i will send you an email and walk you through it.

 

i sent you an email, what ever you do, dont touch the dash vin. you may not be able to get it restamped if you take it off. the blue one is the stamp for the rhd.

 

Great info

 

I took my VIN# off my dash and now just have it sitting in my glove box. I still have the VIN# under the hood and in the door in case if cops try to bust my ***** about it as well as having insurance. That's 4 things of proof showing that the car is legit. Oh, and I've pulled up beside a few cops at stop lights, and all they do is kind of look at me strange. I even had 1 ask me where I got it from.

 

Thanks Bridgeport for the 411. Do you recommend taking the vehicle to the VIN Office prior to doing the conversion so he can inspect the car. Kinda Like before and after type of deal. Would that make it easier to get it BLUE Stamped?

Thanks again

 

that is exactly what needs to be done.

 

what should i expect to pay at a shop? ive been quoted at 2200, but i remeber talking to some guys saying they did the whole swap including dash for around a grand....

bridgeport- ill send u an email later tonight or tomorrow with some quesitons

 

it all depends on what you get. usually people that do rhd conversion do not let you see the entire process and they do not do solid welds not to mention they will not take it to the chp for you and get it verified. I do rhd's only as a hobby. For the conversions i have done i encourge the owner to be present and see what he pays for, i take care of everything even the chp.
depending on the car the you should expect to pay $2300.00 minimum but for this money it should have a painted engine bay,engine runing, and stamped...

 

now whats the deal with inspecting and registering the car afterward? ive hear people say you need to register the car as a "show car" ...whats the deal with that?

bridgport- where would you sugest buying a clip? i looked at some of the websites posted before but they didnt show any rhd clips for sale

 

i get all my clips at hmotorsonline.com
these clips are in really good condition for the most part and usually come with carpet and entire wiring.if you want the cluster it's extra but if do not get it they cut the harness. I sugest you get it, you have to redo the wiring later and the time you spend wiring is almost equal in timed labor. you do not have to register it as a show car if it done right. simple as that. it is pointlless if you have an rhd car and cant drive it when ever you feel like it, but that's what i feel. I have the cars inspected and when it is stamped the paper work says it was vin verified for rhd conversion.
If you buy anything from Hmotors tell steve jaime sent you.

 

Swap the vins. its the same car..just different firewalls hehe

 

can u send me emaill too...about to do a rhd conversion on an EG....donnt wanna mess up vin..just give me all info and tips please...thanks man..

I never took my car to the DPS for inspection, I just simply took my insurance and title and *BAM* nice new sticker. I'm actually building another RHD Prelude, and will be doing the same thing. I just picked up my front clip from Hmotors this time, and I'm definitely impressed with their packing skills. I highly recommend them for clips

 

if i have a front clip, with everything, motor, tranny, ecu, firewall, dash cluster... where can i take a shell and clip to have installed? i need a place close to ny or atleast near.

 

beyond googling, you may actually want to start your own thread.. this one is long dead

maybe in the appearance section.. idk. good luck.

 

Should ask around local tuner shops or guys at car meets/shows if you were in TX, I could help out
