Thinking of getting an FD
So i found a '92 rx-7 for sale in japan. I can get in imported for a reasonable price and its in pretty good shape. Should i buy it? if so what would i have to do to make it road legal?

i wouldnt buy rhd.. they are so dangerous. seen so many vehicles get hit due to driver cant see when turning left. it would most likely be your fault if you ever get into accidents.

Hi Chris, welcome to the forums!
"Reasonable price" is relative to the condition of the car. One of my qualms with looking at RHD vehicles is the buying sight-unseen factor. Pictures very often can be misleading, you wouldn't want to be surprised by something that would've been caught earlier via in-person inspection. There is no shortcutting the cost of buying an FD - money you save now will most likely be spent later trying to fix problems. Of course, I'm saying this without knowing about the car you're actually looking at.
That said, there are a lot of reasons to buy a RHD car. If the trim/model year you're after isn't available here, or if the car you're looking at has mods on it that align with the direction you plan on taking the car, then I trust that you've done your buyers research on it. The 3rd gen FAQ has a lot of good resources for buyers. If you decide to buy, please post some pictures for us! FD ownership is a great experience. Good luck!
