I'm not even thinking of the speed that just leads to accidents. Everything about the car stock is well built. I love type r's. Yeah I thought about that tollways and fast food is going to be a hassle but hey I don't mind holding the line by getting out of my car haha : )

Confusing as s$?t for most of us, as we are accustomed to left hand drive position.

You don't have to get out of the car to get the mail anymore. Also, you'll confuse the hell out of your dates when you open the "driver's side door" for them.

There's a RHD Skyline in Vancouver I saw a while ago.

It looked cool and probably would be a lot of fun to drive from a novelty standpoint.

The most confusing part of it is not shifting with your left, but getting used to where the rear view mirror is. It took me a good part of a day to even realize it was there and could be used.

So you're going to sell a car with a known history for one with an unknown history, just because it's RHD?

Smart.

Real smart.

Im sure he is not the only who has gone from usdm to jdm aRR's. So why does it matter what he does it's his money and how do you know he is not making a profit from selling his car. Point being its his money and he could do what he wants.

Good choice! I Love my RHD-R cause it is just how Honda designed it, and not moded to be LHD, plus MY 98 spec has no ABS, no SRS, no power steering...just the way I would mod a USDM.

Drove my cousin's R33 last week. Not much different except for me reaching for the wipers instead of signals and drifting towards the left side of lane. Shifting and clutching is very easy.

among the disadvantages listed, some advantages to buying a jdm itr is the lighter chassis, nicer front end (IMO), and upgraded interior. In stock form it's pure extasy.


&lt;-------------who just bought a jdm rhd hype Arrrrrr

Get a Hawker battery and there are your weight savings.

No performance advantage whatsoever other than FD.

weight savings <u>and</u> FD all depends on which ITR trim you look at........96 spec/98 spec, non-abs/abs, non-srs/srs.

also for performance, other than 4.785 FD the jdm shift linkage is lighter, better designed rear upper control arms(98 spec) HID headlights for improved visibility(98 spec), and recaro srd's for more support.
