i read plenty of articles about people who have done the right hand drive conversion on there cars. i am wondering how hard and expensive would it be to do this conversion. any info would be great thanks.

 

try searching...its pretty hard id assume. dashboard, pedal assemblys, steering ****, cluch cylinders etc. why do the conversion anyway? its like a sex change...you still arent a real RHD

 

JUST IMPORT A DC FROM JAPAN!!

 

You live in America, all banks and fast food are on the left

 

i do belive its in this months issue of superstreet a guy on here did it to his teg , he did right hand drive conversion, itr motor, and front end, and the figure of 25k was mentioned he also post on here i think , cuz it said thanks to honda- tech guys for all the help.. if you want to read what it said its the issue with the blue civic on it

The green one ya? That was one clean *** car.

 

My homeboy is doing one right now on his DC... He hasn't incurred much expense at all, however, he is doing his from start to finish in his garage... He bought a DC front clip w/o motor, and used the firewall, and all the stuff from the RHD clip... He's almost done, i'm sure he'll post it when he finishes...

Carlos, since you're only 4 hours away from L.A. I would suggest looking in recycler.com. There is a company that sells full front clips without the engine for about 400-500 bucks. That includes the pedals, dash, rack/pinion/steering column, and door panels.
The swap would entail removing your engine and entire firewall and welding on the RHD firewall and it's componants. Or I guess you could just use your own fire wall and make the cuts for pedals, master cylinder, etc.
If you can weld and are handy with tools, I can see this conversion easily being done for under a grand. I was seriously considering doing this conversion till I realized that the one thing that would really be a bitch would be the hard lines. You would most likely have to custom bend you own hard lines to all four corners. Yuck, I pass on that.

 

thanks for the info everyone.

 

im always on recycler looking for parts,,,,,can you tell me what company sells these front clips because ive never seen it before,,,,,,im traying to convert my crx,,,,,,,id appreciate it thanks!

 

I would seriously NOT consider slicing your a-pillar and welding a new clip on. I know its done, but if you dont know what your doing, your at major risk because your support wont be that strong, my .02

 

just buy my other authentic rhd dc2. its a championship white sir-g with a bunch of little type r stuff. 9500 firm.

I havent the slightest idea. I remember they were located in O.C, but that's all I know. Just keep you eye out and check em' out.

 

Everything maybe on the left for you guys, but in california, we have "In N Outs" and they serve food on the right when you go in the other lane! lol

my cousin did a rhd conversion with the jdm front clip, i helped him it wasn't that hard. i know the guy with the green teg, its clean. mine is going to be coming out soon

 

check out hmotorsonline.com. they'll sell you the whole front clip with motor from dash forward.

 

Isn't it illegal to have a right hand driver car here?
