if you want to do a rhd swap do it because you want to and not cause its cool. your driving(that is if you can drift) is going to suffer and like everyone else said driving them around town is a mother.

i just converted mine and it was a ton of work. the best way to do it is to get an empty clip due to the fact that everything you need is in its proper place.(for reference) be perpared to have a ton of work a head of you. it took me a solid week of 6 hour days getting everything cut out, trimmed up, and welded in(oh ya if you cant weld, dont have your own welder, or know how to use one, be prepared to spent a ton of money) i still havent gotten to my wiring yet cause i have to work on other peoples cars now,being unemployed sucks(thank collar bone). AND DO IT THE RIGHT WAY, move your wipers to the correct side.

heres an idea how much work it is
lhd

went on a cutting rampage*note the blower motor opening, ya that needs to change*

rhd firewall test fit

rhd blower motor opening

opposite side




and while your in there its a very good idea to stitch weld the chassis like so


sry for all the pics i just wanted to show you how much work it really is.
For all the people that are going to say i wasted my money, i work for a a Japanese importer and had a clip laying around from a previous swap so everything i have done was free. just cost me welding wire and my time, and with a broken collar bone you really cant ride bikes or go to work so i had tons of time.
good luck and if you have any question pm me if you'd like some help
