Default right hand drive?

hey. i have had a bunch of opportunities to get a front clip minus the motor...... or just accessories to make my 94 lude right hand drive. i really want to do it but i have heard that it is a pain in the ass.

what all is involved and what are all the pieces i will need to complete the conversion...?

naw... i mean, i have this guy trying to sell me a jdm dash board, steering wheel, steering column, and gauges. if i just took off the pedals on the left side, had the holes welded and switched to the right side, install the pedals there, and then install all the jdm interior parts is that all i would need to do?

it is more than just switching the pedals you have to get the whole steering column and switch it to the other side a different kind of cv axle

let alone all the hassle you are going to get into with things in the way of the new steering column

and you make it sound like all the interior panals are going to match right up trust me it WON'T match up just like that

how would it be "gay"?.... i really dont understand that. you must not be a JDM enthusiast.

look, i am going all JDM with my car. well, as much as possible and a right hand drive conversion is not to popular and it would help get that "jdm" feel to my car.

everyone has their opinions... like i hate ricers....but that is their thing i guess. some people like chrome and APC products... i like JDM. i would just buy a right hand drive prelude but i dont really have access to do that or the money to. plus i think it would be cool and interesting to be drivin on the right side of the car.......

dude, if you got the money and patience. go for it. expect a lot of down time though. i think you should do it, you don't see RHD around all the time ya know, would def be unique.
