im speechless...before the "conversion", the car was undamaged, was not involved in any accident, clear titled and in perfect stock condition? wow, i dont know...i have some misgivings about hacking up a perfectly fine running physically fit itr to do a "nip tuck" transformation. i understand the facelift, but the work and effort involved in doing what you did just to drive on the otherside is beyond my comprehension. this is not even taking into consideration what a job like this does to an R's value.
are the "WOW" and "RHD!" factors that far ahead that we now placate to the extreme and do the irreversible to impress the "jdm only" show crowds?? damn, that itr was ALREADY BEAUTIFUL in the first two pics you posted before doing the rhd conv...if it was up to me, i would have just bought a genuine jdm rhd R or a shell. im sorry if i upset a few by being this honest but, hey, it is your car ultimately. welcome to honda-tech.

bringin a project like that onto honda tech is sure gunna stir a few ppls emotions.....honestly i think u did a very goood job and it def toook alot of time. on the other hand i think it wouldve been more practical to just import a real one here.
You must have had your mind set.
Lots of work involved and that, I can absolutely appreciate.
That's dedication of work and stuff like that even though a perfectly fine R didn't need to have something done to it, but I'm sure you plan on keeping it for a VERY VERY long time.

its such a sillly conversion really. i mean for the money spent, you might as well have a imported a real itr for track use.
Then again im sure the original poster wouldnt be interested in that sort of thing...=/

definatly,
for all the hardwork hard work! Car looks good but all the work just to look at like a stock JDM R. Trait of the USDM R is the rarirty in stock form and not looks but rather handling.
its just not my cup of tea, personally RHD cars in LHD streets are nothing but stupid unless it serves a purpose (ie. garbage/postal/delivery) I passed up few nice RHD Nissans/mazdas for some excellent pricing, couldn't get used to sitting on the wrong side and whole shifting.
