I too agree, its a waste of money.

But if you're serious about it, the easiest way to do this is to buy a LHD front clip, and work your way from there.

If you want a rhd CRX, buy one from Japan. It will be cheaper and won't fall apart. Plus you'll get a glass top :)

well I dont have the money to ship a crx from japan, and also I couldnt but a car without looking at it first, it to me months to find my rex, I had to look at dozens, but the hole Idea of rhd really turns me on!!!

and why is it such a waste of money, I think it would be sick if it was done right, like the steering collum, customs dash, pedals, ect,

importing a jdm crx isn't much more expensive. here in canada they can be had not much more than a usdm one. look into importing one across the border if to save the hassle of direct japan to usa.

It would be cool until you grow up.. no offense. I just don't think the whole Honda crowd is working for me because all they want are little lights or flashy body kits, the pointless things (like rhd conversions). I just don't get it.

I have a friend with a Skyline GTR he imported from Japan. We were out drinking last week and he said he kind of wishes it was lhd because it feels too weird while driving American roads, on the right lane.. I just don't see why people will pay to make driving harder.

your 100% right it is pointless if it is your daily driver but for a show car it is uncommon, thats the point. I would never put a rhd in my s10 but for a summer beach ride I think it is cool, I already got the flashy body kit, it just makes a car stand out from all the factory civic, that ma and pa drive

its very hard to do since the front clips for crx's and civic's are getting very hard to find a friend of a friend has a 90 civic si with a rhd swap its a very sweet car but i would never do it on a ever day car. i will be doing it on 92 integra that i found for 500 bucks the da front clip with motor and all body parts is 1300 and to do the rhd conversion is 1500 with paint. but i will be installing a full 6-point roll cage with it.

Dude! RHD WOULD BE TIGHT!!! I want to do it to my rex but I really have no idea how to..I've heard of ppl buying the front clips off an jdm crx for like 500$ and cutting welding and blah blah blah but yea any info would be awsome...

Wow, thats very impressive.

I would hate trying to pass in the US while driving a rhd car. It would make it really hard to see around the car in front of you.

Well at least we all know what kind of man this Darhemady is now. And he obviously has no idea who he is talking to. Did ya happen to notice the 4,553 posts right under the honda sign. After that long on the board people generally have a knack for people with realy cars and stupid posers without drivers licenses.
Anyway just to fill you in, last I head Ricochet's car was a black hatch with a sweet ass JDM B16B. Now does that mean anything to you? Do you know what that motor comes from. My instinct tells me you don't have a clue so go do a little research and come tell us what you find.

Yo be careful how u word your response when you type back cause I am sure that you don't want to end up meeting somewhere and I will show you how to box. Matter of fact give some addresses so we can either race settle some arguments cause you think you no something. Pick a car you would like to race Sentra(sr20det), Supra(1jz), Starlet(7ase turbo) which everyone you want around Thanksgiving time, so after I am done you will be full! I would race my accord but I am dropping an h23 engine in it. Lets take this shit to another level and settle like some men and F#@k this typing shit HOMEBOY!

YO BY THE WAY RICOCHET YOUR WHIP IS HOT! KEEP THAT SHIT UP!
MAYBE WE COULD RUN IT ONE DAY nctodafull12000@yahoo.com
