Right Hand Drive Conversion....shop in Southern California?
I'm planning to do a right hand drive conversion on my prelude....Planning to weld on a jdm front clip...
I know that there are shops that do this type of frame welding to wrecked cars.
Does anyone know of any reputable shops in southern california that have done this type of frame welding, and have the proper frame machines and calibration machinery?
Thanx...

What a complete and utter waste of a good car and money. You are an idiot if you do this.
BTW, I dont know of any shops stupid enough to do that on a street driven car.

Kamin, Whats up with people on this board like you who swear they are the almighty automotive enthusiast Gods... If you can't answer the question, don't even post. Who are you calling riceboy and why are you trying to criticize a JDM conversion? What... is it too extreme if someone wants to convert their Integra to a JDM front end now too? You're speculating on "for what thats gonna cost...".. Well, do you even KNOW how much its going to cost?? No, I didn't think so. Stop running at your mouth, trying to sound like you know a lot when you don't. FYI, there are shops that do this to cars that have been wrecked. They just weld on front clips of cars that have been hit in the back. Keep your childish and uneducated comments to yourself if you don't have anything constructive to say. Peace.

I saw a front clip for a prelude with no motor for like $200 bucks on the http://www.recycler.com under right hand drive in parts. Check it out. If you need help finding a front let me know.

Re: Right Hand Drive Conversion....shop in Southern California? (turbochris)
I'm curious... what good is a front clip going to do you? Unless you're going to chop the front of your car off and weld it on....
As for the hostile responses... this site has traditionally been a technically minded one. For some reason, there has been an influx of "RHD conversion", "Sylvia motor in an Integra", "convert my civic to RWD" type crap lately. If you're into that, there are a handful of shops that can do that kind of wild stuff if you have the money. Bottom line, that's for the show scene, which this board is not about.
Do yourself, and this board a favor, and search out that information elsewhere.

So what is this board REALLY about? Bugging the **** out of people who ask a question that may not suit the holy HT gods? Or is it about helping out people with questions on their cars? I ask alot of tech questions including one about a gsr into vx swap. Two people helped me with what they knew. Someone posts about a RHD conversion and 20 people jump his ****. So why do you really get on the computer every night? To argue with everyone and try to prove how bad you are typing keys? Well if it makes you feel more like a man then good for you. Chances are though when you call someone a idiot in person for asking a stupid question, you'll be picking up your teeth off the street.
BTW These cars do not belong here!!!!

Since when do you tell people what they can or cannot post? He asked a simple question. Either help him out and post some useful information or **** off.

What the **** is your problem, we gave an opinion, something we as H-T members have a right to do. I answered his question and told him I thought he was an idiot for doing it. I dont want to be driving down the road next to a car that has been cut in half and then put back together.
Kamin and everyone else has been here longer than you have so dont act like a bitch, I meet you in person, I would say the same **** to you.

You obviously have nothing productive to say so don't say it at all.
If you don't like riding next to a car that has been cut in half then don't leave the house because there are thousands of cars on the road rebuilt that way every year.
So what you've been here longer. Get a life and leave the computer desk once in a while and quit bitching on the computer. Maybe you'll be a better person someday and maybe those blisters on your hand will heal up.

ok maybe he wanted to do it? why do you guys do some of the **** to your cars? why do some of you so called jdm ***** pay 150 bucks for corner lights and then call **** on this guy because he wants to convert his car to rhd? don't give him **** and say "i'm trying to save you money" blah blah blah. anyone ever think that he has the money at his disposal? ****, some of you guys are ******* dumbasses. all you want is what you cant have.
wiked, im or email me if you want info on how to do it. we might do this to my car (and for all you ***** who say it would cost a lot, it would actually be free so shut up) if i dont decide to import and register a car (yes, i can do this, no dont ask me if i can do it for you). but anyways, i'll let you know what you have to do and all.
maybe try helping a guy out instead of thinking you're the ****. some people have money and can do things unlike some of you cheap lowballing *****.
ps. if this doesn't apply to you, then you shouldn't get mad.
