i had a buddy that did a conversion on his 240. he was stoped once...the police said nothing about the conversion...and its still registerd as a reg. 240...another guy that i meet once who drives a s15 went to the chp and was told its fine he has the car as long he stayed on the right side of the road on the real. here in so cal you just need to know the spots you go into, because all cops are different.

i believe blackcivic answered the question before you even asked it.
If you are asking, is it legal to drive an unregistered car if it's RHD, then im pretty sure the answer is no, doesn't sound logical that a rhd car would get to skip registration.

Only problem I had was when a Cop followed me home, but didn't really do anything other than stare at me.

i get followed, but i guess when they run the plates it comes back as a grey market car. so i don't get pulled over for that.
i did get pulled over one time cause the cop thought i was letting my 5 yr old drive the car.

they were not made in japan, they're the uk spec coupes that they imported to japan. thats the only difference.

btw anyone ever see that commercial where the old people are driving along and the wife in the pass. seat pulls out a steering wheel, and pretends to drive while they pass this guy, and as they pass she jerks the wheel to the right and he swerves off the road and crashes?

Hehehehe, yeah I remember that! Was an awesome ad. The granny's facials was a crack up.

I wish someone would import a LHD Honda into the country. I have NEVER seen one in real life before..
