Not sure if this is a joke or not, but no, you wont have to convert your car to RHD.

^ Hey, some people don't know.

As he said, you wouldn't have to go RHD, but you probably can get a USDM motor for less than a JDM one in your area. Look into that first.

~Cheers~

I once found a place in NY/NJ who only sells JDM engines for our 2.5 pr 3.2.
They guaranteed that the engines only had between 35k to 55k miles.

I ended up buying a USDM engine for $850.00 with 39k miles on it.

search on line and you will find some company who sells JDM engines for our cars.
