RHD. But Not a EG or DC for once. 5G Prelude F20B+RHD.
Thats right. A fat *** Prelude.
Got her as a stock shell, threw in a motor and some quick wheels drove less than 1000 miles and let it sit while I decided what or IF I was going to do anything serious to it or not.
Been wanting to do RHD for while, but just never worked out, and never kept a car long enough. Also, I always wanted RHD on something that was not a DC or EG hatch. Even a EG coupe EX would have been great. I ONLY drive loaded Hondas. If it's a Civic, it an EX, ect. It must have all the gadgets. I figure the Prelude is luxury as I like it, and it's not a EG/DC.
I was told it would be REALLY hard to get a BB6 clip, so I considered getting rid of the car. But the FIRST call I made, they had one. I ordered it, to arrive at a local shop, that is doing the work. This is the clip:
LOL@ DC5R badge in glove compartment! It might be too big for the Lude judging by the pic tho...
I am also having the H22A4 swapped out for the F20B. Whatever torque is lost will be made up by the fact that there are no stupid FRM cylinders to deal with, and personally, I'll like the peakier engine that can rev higher.
Build notes:
The car is staying fully weighted. Nothing is being removed.
Power steering and Aircon will be intact.
I DONT care about the F20B less TQ.
The bay is NOT being shaved. It all serves a purpose, it stays.
No Honda upgrades. I am not buying a used S2K steering wheel, or RSX Wheels. ect. Aftermarket FTW.
RHD+F20B will not be the end. There is body+paint, suspension, wheels, and interior to address after it leaves shop 1.
I'll have pics when it's rolling with the conversion complete and F20B. Then later, after it's 100%

pm'd.
hmotors.
According to the shipper yesterday was the expected delivery date. but the actual delivery date isnt filled out. So either near end of business today or Monday I should see it, and should have my car in the shop on Monday.
During the time it's apart, I'm going to consider buying the set of silver Type S doors they have. I need to replace my right door anyway, and I'll need the RHD switches, and mirrors. Unless getting a right door, RHD interior panels, and RHD mirrors are less.
One thing about this "build" is that I'm not taking the little steps first. People normally start off with their strut tower bar, or window visor, or whatever. I want the big stuff out of the way FIRST. Then later on when the car only needs a few little bitty things, I can savor those last small purchases better knowing it's the end.
Thanks for all comments. Should have more pics Monday.
