Re: RHD conversions
No one really cares much about RHD conversions except the owner of the car. and mailmen.
It won't help you get girls. Spend the money on making it faster.

Re: RHD conversions
i dont think its safe... but thats my opinion.
I drove an american car in England and it made it a lot more difficult to pass and see around corners and such... but hey whatever you want to do.
good luck!

yup a 240... its definitely a project car.
But it is more dangerous having a car that doesnt flow with the way traffic was designed to in that country.
To compare it on a large scale cause the Air Force was very concious about it.
On average those stationed in England ((aprox 15k)) 7 out of 10 who drove an american spec car experienced an accident while stationed in the Uk... while only 3-10 who drove a british spec vehicle((meaning driver on rightside)) experienced an accident while stationed in the Uk.
Now I know these are just stats and it could just be argued the better drivers were in the british spec vehicles but it is something to consider.
Besides all that extra cash for this project could be spent making your car different by makin it go fast... OMG a fast honda, now thats different.
-edit-
OH and I drove a ton of british vehicles in the UK.. it was easier to go with the flow of traffic, and shifting on that side came natural to me but I think that was because Im left handed.

i was just slightly interested in doing SOMETHING to set the car off to be different... because i want a "different, quick, honda" the "quick honda" part aint too expensive or hard.... but the "different honda" is quite an accomplishment.
sigh. what to do....
