Right hand to left hand drive
I am from Greece and I am thinking to buy a new rx7 fd 2000 model from Cyprus.
Did someone know what parts I need to buy for convert it to left hand drive?
I ask mazda and they said that the wires of the car is to long so they can put it to left side of the car without change it.
But they didnt know to tell me what other parts I need.
Please inform me.
Also can I keep the interior instruments of 2000 model and change only the table?
Sorry for but english

The ABS is on the right on a RHD car. You will have to switch that to the left side of the car when the steering system is swapped. That's all I can think of at the moment, but something else might come up. Good luck.

Is hard work to swap the abs system?
Also the new rx7 2000 model have the corect place in chassis to install the brake system to left and a hole at left side for wheel shaft ?or I must modify the chassis.

I know that is better to buy a lhd rx7 but in my country who have lhd rx7 the price is 25000$ and with the same cost I can buy from cyprus 2000 model includind the cost of custom and shiping and in better condition.
For this reason I want to import rx7 from other country.

well i'm in the US, and i could go to japan and pick up a MINT fd for the same price of an average one here, but i'd never be able to register it or do anything with it because of the money involved in importing and legalizing it. i know you can get a better condition car for less money, but sometimes it's just not worth it. shop around for the right rx7 LHD and you'll find one

Is it illegal to have to have a right hand drive in greece? I'm from Jamaica and they have a lot of right hand drives come in from Japan...Also there are left hand drives coming in from the states...It's legal to have both...You just have to get used to driving it.

Hey Robert, If your car comes with the girl, I'll trade you my RHD RX-7. By the way she needs to come with the Mazda hat she's wearing in the picture. Talk to you later Robert.

Hmmm. So if I buy an fd for around $15000 here in the states, and then get stationed in the mediteranean, I could turn around and make a $10000 profit.....hmmmm

I got the car running. All I need now are some bad *** wheels and some body work. Then we can race for that extra hat you have. I want the one your GF is wearing.

In this week I go to another official mazda service center who some of my friends who all ready have an fd told me that they are specialist on rx7.
Also someone else told me that the chassis of 2000 is the same with 92 so you have only to unscrew and rescrew the new parts for conversion with out modification on it.
But I can not trust anyone because no one in my country do this conversion I am the first person who I try it.
Finaly in my country you can have and use a right hand car with no problem and you can register the car without problem.
And why mazda stop import rx7 in europe and usa?
What the prescriptions of exhaust for 2000 model?
