So, my first car was a 94 CX Hatch. Sold it and bought me a 92 DX and a 93 Si Hatch. I've alway loved hatces for some reason but i alway see peolpe doing the same crap to the. Like the Lip, tilted Exhaust, duckbill, etc..

But i really dont see too many RHD EG Hatches. So i was thinking bout buying a complete jdm front clip and doing it. Got friends the can help by welding everything properly, and i need to rebuilt my motor anymore cause i fuc*ed up the piston rings. The motor will be out the way anyways. :D

idk i dont see the point of right hand drive. it looks the same....if it made the car faster or something it would be different. i think if the car was actually originally rhd i guess that would be cool but converting it just seems like more work than its worth.

Do it do it do it.

To me, RHD sets you apart from every one else. Everyone may jock your rims, lips, interior, bla bla, but they won't have their steering wheel on the other side.

Good luck with the build if you decide to go with that route.

Thanx guys. now i really want to do it even more. I've seen complete front clips that include the B16 with LSD tranny, dash, hood, fenders,etc.. for $2600 including shipping. but all i need the the body so ima get one of my buddys to buy the motor and ill keep the rest.

Converting a car to RHD is gay.

be honest it looks good? how much better does rhd look than than left hand drive? it looks the same, its just considered "JDM", rare, different, and yea you get the stunt factor but dont say it looks better. now im not saying hes stupid for doing it and that he shoudlnt do it i just dont see the point of coverting it...it is your car so do what you want to it weather i like it or not.

it will cost a lot of money and if your off by 1mm the whol frame is done. and secondly it is a pain in the ass. And last i believe if insurance finds out they total the car out and give u a rebuilt title

I never got why people convert to rhd, its kind of ricey if you ask me.

Yea its different but I don't think its worth it, especially if the insurance thing is true, you might want to find out first. It would suck if you get in a fender bender and they end up screwing you over.
