I have mixed feelings on this car.

Pro's:
- lot of decent work went into the car
- tastefully clean engine bay and swap

Cons:
- rhd conversion- why? Is this a race car only, or DD?
- some parts look cheap- steering wheel, headlights, rear bumper

So what are the intentions with the project?

he swapped firewalls, had a front clip that he took the RHD firewall out of, took his firewall out and swapped them along with all the suspension and steering assembly from the SIR clip.

RHD is an awesome thing, dont knock it til youve driven or riden in one. my roommate had one of the first RHD conversion Crx's made. some of you might know the car, its been around a lot this past decade.





im diggin the valve cover, and some of the stuff youve done, some of the things i think need to be cleaned up, but its not my car, i am just a fan of stock with a drop and rims

Yeah, because you can hit 200+ MPH in a Civic with a stock Type-R motor, right? Freakin ricer tards in here man.

Lots of useless mods on this car, but hey, it's your money man.

Yippe skippy...i "have" tried it, and i am knocking it!!! I've imported cars for years, probably before you even started driving. It's one thing to import a rhd car, buy it cheap and use it as inexpensive and unique transportation, it another thing to ruin a perfectly good lhd drive, rip it all apart just to swap it over....it's not even worth it! Especially if you don't plan to run the car on the road. If you look at the very last engine picture posted, it looks super clean because first, it's not done, or running, and second, it appears that the cars won't be used as a normal car on the street....no air filter, no wipers ect
The thing i'm surprised about i guess, is that for that type of build, why not just buy a rhd to begin with? RHD are cheap, come grab one, it's NOT worth the swap!
