whats up guys after much consideration i am looking into converting to right hand drive..........i have found a front clip with motor tranny full dash and all that. WHat im wondering is how much do u think it would cost me to pay a shop to actually do the work??? also does anyone know a shop around Georgia that does this kind of stuff?

thanks

 

why do you want rhd?

 

good question

 

probably around 5 grand.

 

damn, and we went SO long without a post like this. dude how the hell are you going to go throught the drive thru? ALSO converting your car to rhd will make it less structurly stable i.e. bad vibrations (so ive heard) well each to his own.. by the way will you deliver my mail?

yeah there is really no point in doing htis unless its going to be some kind of show car, and even then it wouldnt be actual JDM.... do what you want though

 

lol i know a tacobell here.. we call it jdm tacobell because the drivethrough is on the wrongside!!! u have to reach over ur passenger side to get food and ****.. its kinda anoying i never acually ran through its drive-thru.

lol rhd .. lol its not as much WOW factory as it was before.. but hey do what u want and can afford.

Wow, all that flaming and one helpful answer. Can't you guys just answer his question?

Anyway, $5K is about the low end of the spectrum. Depending on the quality of the work, it can go anywhere from $5K to about $10K+. Just think about how much body work runs. You're basically replacing the ENTIRE front end AND making all the electronics/mechanical things work.

 

i don't know how expensive it is in (where ever your from) but in sac. there's a guy that is very good at body work , ive seen his work and he said it was about 3k- to 6K to do a good job , i don't think that includes paint . but maybe you can deliver my mail to - all tip ya - jdm tocobell kewl

 

the reason i want to do this is just for a project car.......im not looking to go for a turbo or any kinda of speed its just a thing that i really think has an awsome look and would like to turn my integra into this kind of project for me. I have another dependable car and i alos have a bike so its not like this is my only car. Does anyone have a link where i can go look at exactly what its gonna take labor wise to do this.........i can get the front clip with motor tranny full RHD dash and all for 2200 that comes with a bumper the 1 pc headlights and the fenders..........i wasnt planning on just welding that clip to my car i was actually gonnna rip my dash out put the RHD dash in and then pull my motor and convert everything over..........and i do appreciate all the helpful post and then all the flaming was actually pretty funny

thanks for all the info.

 

If i were to import a car.......what am i looking at goin through can i actually import the car and then just go pick it up from the dock and TRAILOR it home? i know i cant drive it but can i trailor it and then work on it at my house untill i can get it up to US Specs?

 

this place does a good job.

is that place a shop or just a company to order stuff from?

 

Here goes.....
If you have an integra then you don't have to buy the whole thing. I don't know how much knowledge you have in doing things. I myself have done one. I just had the clip replaced. You cann't just replace the dash. The steering rack, brake booster, brake master cyclinder and some other things are on the opposite side. I paid 1000.00 to have my body work done, but I used my old fenders, hood and other stuff. There is alot to consider. The windshield wippers are opposite and the piece the sit in are opposite.

I only did mind to sell and make a few dollars. If your interested in some kind of trade. Let me know. I have kind of lost interest and have three other projects. I have a built b20/vtec with gsr tranny and itr lsd to go in it also.

Also have an extra front clip. Let me know.

 

ya to do all that you , first of hand , the fire wall is different so in some way or other you have to cut your car

to me, its not a project if your paying someone to do the work for you

 

i have JDM floormats haha that I got from an ebay auction, dind't see that they were JDM so I could sell them to you if you want. Right now I'm uysing them and htey are all crumpled up cuz the gas opener isn't fitting

 

How are you going to pay tolls?

How are you going to pay through the drive though?

</TD></TR></TABLE>

getting out the car and putting the money on the machine or just get a toll card

i only have seen an integra rhd in texas and haven't race him yet but it was the coolest thing ever the best way to do it get a front clip with the motor in it and weld it to your rear end teg and just wire all your lights
