yeah you're good to go dood. If u have fun which you most definately will...obviously...ull get used to it in no time. I've driven rhd cars in the UK every summer for a while now and come back to lhd and its fiine, at first its weird but it way fun and much better pedal setup. :] Just when u get into a scary situation dont break ur wrist on the door panel reaching for a lhd gear knob XD

Thats kinda what i figured i mean i no its not some crazy impossible thing. Just a pain but i guess that is also part of owning a rare JDM car here in the states.

A few pics i collected when i was gonna go 4 door

Steering with your right hand and shifting with your left just makes too much damn sense for the U.S... just tack up lhd on the rediculously long list of weird and stupid traits usdm cars have.

As awesome as that would be, Im sure it would break some NHTSA rule or other.

Not to mention the cost to the manufacturers.

only things i hate when driving a RHD car is the first 2 gears. They're all the way across the consol and are anoying to reach, Well atleast on the Supras.

itd be a disaster. it would cost a lot, and itd be confusing for all the drivers on the road. i'm not sure why you'd really want to be in a rhd car driving on the right side.

There would be two of each road. One for rhd and one for lhd.

Do you have a thread for your hatch? I love the way it looks... do you drift it? You mentioned drifting it at some point but is it your regular drifter now? What all have you done to it? Throw some pics of it up!

I'm not following ya man lol. To me controlling the the stick and the ebrake with my right hand is way more natural, kinda like jerkin' it I guess. I am a righty tho

Left hand and left foot are on the same side of your body for shifting and I would assume your brain is less confused. I'd love to try driving a RHD sometime.

There's no thread because there's no build. All I did was add some sidekirts and valences, lower it and change the wheels.

It's not my regular drifter, I've only slid it once so far. I need to buy a diff for it still.

Here are a few more pictures:

Cody, cody, CODY.

If sportmax 962s are your favorite wheels, you need to step up your game!

How is drifting a stock single cam? Is it hard to break loose the 10" wide wheels you have out back? Im wanting to get into drifting but money constraints are going to keep my power pretty low... should I stick to skinny tires? or do you think its fine to drift with a single cam on proper fitting wheels and tires?

With a single cam, I've seen people get down with 15" wheels and 195/50 tires @ 40-50psi. Definitely nothing wider than 8". Of course, plenty of people do awesome even spinning 17x9s or 18x9s, but you can definitely be more gangster with a 15x7 or 15x8 and small tires.

I haven't tried drifting with the 10s yet. But I did with the 17x9 Falkens and 215/40 tires at 50 psi and it was fine. Definitely slower though.

By that I ment they were my favorite wheels I could actually afford lol I think I have to many favorites to name but the ones I was thinking of getting if I didn't get those would be the Foose 500's How is that for stepping up my game. I love most all Foose design rims They just kick a**.
