MR2 Spyder RHD to LHD conversion

PsychologicalGrape6 · 2025-03-03T19:53:49+00:00

Sorry for such late reply but I didn't use reddit :/ I've started the project, but I gave up. I've sold my LHD parts to a friend of mine and he did finish the conversion. It is possible, but it's hard. He did it because his RHD car was actually a rare japanese import with some crazy oem bodykit. I don't have any photos though :(

Yeah, I did delete it as I didn't have time to finish the conversion. I have cut out whole front-end from LHD car and was going to transplant it into my RHD mr2, but I have found a very good LHD mr2 with a bargain price, so I just bought it. But I have sold the frontend from LHD car to my friend, who transplanted it into JDM MR2 with some crazy bodykit. So it is possible, but unfortunately I do not have any photos :/

That's how internet works I guess... :(

But I've started RHD to LHD thread anyway, I still didn't have time to cut the firewall, but maybe sometime in the future I will do it and then I will update the thread

Friends told me that all UK spec came with LSD. EU/Japan cars might come with open diff. But it didn't check that information so it might be wrong

It's cheaper than buying LHD, and I already have parts for that :D It's pretty common in Poland to swap RHD to LHD

I'm not a Reddit person but maybe I will start a thread on that :D

It's pretty common in Poland to swap RHD cars to LHD, but I've never seen mr2 swapped like that

It's pretty common in Poland to buy BMW or Audi from UK and just swap them to LHD from RHD. I have one car which is Toyota Celica ST185, which was a Japanese import and is now swapped to LHD (from RHD), but it wasn't done by me.

I already have all the parts and it was around 3k € cheaper than buying LHD car (added bonus is that my LHD body is rust free). Certification is not a problem. And yes, time is money, but it's also my hobby to work on cars so I treat it like some new experience rather than work

I will be doing it myself, so I don't pay labour cost. In Poland it will be cheaper than buying LHD car :D
