Forget about legalizing. But if you want a track / show car, or just don't give a shit, I've heard good things about those guys.

would you get pulled over just for driving a RHD drive car, in Cali?

hmm good question. I saw some dude driving around a rhd civic (i think the EG, the 92-94s) It was pretty weird sitting next to him at the light. Nice car btw, wish i had my cam

There are no laws specifically against driving RHD cars, but if a cop picks up on it, you WILL attract his/her attention and the WILL look for something to pull you for so they can investigate.

There is a CA18DET RHD RMS13 at VA beach thats pretty badass...but the guy converted it himself.

HOly shit,I might buy one of those shits....To me the legalization process would be WELL worth it.

I have driven a RHD car on the street.....full fuckin race ... Nothing like stalling out and missing the first three gears :rawk:

They are good deals if you want a track car... other than that its not worth it at all. having a car garaged so your buddies can see!!IMO

just steal the VIN off of an old nissan. before everything was emmissions tested. they don't look at your car when you go to the RMV.

if you got an S13, Z32, or S14 you could swap the windshield, make it LHD, and swap the vin.... ba'am instant "legal"ization.

Like the guy said find a car that they have a USDM of. Z car, S13, s14, or even dare I say it most Honda cars make good candidates, because you will have to Change out the windshield, add a bumper support, and both the doors (or all 4 on four doors models) because they do not meet impact standards. After that you really have to just make it Smog legal. I'd say it's easier where I live because I don't think Kentucky gives too much of a shit about anything, at least in my county. We got some pretty hillbilly mufflerless shit running around lol. "Pack up the kids and fill up the Scottsdale with 87, we're goin to Wal*Mart."

Is it realy that cheap to send over a silvia. I find it kind of fishy. If you buy it, do you think it could get stuck in customs and end up paying an ass load of money to get it out, if they dont seize it for good. Or does this company have some sort of insurence to protect you from loseing 5g's?
