RHD isn't a big deal, but if I could have my RC as LHD I would.

Just a heads up, cars imported to Canada no longer get Canadian VIN's, they keep the JDM VIN. Also if your insurance is anything like ours then once a vehicle has been in a place/out of it's registered area for X amount of time the insurance has to be changed or it's invalid. Finally if the insurance is in one persons name but it is being driven by another person too much, the insurance is invalid. That's how it works in BC anyways (Alberta is close to the same, so a lot of the Albertans driving around here have no insurance...), so unless you want to risk screwing over yourself and whoever the car is registered to in Canada you may as well swap a VIN from a 202 and run that risk instead.
Agree...but how does your insurance know that the vehicle has been out of its registered area for X amount of time??? Unless your getting tickets left and right....And it is illegal to drive around without insurance and liability is dirt cheap. Yes imported cars keep the JDM VIN which makes the car more authentic (thats how i see it) lol...... and if you do have the time to do a swap that would solve your problems, then again will you swap the RHD too and also it wouldnt be true JDM no more......
Well for starters it had to cross a border to leave, also when you're in an accident the insurance agencies start asking around if they suspect anything. Ie if the car is in California being driven by a Californian and the RO is still in Calgary and the car is insured in Calgary, they can either see when that car crossed the border or ask around in California (neighbors, coworkers, etc) how long they've been seeing this car around for. If the car is reg'd in Calgary and is crashed in BC and the RO also owns/lives/works in BC then they'll find out how long the car has been in BC. If it's here too long, you have no insurance. That's why I ALWAYS get underinsured motorist protection, cause Albertans also can't drive for shit on top of barely/not having insurance :lol:
