Icon3 RHD conversion Questions

i have a '94 EG with a b16a2 and i really want to convert it to a rhd vehicle, i've already found a fire wall and and sub frame for cheap, but i was told i may not even need the jdm rhd sub-frame, i just wanted to know if i did for a fact need that and also would the DC2 honda integra type R rhd dash fit in the eg? the people said it should but i don't want to risk it...i'm not made out of money here. and also what else am i going to need? i want this car to be RHD really bad so i'm ready to buy what i need to.

Paul

um, dash won't bolt in, you don't need the subframe, and the whole conversion, to do it right, is very very expensive. If you aren't made of money, I wouldn't embark on it because unexpected costs always arise.

if you want a rhd so bad, why not buy the real thing. I don't think they are all that great, but here in Canada, they are all over the place, come grab one. I "would not" waste your time/money swapping over, not worth it!!

Here's what they look like when they touch down from Japan, cost about 5-6 g's...no, i don't sell them!

I think you have miss conceptions about Canada!! Just like the US, some places are good, and some not. In the East snow and salt are bad, but not here in the West where i live.

Also, what does this have to do with the cars anyway, they are coming direct from Japan and most have never seen extreme weather!!

you would have to trailer the car back from canada and register it, you cant just drive one into america

you have to change the windows because there not dot
the taillights, corners have no reflectors, etc

One of my cars is a Celica, great car!

As far as being too bad........you know that one hidden back there is the 4WD Turbo....it's a badass ride, and a hell of a lot more rare than a Supra.

I think you guys are having trouble with the point im trying to put through.

I am in no way trying to put down the Celica in any way.

I was just stating that it was a Celica in the picture where someone said it was a Supra...

Thats why I say To bad it is a Celica... Apparently sarcasm is skipped and goes straight to hate.
