Way to broad a question ! google "how to buy/look for a 2nd hand car" btw RHD is no fun for a DD i drove my friends RHD rx7 felt so weird ! switched seats after 15 mins. insurance will most likley be x2 the cost of a normal car btw. i'd aviod a rhd doesn't seem like you'r to familler with cars.

if it's coming to the united states legalities would be one. as far as i know all the jdm integras are federally illegal. some get state registered but your car could be seized at any moment if the government decides to. has happened to skyline owners

the sir-g is just a jdm gsr

with any 90s honda always do a compression test. most of the beat to hell cars have low or uneven or both when it comes to the readings

if you have to ask, you haven't done homework on the basics.. which means this is going to be a mess.

To add on the insurance statement, you won't have full coverage. Only thirdparty

Since parts for RHD are expensive and time consuming due to that they will have to be ordered overseas. Transport Canada has a minor section on their site about buying/insuring RHD.

Also where in Canada are you? Usually LHD hondas (esp GSRs, or any integra) will be cheap.
Probably the only RHD FWD honda I would go for would be a complete minty ITR. But other that I would just go buy a normal LHD honda IMHO
