Recently moved to the Cayman Islands and sold my 2001 TL. A lot of people here import cars from Japan. I found a 99 Inspire on Japanesevehicles.com and I was instantly sold!
And I also was amazed at the interior condition. Like I said only 40,000 km, oem mats that are perfect, no bulging door panels or dash trim curling up - I will RELIGIOUSLY use a sunvisor when Im not driving this car lol
Lol yea I just noticed the 32v on the back but man that thing is badass. I looked on the website link you left and damn they were going for so cheap(before shipping cost)! And in perfect condition, hell makes me want to move to canada and get one lol
So I'm about to start the Cluster L.E.D. conversion and some diy with the intake resonator this weekend. Still trying to figure out if anyone has ever seen this spoiler with the weird marker lenses???

optional spoiler in japan. there's been a couple people here in the states who have the same spoiler and changed out the color to red to keep a low profile from the cops.
there's also different versions of the spoiler with back up camera in either black and white or color.

Cool thanks for the info I was thinking blue to match the rest of the interior theme but red would probably be more low profile... the green right now is weird. Ill pull the spoiler off and see if I can access the bulb and swap it
Also Removed the Intake Resonator and found that the factory fogs use an H1 bulb in Japan. Any suggestions on L.E.D. bulb for upgrade or should I go HID?
Bumper off
Resonator removal in progress
hard to wiggle out so I pulled the airbox up top too
Thinking of running a homemade CAI with PVC piping... Anyone done that already? Its expensive to ship stuff to the island so I'm thinking of just building one
Black trim paint on a newly cut-out matte plastic (i used a partially see-thru plastic folder-helps diffuse the bright l.e.d. a little more)
finished product
wider shot
now cluster and shifter are done
painted the woodgrain trim while it was out
need to do something with the steering wheel and door panels now. Should I pull the door panels and drill out the door woodgrains or just tape them off and paint them in the car???
i love it, what is the dimensions on the navigation screen. Do you know if it can be replaced with a pioneer touch screen ?
Only downside to that is that the A/C controls are imbedded in the NAV screen.
One option would possibly be to relocate the NAV to the factory stereo spot & put a double-din where the NAV was.
It's really not that bad. I had a RHD '98 EK SiR Hatch for a weekend a few years ago. It was harder to get back into my LHD than it was to adjust to the RHD.
