RHD FD3S Emissions

Hey guys, I just purchased a RHD FD3S for a really good price. Just wondering if anyone has done emission testing on a RHD FD3S in Toronto, Ontario or surrounding areas.

You know with our wonderful emission laws I may have a hard time to getting it emission tested.

Any suggestions or recommendations welcome...

Thanks in advance guys.

I don't see why RHD or LHD would change what came out of the tailpipe?

I do not think JDM models have EGR.

Yah, RHD is the same as LHD. You'll have a hard time passing RHD though since they don't have the emmissions things the US cars have.

EGR Valve

Well from doing a little research I found out that there are a few things that the Japanese FD needs to pass emission testing in ontario.

There's no EGR Valve on them so it would be a little difficult to change over. Will keep you guys posted and see what happens.

Thanks
