also if it hasnt been titled how hard will it be to get it titled. what are the steps i need to take. Does it just need to pass emissions, also when you go to title it what all do you have to have to take to the dmv if there is no paper work on it from being shipped over

Its real hard and Im assuming you dont have the funding to coordinate such a feat. Why would you even want a right hand drive?

Lets see youd have to bribe someone or crash test two efini rx7's and pay for the conversion of all of them to prove that your modifications have made it pass the crash test. You have to import all three. Youre looking at roughly $100,000.

Have a rice.....I mean nice evening.

Look, this has been covered at least 472 times on this forum. I'm shooting you straight up. Youre not going to accomplish this in a legal manner. Plus youd look foolish driving your car on the right side. As opposed to cool.

No, they rule because they have a car in the states that was never brought here. And its legal through motorex.

You; on the other hand, would have a right hand drive version of a car thats already here in left hand drive. And be breaking the law.

Theres a way to title them as a show car. But it has to be a car you couldnt get in the US. European cars are available LHD last time I checked. Jerry Seinfeld could not get his Porsche 959 registered legally. Youre just going to have to suck it up and sit on the left side of the car. That is if you can even afford one without your mothers help. You post like a 16 year old. Try some grammar.

Grammar makes your posts easier to read. Its like common courtesy on the internet. It gets you street cred. Youre not going to be driving a right hand drive vehicle on our shores legally. Currently the skyline is the only car that legally feasible with. Or even financially for that matter. More to the point. Its not financially viable. You must either get a left hand drive Rx-7 or get a different car. This is not my ultimatum. This is the way it is.

Its legal to own one. Its illegal to drive one on public roads. If you want to tool around in your driveway or tow one to the track then go for it.

You will not get a right hand drive Rx-7 titled, registered, or insured for public roads in the United States of America.

My guess for an excellent condition right hand drive Rx-7 would be no more than $10,000 as it is only good for parts/track car. And I mean that is the absolute clouds for the cleanest 7 I've ever seen.

You could register it as an off road vehicle.
