Do anybody know what will cost for labor to have the car converted from a LHD to a RHD. Changing only the firewall. Not welding the front-clip.

 

i know welding the front clip is around 5 or 6 grand...

 

its goona cost more than its worth in my opnion wellover 5 g's

 

how does one qualtify time, energy and a passion to bling?

LMAO!

 

$5-$6g means... cost with labor and clip together? What if you bought the clip already. But just want the labor to be done.

 

I got my rhd clip from rickys auto center @ raceup.com for $400(96 type r clip mint ) and it was $300 to ship it. Then my friend is doing a clean job on the conversion for $1000 on my 99 integra gsr it will be done next week. If anybody wants his number i'll give it to you he located in El Paso and he does a good job So the total for my Rhd was about total $1800

 

why don't you just buy a complete rhd car?

 

That's a good question?I dont know how much the real RHD integras run but i know I don't have 6k-15k in cash just to buy it. So I got the next best thing

 

whats the point of changing sides?

many reasons. bling factor, comfort? maybe some people feel more natural sitting on the right side shifting with their left hand always having their right hand on the steering wheel.

originality too? if i had the money i'd convert. i'm not a lazy ***, i'll get out of my car and walk to micky d's instead of being a gayass and getting drivethrough. as far as tollbooths are concerned, 1. IPASS, and 2. who pays anyway?

wish i could afford that, but 1800's not a bad price.. definitely woudl cut down a lot if you did the work yourself and sell your oem clip

 

I wonder if you could get a complete RHD teg and used the vin# from your existing USDM teg. This way it would be registered and insured.

I have always wondered the same thing. I mean if you change all of them out, or just replace all the glass with the glass from your existing teg, and then swap rear bumpers and front ends just long enough to pass nationalization, just to change it all back???? Hmm...

 

you got too much time in ohio dude....

 

forget RHD and just make your car faster or handle better

 

Why not all three???

maybe for just the clip, then he'll tack on the body work and labor

 

I payed 1000 for labor alone?

 

i paid 800 for the clip and a 1000 to get it clipped, should be done this week

Yeah, I realize that whatever you do to a USDM car. You can never make it to JDM. Only if you buy the JDM car over in Japan or even EDM (Europe)

 

im gonna be doing a RHD conversion on my hatch.
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=696829

i traded my 17s for the clip... and i gotta pay for shipping...

ill be doing the conversion my self... with some friends hopefully... or just my self... cutting, grinding, welding, painting... etc... im gonna be taking pix... and probably do a write up on it if i feel like it....

http://itzdarave.com/forums/in...rum=3 is the current pix of the hatch...

i got the hatch for $150... yea everythings going to be a lot of work... but im going for the experience here... and i can say i built that car... LOL...

 

crazy mang... I have a friend who works at Robotek Motorsports. He drive a 90 DB2 4dr teg.

He did an impossible journey. He converted a regular USDM LHD 95 4dr Integra to a RHD 4dr DB8 Integra Type-R conversion... pratically the works. It's his first time doing the job. Even though the owner of the car rush him it actually came out pretty nice. He eye ball the firewall and everything seem to fits well. There is no kink in the steering or anything like that. I drove the darn thing when it was finish.

He told me only thing lag the most was missing parts and unavailable specialty tools. He bought **** load of specialty tools just to do the RHD conversion. Welder, reciphoflare maker, pipings, fittings, etc.. etc..

Get this he reused the USDM 4dr Integra interior and engine harness. It took him about 1-2 weeks just to rewired the USDM harness. He also doesn't know where to put the USDM fuse box. He wanted to use the JDM fuse box but it has missing plugs on there. Instead he made a custom place next to the steering column to place the USDM fuse box for temporary until he find a way to slap the thing into the RHD fuse box holder.
