Yes, it's possible. I suggest you research the topic. You will probably need to find a front clip to source all the parts for the conversion though.

**** a dime .12 Cents!
Im not bashing your idea but its very hard to do a conversion like that. You need to have someone that knows how to weld very well to make it look flawless and not only do you have to do that but you need an ENTIRE front clip. If you got a clip ordered you mind as well get the whole car. Someone up here (tacoma, washington) has a front clip of a Xsi integra with the b16 motor and an y1 lsd tranny for i think 1800-2000 pickup ONLY. Ive seen the car run, it starts. It has a c's short shifter, cusco strut bar, and JDM tanabe muffler (rear section only)
there is also another person up here selling a jdm gsr complete car and it runs...but i dont know the price. just some food for thought and the cent counter to .12
later guys

you're better off buying a front clip off a jdm integra...or getting the whole car for that matter.

honestly, since when are all the mods we do on our tegs really worth it?



some mod projects have a purpose where others are just merely for learning experience... and there are those projects that let those who need to feel important show off.

Or in some cases, it's actually cheaper and easier (in the long run) to just get a complete RHD car and use that Unless you really want to induldge yourself with such a project, then go for it. But if you want it done quick and half-*** just so that you can have a RHD car and floss it, then you're going to run into problems later on.

We should have some more coming in around the end of March, early April, and not just Hondas either

Default Re: converting to rhd (thehammer)

I am new to this forum . I tired to get a rhd 92 DA from Japan through an Importer. Before I even contacted them I went to the New Jersey DMV . It took 3 days for them to get back to me about getting the car a VIN and title. They told me I would need more than just a bill of landing and I might have to import another rhd DA so the DOT could evaluate its ability to withstand a crash. Not only that but they warned me that the car would most likely not clear customs due to the fact that it wasnt emissions legal and because it was rhd in a country where lhd is the standard.

I know I have seen JDM RHD cars in this country before. So my state ( NJ ) might just be giving me a run around because I am just one person and not an importer or speed shop .
