anyways count me as one thats not looking forward to the day that i see RHD FD's on the road (or any car that i can get a LHD example of)
Amen to that!

Truth be told, your old RX was pretty exclusive compared to most of the FD's out there, especially the low-budget ones we'll be seeing entering the country relatively soon. A "normal" FD is quickly going to become commonplace...Originally posted by JAYMEZ_STi

The internet is a funny place, you never know who youre talking too... Whats even funnier is if you go back a few years I had my hands on a maserati, and it was pretty exclusive. A 1985 biturbo S, nice car but it had its issues...
But back to the FD, its not the money that makes it exclusive its the numbers. When just over 10,000 cars graced our shores its not exacly common place. And when that gets polluted with 1000's of JDM cars its kinda shitty

i for one am allready saving money for one. wether it's right hand drive or not. I've had an fc and I sold it and started putting money away for an fd. and eventually i will have one. and i don't car to be exclusive for me owning a rotory car is not about exclusivity it's about being an enthusiast of one of the best built engines ever.

who's going to fix all these cars, rx7 specialties??? he's the only one with a really good knowledge of the car.
i like the rx7 but i'm not a fan of rhd from japan, we'll see a bunch of beat up rx7's on the side of the road. if i was to ever consider buying one, i'd pay under 10k for the car save 5k for a new engine and 5k for paint and body.

fyi, i contacted hinson supercars, they make kits for the rhd model, you just have to tell them before you order, same priceOriginally posted by Ekliptix
sshhhhhh
Seriously, is it a huge deal to convert from RHD to LDH in these cars??
as per passing on the highway, left turns, etc. mount a camera that can withstand some abuse in the front opening of the bumper (passenger side) and rig it through to an lcd screen in the car, kind of like what motor homes use to back up

I would just wait for a year or two and see if some beyonders decided to sell their RHD FDs
undecided now wheter to go for EVO3 in 08 or FD in 07

sry i had to comment u on this. You dont know shit about imported cars. say u import a 240sx (180sx) from japan. okay, over there they got 200hp stock. cuz they got the sr20 in it. STOCK! but when get sent to america or north america. they remove those engines andd put in american made ka24's in which are shitty cuz there like Fords engines. AMERICAN MADE!. is not a good thing. JAPAN MADE! is the best thing.Originally posted by CCM Pro
whats so special about one from Japan? excuse my ignorance I was just curious as to why not get one from North America?
Plus RHD!

Most of the cars imported here are Japanese garbage that they don't want anymore and all of a sudden there is a huge dump a few thousand kilometers away that will take anything...
I've got nothing against RHD, it is just sad IMO when you see these kids that go up to people and they're liek "OH WOW RHD you're my idol that is the cleanest car ever" and I just look at them like "Do you notice that half of the interior of that car is missing?"
If you're going to import one, don't be a cheap fuck, get one from a private seller so that at least all the RX-7's that are getting imported are clean.

seriously, alot of well put comments in this thread. I do agree that about 60% of the cars that do come in are garbage. but hey some people what something that they can afford. even with the s13's, its cheaper to buy a jdm 180sx or even a silvia than to do the swap over here. well unless your car is a total pos that is.
I do think there is going to be alot of problems with these cars and unless your used to looking at your car all the time needing something done, stay away from rotory.
