Im about to buy a JDM ITR, but has you all know the JDM ITR has RHD, that means I would have to adapt to this new driving style or change the wheel to the left side.

What Im asking here is if anyone ever made this change, if there were problems, the best way to do it. Sugestions... are welcome.

A friend told me maybe the best way would get a crashed car with LHD and use its parts.

 

if you want a left hand drive why not just look for a USDM ITR and save yourself the trouble?

 

WTF y would u change to LHD? RHD owns

 

Well, JDM ITR are very diferent from US or European ITRs. I am going to import one directly from Japan, and Im very used to the LHD.

And getting the car from Japan is also cheaper much cheaper....

when you say they are cheaper, does that include setting aside money to convert it to LHD? i would say just find a euro itr and save yourself the headache. check out the ITR forum as well, there are a number of euro users that could help you out finding one.

 

Thats a lot of cutting and welding dude. Not for me but good luck with all that.

 

Driving on the right hand side is not hard.

from what he is saying, its cheaper to import a jdm itr than to buy a euro itr. read a little more carefully.

no because i grew up in new zealand and i like driving RHD cars much better. the handling is much easier to me

**** if it's JDM or not i just want if clean........

 

I also live in europe and JDM cars are big business here, i have owned 7 JDM hondas, 4 integras, 1 SiR civic, 1 SiR CRX and 1 prelude Si. I bought my 96spec ITR this year for a tad over $10k fully registered and on the road.(that price included the cost of the car and shipping, all taxes, registration and agents fee's)

To convert from RHD to LHD you will need a front clip from a LHD car to do it properly (but without the engine) battery cables, brake master cylinder, throttle cable and linkage, pedals and linkage, steering wheel and possibly steering rack (not sure on that one) all have to be swapped over, along with a LHD complete dash board etc etc, way too much work and would end up making your cheap import very expensive...it would be cheaper to buy a LHD Euro ITR and buy a JDM front end conversion if thats what you really want....either that or just learn to drive RHD. theres nothing really to it, passing out is a bit of a pain, but after a week or so driving you become accustomed to it, plus you have the added novelty of having a genuine RHD ITR in a land where you drive on the wrong side of the road (here in ireland we drive on the correct side...the left...lol )

 

just keep it as is, my friend has a rhd and i drove it and was used to it in like 15 minutes

 

yeap keep it the way it is..if ur gonna make it LHD maybe we can swap? haha

 

pansy... rhd isn't hard.. just be super careful of left turns at major intersections.
