From Right Hand to Left Hand Drive
Has anyone bought an FD from Japan and had a converstion done to change it from a right hand drive to left hand drive? I'm not even sure if this is possible but if so how much does this cost to have done? Thanks.

FD's can be shipped maybe not to the USA but from what I've read there is no problem having one shipped to Canada.

Because I can't buy a LHD Mazda Spirit R Type A anywhere other then in Japan and if it's something I really want to do then it's not a waste of my time.

Sure am. I am happy to see that I've yet to read anything about an FD not being able to be imported to Canada.
Does anyone know where you would go have to an import converted from a RHD to a LHD? This is the one thing I'm not having any luck finding out. Any guesses on the cost factor? Thanks for any help you can offer on this topic.
