got a 98 ex shell that im gonna be working with and i am considering the idea of make it RHD. Now ive heard/read the arguments that it makes no sense in a LHD contry "bla bla" or "it lowers resell value bla bla" and even the it wont make your performance better "bla bla". lol

My question is
A) What do you guys think of them? Is It Worth It?
B) Anyone who has done or knows someone who has done one.. what kind of headaches did u run into during it? what advice would u lend someone about to attempt it after doing yours?

1) its wack and POINTLESS
2) dangerous when you enter a freeway/highway since it will be harder to see oncoming traffic
3) if its a D.I.Y, IT IS A PAIN IN THE ***! literally

I think it looks sweet, But i wouldn't ever want to attempt it.

Ive seen tons of people start and get an amazing ammount of work done and then give up. I have also seen people who have done it and would never do it again. Its just a ton of money and effort for little back. You also gotta wonder how safe you car after you cut it in half at the firewall and then put it back together.

I know a guy here who just cut his firewall out and then welded the new firewall in.. that is on his Crx he's even putting the glass top on it, he's got the firewall done and started the top.. it's really just if you are willing to go through the work and everything.. as long as you buy everything you should be ok.. The guy here does A LOT of work and has all the tools to do it.. if you have all the tools and have all the stuff then you shouldn't have too much of a headache.. make sure you take ur time and do everything correctly..

thanks to the people who responded.. minus the queer with the first response... its amazing that you come to a site about cars ask a question and get "go home" how idioic are u to actually spend the time clicking my post and responding.

as far as seeing oncoming traffic... id belive id be st8 with my side mirror... i dont see how i cudnt see stuff coming..

It looks cool,but not for me.

You could probably buy a RHD for like 7k or so, the money you will spend on tools and getting it street legal, etc would probably be equal. Youre better off getting a RHD in here.

I think it is a ridiculous level of effort for what you get... I mean all of that time and money just to sit on the other side and shift with your left hand...? When I see one I just don't see the point and I don't get that "Mad Tyte JDM" Euphoria that others seem to get. Think of all of the other things you could spend your money on. You could probably have a pretty nice car when it is all said and done...

SHG_Claudio

Yup, unless your car is RHD to begin with, you might as well get some nice parts.

i am not going to just RHD convert it with no performance parts.. im just saying if ima rhd convert it its gonna be while its just the shell... seems smarter/easier to me...

prelude1897 has done it on his prelude and it was an ongoing process. if this is your daily either a. dont do it or b. buy another car to drive. if you pm him im sure he could help.

do you have pics of the car?

tercel95

But seriously... What is the point???

good luck getting it regged after you do that. Lots of states are ****ing people over with RHD cars now. Namely taking away there registration and not allowing them to register it in the country anymore. You may want to check with your local DMV before even starting to see if it is legal in your area.

im speaking from experience and im saying dont do it . i love rhd but if i could go back i would save up and buy a real rhd from japan. so much less stress and time . in the end i jst dont think the work is worth it . i still love my car though and i never plan on selling
