I'm toying with the idea of converting my car to RHD. I know I could find a front clip for a decent price (practically free after I part out the JDM goodies on it). I'm not a master mechanic by any means, but I can learn just about anything given time. I don't know how to weld, so I'm hoping there is minimal welding involved (that I can get help with).

So far, I know that I would need to replace or modify the firewall, modify the floorboards to accomodate the pedals (and seal the holes from the LHD pedals). I'm also told that I would need to relocate the master cylinder, clutch and brake resivoir, do some extentions on the wire harness (or perhaps use what is included in the clip?)

Door panels would also be smart, I guess!


My main question is: Is there anything that would need fabrication? I don't see how there would be, but nothing is as easy as it seems... I just want to cover all my bases. Any advice would be helpful!

 

Gotta bump it... I'm hoping someone can give me some input before this thing gets buried!

 

wow quite a project. but given the money involved in converting (which also includes the dashboard, steering assy, etc) plus all the safety issues involved after the conversion is done, it might be easier to just import a real deal JDM RHD 4gen accord (and just worry about tax issues and not mechanical headaches)

 

damn deever. chill man. next u gona say u want ur cb7 to fly. lol

Ever consider going thru fast food drive throughs with a RHD vehicle? Parking garage? Toll booths?

Just sounds to me that it will be MUCH more trouble than its worth.

Why is it easier to get out of one side of a car rather than the other?

 

I've got a RHD 4gen Accord....



But I do live in the UK and we stupidly have to be different from the rest of Europe and drive on the left

One advantage thinking about it.... it is good for JDM imports
