does anyone have a list of materials/parts that someone would need to do a rhd conversion on a 5th gen prelude?

is it possible??

does anyone make a kit for it?

im just thinking out loud, wondering if it could be done, i think it would be a fun project

 

if you have to ask.....


no there is not a kit.

No.

Yes.

Yes, the kit is buying a welder, an angle grinder with some cut-off wheels, and a JDM firewall or front end.

 

You also have to take into account that IF you are good at welding and all of that you still might not have a structurally sound firewall. Most body shops will total a car if anything is wrong with the firewall after an accident because theres no way to garuntee a replacement or repair would be safe and the cost of something like that is more than more cars are worth. Youd probly be better off getting a prelude imported from somewhere. But then again with the right amount of money anything is possible.

 

this is just me, i could be wrong though, but you might need a rhd dash .

 

yes you can buy a half cut with every thing you need on it

 

where would i go to get a half cut? besides actually flying to japan and finding one

 

are u in arlington tx? there is a local guy who has a RHD he is on p.p and ntpog forums he did the firewall....prelude1897. You can buy clips anywhere even ebay

 

theres also a place in abiline tx thats called superior tradeing international (866 439 2079) my buddy bought a half cut with an h22, trans everything for $2300

 

seems to me like most of these people aren't giving you examples from THEIR OWN build. I am doing a 4th gen conversion now. it sucks. the car looks cool but with all the parts and wiring i've had to order from the UK it would have been cheaper and a whole lot faster to just import one from japan. plus you can't title it legally in many states (like the one i live in)

 

ya its alot of work but its worth it and the wiring snt bad if you buy the whole half cut all you have to wire is the windows door locks ect. just swap the harness and the dash, firewall is a little more complicated but if you know how to weld and have the tools its not that hard

 

and in tx its not hard to get the safety inpection done

 

yeah no $hit, ive never had a cat on any of my vehicles (total of 5) and never had a problem with an inspection go texas! lol

 

for anyone who wants to know

rimsandthings.com has the supplies to do it
