If you want RHD parts, there are plenty of used parts in breakers in England, we seem to wreck S2Ks quick over here.

Like I said, the parts are easy to get, and relitivaly cheap, it is the labor that I am worried about getting pricey. If I could do the complete swap for around $4k somehow, I will propably end up doing it.

Umm, wouldn't your insurance company be more than a little pissed if you were in an accident in your RHD car?

rhd conversion isn't worth it. get an MCB JDM S2000 if you really want RHD.

otherwise..

- custom paint
- two sets of show rims
- custom JDM DVD/NAV in-dash LCD
- custom turbo

dude, honestly, its your car and you should do anything you want to. If you want RHD go for it, it would look really tight and indeed unique. but it is not requred to win shows. Just look at dan, his car is a winner at shows and his is still LHD. Personally, i would do like a body kit, engine work, wheels and things of that nature. Take for example RJ Divera's car. It is featured in all sorts of magazines, show winner, everything. and his isnt RHD.....just a thought, but u should do whatever you feel will make ur car better, not what nebody else thinks.

Here's a totally useless question - is it legal to drive a RHD vehicle in the US? My MIL is a postal carrier, and she had to get a special license to drive the RHD postal vehicle. Does this vary state to state?
