That's really interesting but, Is it street legal to have a right hand steering wheel car? and What's the difference between getting a civic from Japan and one where you live.

um, that civics got all wheel disc brakes, better interior, and a b16 in it with 170hp.. good motor to sell..plus its right hand drive, and yes its legal.. just have problems passing emissions but i'd have problems either way.. and why right hand drive? why would sumone paint their interior, or put side graphics or a big wing on their car.. and rims for that matter, to be different.. thats the ultimate jdm style DIFFERENT anyone has ever seen around here.. i was expecting praise but.. whatever

f0de,

I'm happy you got another set of wheels to tinker with. Hurry up and get that saki machine on the streets and give us some times of your runs.

hey im not bustin your nuts... except for the right hand drive you can do all that stuff yourself... put some discs on the back... get some SI or type R seats... you can make it more personalized that way... but each to his own... i'd just think that it'd be cheaper to buy an american civic and do all YOUR OWN stuff to it. its cool that you got another honda though.. i love these 4 bangers that keep up with much faster, higher displacement cars.

an H22 powered EG9 4dr. someone has been losing his mental bolts on the way home jfwy

i think that car is tits.. how much did you pay for it ? i'd be happy with one just like that.. without the H22 swap.. but that makes it more intriguing.

well......... have fun at it....... and dont put the b16 back in for any weekend drives

f0de,

how serious are you about letting MobileWestOnline.com sponsor you? i am serious. im talking everything you put into that car! im talking using our shop and our machine shop. you let us do the body, suspension, stereo, and interior, you spend all of your time on the horses. it gets done quicker, and we each specialize in our better areas. email me if you seriously want to talk. and by the way, i need $10 from you for the NEPA show we are running on July 6th.

yah i'm thinking spoons myself.. that whole right/left hand shifting thing is going to be a change.. but i'll get used to it i assume.. registering it is looking to be a pain but i'll get around/through it.. thanks for everyones positive feedback, some ppl just called me nuts for doing it.. but i thought it was badass.. as most of you guys do

good job on the decision. Good deal on the price. Have you checked on registering it yet? I don't know if it's gonna be as easy as you think. You'll probally need to find tag numbers off a wrecked civic and switch them.

I love the uniqueness of that car. Probs on the choice. I think that registering it is going to be hard though. Just tell them that you are a mailman! HA ha. YFWA.
