Good luck with the conversion, as for the blue dash you can simply use interior trim paint to paint it black so it matches the rest of your other interior pieces. Just make sure you use an adhesion promoter and paint that remains flexible ment for interior plastics.

Have always loved your S, cant wait to see the car next summer, sure you will do a great job with it.

Where did you buy the clip from?

found it on craigslist of all places. I was thinking about having one shipped in, until I found one, a steal for $500 with cluster, honda access floormats, radiator etc. The guys I got it from had put the F20c in a 1950 MGB , **** was nuts haha.

yeah this will be my 4th Right hand drive, ive had a real eg6 and a couple conversions, which even the civic turned heads, I cant wait to be driving on the wrong side in the s2k. I have a rhd integra that ive done, and my buddy has 5 or 6 right hand drive conversions under his belt, we plan on doing everything perfect and taking a lot of pictures, dont want to do a hack job on a 10k dollar car...

the closest project I can find online is the guy who did a RHD conversion on his NSX.. I know a few s2000s have been converted but there are no pics online anywhere

wow, so you go through all that hassle, just to have the steering wheel on the most difficult side to drive from???

crazy - i used to have a LHD drive vette in the UK - would have converted it to RHD in a heartbeat. Never for one minute thought i was 'cool' cos my steering wheel was on the wrong side.

Go you though - keeps the economy going. or something..

really sucks about the dash color. some time ago I wanted to do RHD to mt EJ1, and found a clip for $200 local, but the dash was gray, and mine was black. they sell rhd dashes for pennies, then want like $500 shipping.

Good luck on doing a RHD thats not a EG, DC, DA, or EF. We dont get many else.

Its a cool project, but driving on the right side as its share of issues. Drive threw in reverse, passing on a two way street, ect.

Yes it will be original, but worth it?

Anyways I respect his project and wish him good luck!
