anyone know where i can get a right hand drive CRX sand deigo califonia

 

I think there's one on ebay, a real jap sir. It's up in sacramento though.

 

if u want one that bad.....try a local importer.....he'll get you the whole car

 

maybe motorex can find a way of importin one

 

I don't think that you will be able to drive it on the street. You could DRag it or even better Road Race it.

 

why u say that??

Right hand drive cars arent ilegal to drive in USA

look at UPS, USPS, and all sort of other cars... like even driving schools....

they arent ilegal.. the biggest issue u might find its emissions

theres even a Skyline about 1 hrs from me and its all good.... jsut had to replace some stupid stuff like headlights

Yes, RHD Honda are illegal to drive on public roads in the US.

 

a rhd is perfectly legal in the us, honda or wtvr doesnt matter. alot of exotic cars are rhd. theres a saturn in my auto class thats rhd, just would have to register it and its all good. the only hard part would be drivethrus, haha

 

for all of you who think you can import a honda, or any foreign car, register it...and drive it in the us...you're a rookie, do your research. if you want to import a car, you first have to get it to pass the CARB emission w/ OBD equipment (if available) used for that year. other than that, you have to do crash testing for that car as well (us has the 5 mph bumper standards, whereas japan, for example does not. this is why they dont have the front crossmember, and often have lighter rear bumpers when compared to their american counterparts.) There are a few companies that will import and do this for you, but it is a very lenghty and time consuming process...on top of that, very expensive. there was a itr(dc5r)/ctr(ep3) importer that i was checking out a while ago...they were selling the two r's for around 35k. Usually most places charge between 10-15k for shipping and legalizing. But if you're just looking to get RHD, get a front clip.

A little info for you non informed stunnas/newbies out there.

All these posts like this may be correct for the state you are in, but all states have different laws and that is the bottem line with the legallity of RHD cars.

I know Oregon laws... thats it, all you have to do here is take the car to DMV and they look at the foreign VIN tag. They then issue you a new VIN number. The only problem with this is DMV will only look at the car if you can find and Insurance company to cover you. The alternative to this is Show/Collectable Car Tags. These are easy to aquire from the DMV but you have to limit the milage you put on the car, and yes, they do check often.

Now all we need is 49 other knowledgeable people to post and we are set.

 

No he is correct, RHD Honda's are Fedurally Illegal. That means all of them everywhere. There is a list of cars that is allowed in the US that can Legally be registered and driven on US roads. No where on that list is a RHD honda. I know somone now is going to say how their close friend has one and they did this and that and all that BS, but I dont give a ****, the car is still fedurally illegal. Yes, ppl can still import them over and use them as parts car or race cars for track use, or even for a show car. But why go through all that hassle just to have a RHD car that is going to cause you more hassle in the long run?

I'm just sayin what the head honcho at the DMV told me. I do not have any friends with RHD cars but I have been told personally by the guys that would register your car that you can do it perfectly legally. Also any car can be registered as a rural mail delivery vehicle.

You also have to remember the grandfather clause that would apply to all older cars. You can register any car over a certain age and drive it just like any new car. This wouldn't be too useful for Hondas right now but people wanting older cars such as Minis and Datsuns would benefit from this.

I'll believe the Federal list story when I see some proof on that. I'm just trying to say, check local laws with DMV and courts because they are the ones you will have to answer to if you screw up and buy a car you cannot drive in the US.

 

Alright I was interested enough to look into this list. There is one but not as you described.

All eligibility numbers are for left-hand drive motor vehicles except where right-hand drive (RHD) is identified after the model. While there is no specific restriction on importing a right-hand drive vehicle, an eligibility number based on a substantially similar U.S.- certified motor vehicle may not apply.</TD></TR></TABLE>

The list at the bottem is not an end all list for things excluded, it is a list of easily importable cars. Licensed importers are able to add to it.

 

Yep you found the list and yes I know cars can be added. Just so far no one has done or payed the kind of money it takes to be on that list with any RHD hondas.

You can insurance through your life insurance, bond it to you. Another word if you hit somebody, the coverage will be on yourself only. But you pay your car damage and theirs if its you fault.

If you own a like a small time dealership , you can have it as a demo car but still able to drive it.

As far as that list goes, I actually went to some length in finding out if it accurate. Because, there a few exotic European cars here in Sarasota that does not fall in this list. No.....there are certain criteria that you can still have one, but again, it comes down to how you can around it. There are ways to obtain one but it such a time consuming process.

A good friend of mine, whom is actually a Sheriff deputy , begain to look into this. The reason he wonder because he pull over a RHD car just to see if it was illegal, but came out to be okay. According to him, whom did alot of researchn and asking alot of question, IT IS POSSIBLE....PERIOD. Just have to know what to do to make it work. If it was illegal, he would not have gone this far. Plus his job on the line, why bother? Right?

Whats inpossible is to find a good importer that will keep his end of the bargain. However, I already found one who is Japan right now but lives here in Tampa that I'm working with him to see what kind of $$$.

 

Poke around on the link I posted, there is a list of registered importers with contact numbers.

 

It's hard to reg. a rhd, It took me 1 year before i got it reg. iI had to do all kinda ish. if i had to do it again, "NO" would be the answer, to much drama.
