I have both a RHD B4 RSK and my USDM S2k, you can always tell someone who is new to driving on the wrong side of the road on the wrong side of the car when you see there wipers going on a sunny day at an intersection instead of your turn signal. I am guilty of it regularly after hopping out of the RHD DD and getting in the S. LOL!

Just remember which one is which

Haha! I'm good friends with Josh Croll from Croll's Customs who is widely known for his RHD DC5 up here in PA. I remember when he first converted his car he constantly hit the wipers instead of turn signals lol

Left handed shifting isn't a problem. I did it when my right hand was broken and I only ever muffed one shift during those weeks (lesson to self: don't get cocky). That was tougher because I was operating a lever on the other side of my body, but it felt natural enough - certainly not confusing. Sitting on the wrong side of the car is more challenging, but humans are pretty adept at shifting their perspective - so, not really a problem either. Heck, I drove an RHD E-Type (not mine) when I was a teenager and had little trouble adjusting.

There are a lot of drawbacks to putting your eyes off the center of the road. Not sure I'd go through all the trouble just to be different, but that's just me.

I currently have the JDM ECU, but im throwing codes that we think are related to the ECU malfunctioning. DO you by chance know if the AEM units work with the JDm cars?? From what i have read, the air pump works differently in the JDM ECUs and the fuel pump wire is different. I'm not sure how that will playout with an AEM designed for american cars
