Story on my GT from Top Gear Oz

[OzGT]

Illegal - Most of Australia will not register and license it (no left hand drives allowed); it's legal in New Zealand.

Correct, next to 100% impossible to do anything with as a left hand drive legally on the road here, simple as that. There was a situation for limited use, which was so ridiculous no one would even contemplate it i.e. something like you could only drive for 50km from where you lived, etc. etc. Don't even know if that situ still exists- needless to say I never see people on the road with left handers these days as it is... On top of that it's a real 'mindf*ck' to drive an LHD vehicle on the left side of the road when all the rest of your vehicles are RHD. I'd hate to mentally switch by accident to thinking I was back driving in the US on the right!

OzGT,

If you don't mind me asking - what does a RHD conversion run to?? (Thinking it might be worth shipping car down there - get it converted - have a driving holiday then ship it back).

also what mods did you do to the car to get the power?

Thanks!

A conversion here runs $A79k retail. My cost was discounted as it was the mule and I kicked off the idea with the conversion company.

My car has the gen 2 Whipple kit, FFRP headers and muffler, Accufab T/B w/ Bellow. Essentially the package MMP sell, but with the exhaust added.
