I have recently purchased a jdm crx sir front clip and was wondering the best way to do the right hand drive conversion. If anyone can tell me anythng or give me a website with info that would be great

is that from the firewall forward? if so, I would say the easiest way to do that conversion is to just clip your currect car and weld the RHD clip in its place. Its a lot easier said than done, but that would be the easiest way I could think of.

id have to agree with tony there, but some front clips are different from others. did you get the frame and all, or just engine, axels, brakes and suspension?

why would you want to go rhd?

i dont see the benefits, only negative things.
other than it will be 'different' in which case its probably easier to import a whole ukdm or jdm car.

yeh, would it not be awkward for you's..., u not drive on the "wrong" side of the road ie right???, which would mean overtaking would be a pain in the arse cos u cant see sh1t!!

RHD rocks - in a RHD country. :)

I wouldn't try for the conversion at all - you will weaken the car structurally - it will only be as strong as the welds used. Just transplant it - the fascination with JDM is way too much IMO

ill give you my whole car for free. bearing in mind it is not road worthy and only has 3 wheels.

wait, actually no i wont, i might need it when i crash again.

thats WHEN not IF hahaha.

but yeah, im sure RHD will make you stand out from the other american folks but i swear it would be easier to import a whole car than 'cut n shut' two together. thast acually illegal in this country i think?
