Question Right Hand Drive

Anyone know what's involved? Anyone who's done it? I think it would be the perfect way to top off my car when it's done.

It will cost you some much money. Everything has to be custom built if you want your interior to look like it does now, but right hand drive. The only 7thgen civic made right hand drive is the CTR. I think it would be a cool idea to get all the interior needed from a RSX type R and custom fit it all. you should be able to use the steering column from the CTR, cause it should fit better. With this though you will more than likely have to go with the EPS that is in the CTR(and SI) sense using the steering column.

I was roughly figuring $5-7.5k unless I can learn a-lot over the next year or 2 & figure out how to do fiberglass! I figure I'll just re-create the interior however I want that's the easy part! At that point the car won't be my primary so gutting it in the garage ain't gonna be a problem. It's all the mechanical stuff I need to piece together and keep alert for parts!

Soundlike it could'nt hurt to find a couple donors along the way..Maybe a Si & an RSX-R!

yeah..swap engines to for the hell of it!

Someone was selling the newer ITR engine + RHD components for like 3.5k or something of that sort in the for sale forums. It would pro'ly be cheaper than 7.5k to do RHD using that and as a bonus you could even swap your engine, think about it.

In fact, here it is. He's asking a little too much from what the responses say, but it's all up to him how much he can let it part for, and all up to you how much you'd like to offer. Anyway, I've done helped enough, latez.
