JDM DEl sol
Well in july i purchased a 92 crx del sol. It is equiped with the transtop which the best honda feature ever. The car is all stock exept for 15" sparco wheels and momo steering wheels. 70*** original km's. It runs good end everything but becuase it sat so long in japan the a lot of the rubber parts are starting to go on me. I need new cv boots and I blew a rear brake seal. I have a seal kit for the rear brake on order. Is this easy to fix or what. Here are some pics of my baby. Her name is deliha.

Re: JDM DEl sol (AE_Racer)
In canada you just need an out of province inspection and the vehicle has to be 15 years lod(just changed to 25 by the way...Gay) and thst it. There are so many skylines and 180sx's in canada, thats why I opted for the del sol becuase there are only 3 like mine that i no of in canada. And a left hand conversion would be gay. Right hand is so much better. it feels liek im in a race car. I can baley drive left hand any more.

w3rd.
And lower the damn thing.
(You wont be able to go through drive throughs, ATM's, Post office, or anything that's supposed to be convenient for Normal north american cars.)
But to each their own, some thins will be easier, and it will set you apart having an authentic rhd civic.

I couldn't. In the event the person inside is willing to lean in to hand me my food, I'm very likely to spill the drink all over the passenger seat.
I'm short and therefore have short arms. I can reach across the car if I need to, but why would I want my car to be uncomfortable during normal use?
My LHD comment earlier was just a joke, but I couldn't see wanting my car to be RHD unless there was no other option (that is, unless the car does not come available as LHD).

See, meanwhile, that wouldn't work for all of us.
Whenever I'm free to go to the bank (and/or need to go to the bank), the bank is usually closed. So the drive through ATM is often my only choice.
Fast food is usually only something I get while I'm on my half hour lunch break. Going in and waiting in line takes even more time. I usually only get enough time on lunch to battle through traffic, get my food, get back and set my food down before I have to go back to work. I'll end up eating whenever I get a chance to walk into the break room between customers.
Either way though, it does cause some loss of convenience, even if it just involves leaning over.
Having a JDM car, which came RHD and has options that our USDM cars didn't have (such as engines and items such as the difficult to convert Transtop) is understandable. I'm not so sure about the people who take USDM LHD daily drivers and chop them up to be RHD though.
