ok guys, i need your help...i bought an ef9 front clip, and i need advice...who would convert your car to RHD by cutting out the firewall and welding the ef9 firewall in? this is a life or death question for me, so i need your advice, thanx a mil...

GaBe

 

Check any local bodyshop...I'm sure they can or at least know who can...this is HT and not Earl Scheib.

 

well i called a local fabrication shop..and he told me he can do it, he just has to look at my car for a quote....but do you think such a project would jeopardize the structural integrity of my car? i dunno, but i wanna be the first RHD car in my city...muahahaha!!! so, keep the advice coming: would you all do something like this?

 

if the money is there go for it

 

the money is there...i'm thinkin fock it...it'll be badass...plus the fact that my car will now have a b16 instead of a zc...thanx to you buys for your replies...keep em coming homies!!

 

Or you can contact Gump on this board and buy his genuine EF SiR RHD in Red...He was selling it for $8000 last time he posted...If you want to be the first, then this is your chance to be the first and the best in your town...

 

I think the mail men have you beat.

ok dude...i got a loan for the damn clip...i'm not gonna be able to buy a ef9 for 8 grand...although i'd love too....oh well my car will still have RHD!! muahahaha!! thanx for the reply though

 

LOL

 

dude, there's nothing special about RHD cars, trust me, i've been driving them for years

 

except that it's more difficult when you also drive on the RIGHT-hand side of the road. No more drive thru's for you, unless you have a passenger, or find one of those places that have a window on both sides of the building. Also left turns and passing on 2-lane roads can become extremely dangerous since you won't be able to see oncoming traffic. Better be careful, because if you pull out in front of a car coming the other way, it's going to hit you on YOUR side of the car (right side).

Don't get me wrong, I would love to drive a RHD car someday, just to try it, to try shifting w/ my left hand, etc. I think it would be kind of entertaining as I got used to it. And any Skyline GT-R or Civic Type R, sure I would own one in a second if I had the money, but converting a car to RHD just for the novely of it is kind of in my opinion.

**** that. i need my late night jack in the box. haha

 

I've often thought the same about trying to drive a LHD car someday.. although I wouldn't be able to trust myself steering a car with my left hand.. let alone race with it, that'd be some scary ****!

 

But like you said, you would love to drive a LHD car. Just as all of us here in America would love to drive a RHD car. But it is dangerous.

how gay? sorry well we see LHD cars all day, it is special here... big thumbs to anyone who wants to do there own RHD. I am search for some info on the RHD clip weld up project too... If tiiiiiiteeee boys/ FF squad still had the archived pages i tihink they had pics and some info n the bronze RHD drive that one of them welded up. It's the one featured in the tight *** TMR magazines and the one for sale on JDM hondaparts.com)

if anyone has pics please post em or get an addy for the site

 

i saw a prelude lastnight at del taco.. sitting in the parking lot, i saw a guy sitting on the passenger side eating.. no driver though..so we pull around..and i notice, hey the steering wheel is on the passenger side....

i was wondering whats so cool about RHD..and i couldnt come up with any answers..

 

whats so cool about being rhd

 

YEAH! Just buy my car , although the price has gone up due to some new suspension (Ohlins), I drive both a LHD and RHD car, only took about an hour to get used to driving a RHD for me, the only problem I have is when I switch cars, I've gotten in the right side of my LHD car a few times, but you get a good laugh whenever it happens though.

hehe lol

 

why in the hell would you waste money on something like this? I'm thinking it would cost a thousand or 2 just to get RHD. there is a reason why we have LHD here in the US, its because we drive on the right side of the road so we can see oncoming traffic when turning left, also because we're the best nation in the world. Don't waste your money rice boy, buy a JDM spec car if you really want RHD

 

People do what they want to do. If it is their style, than let it be there syle. Here you are talking about the best nation in the world, and you're flaming on other people's choices. Who gives a crap. If you want a RHD and you have the money to do it, than go right ahead and do it.

RICEBOY?? who the hell r u to be calling me a rice boy? ****, my style is JDM, and if i wanna do RHD simply for the emulation of japanese tuning, that makes me a Riceboy? ****...if u've got matrix and apc **** on yo car, u da motherfockin riceboy...fockin punk.....n e ways, Chrisir19, that RHD crx is a welded up half cut...as in he cut his own car to weld in the JDM half cut...not too structurally safe, but i plan to go the firewall route, even though i'm gonna have to use hasport mounts for the engine...but this should be alot safer and easier..and if anyone wants to sell me a true JDM car for the amount that i'm gonna do my conversion for, let me know...i'll cash u out right now!!!!

 

Riceboy isnt classified by what parts you have on your car.
Riceboy is defined by the execution of how you carry out your car.

But riceboy doesnt exist in my vocabulary. Either your car sucks ***** or its nice.

If your gonna cut your car in half just to have bragging rights to be the first in eL Paso to have RHD... Then you go figure that one out on your own what you are.

 

JDM isnt a style

 

Its not a technique like the tiger claw either
