. College will teach you that.

And by 2001, you were back to your original $20k.....seriously, no one here cares how much money you have. We're not shallow chicks you're trying to pick up at a bar. Obviously, being wealthy doesn't give you common sense or people skills.

I fail to understand why you would try to import a Spirit R and then convert it to LHD. Either import a Spirit R and leave it alone or simply transform a 93-95 into "Spirit R" spec -- it's not difficult, it just takes money, and a lot less than importing one here and doing the conversion. Usually, even rich people (especially rich people?) care about not wasting money.

Actually most uneducated investors did lose a lot of money by 2001.....I conserved profits long b4 then.... ...I am not on here to gloat but asked a simple question...one thing led to another and most of you think I cant afford it because I asked a "noob" question....The original ? was "can I do this" not "should I do this".... so I guess it's alright to assume that someone can't afford something without knowing anything about them...

You are right that rich people don't stay rich by wasting money and this is why I drive an rx8 as my daily driver......Most ppl in my position would lease something far more expensive but I grew up with rotaries in my family..... I support Mazda 1000% and this is my way of giving back to a company that is still trying to break even for its R&D of the rotary engine.......I don't see it as a waste of money at all b/c I have worked hard to get where I am and this is my dream car!!!A lot of friends of mine tell me to forget about mazda and get a bmw,porsche or a ferrari......But I don't care about showing off by buying expensive exotics....It is a waste of money in my eyes....so go ahead and hate.....it doesnt affect me one bit....

I probably shouldn't pipe in, but if you are what you say you are (being a self-made millionaire) and an investor to boot, surely you would realize the best method to purchase a vehicle would be to buy it outright rather than the lease it.

If you *really* want a Spirit R, just move over to your uncle's pad and buy one. Totally legal over in JPN and you can keep it stock to boot!
