Ofcourse I would never get rid of my TL for that sorry, rather build something like that on the side, I already got a play toy which is a 92 classic SE-R, with some spray . It's more fun to whoop ass in a sleeper, the look on peoples faces is priceless.

P.S. The se-r whoops my TL by about 3 cars WITHOUT the n2o!!

it woulda been sicker if it was a real JDM integra, and not a US one that they just swapped a few things

definately needs some work, that front bumper is hopefully you got some cash out of the trade so you can clean that integra up.....im feelin type R white w/ black rims, dumped 3 inches

I dont see the big deal about RHD.

Unless it was a real JDM car that was imported over.. then thats cool.

Should have done this instead. I don't see a reason why anyone would trade a TL for a non-type R integra, RHD or not.

I was kind of hoping (for his sake) that it was a 2.5TL.....I might have been able to rationalize the trade better.

Check to see if the car is welded from the middle forward



I haven't seen many RHD cars that weren't brought over from Jap Land. Nothing is great other then the pimp factor of it being an imported car w/ RHD



W/ all that said, I don't see how going from a TL to this is really a big decline, not like a 2001TL is worth a bunch or anything really special

Why import that when you can import other cars that we dont have.

Seems silly. Like putting Honda badges on Acuras.

Yep, there is this guy around my way who spent 15k to import a RHD Silvia and it took it a year to get here. It's worth it though, it is a hot car. It was featured in a magazine over the summer but don't remember which one.

it is not a jdm spec integra, it has ben converted and who came up with the idea that i traded the TL for this?! i sold the TL and bought this, i have cash left over too, the car drives great and seriously if you need a car to pick up ladies your definatley doing something wrong. Even though i have had a few girls ask me to go for a ride in it, anyways thank you CLpower for realizing what im doing here, im still young and the TL was starting to bore the shit out of me, the transmission was going i was nearing 100k engine started making some noises so i got rid of it, i still have my system, the TVs have been long gone, the TL was pretty much stock when i got rid of it, the KBB wasnt much higher than 13.5k on the car, i saw this and thought of how fun of a project car it would be for the summer i know it needs work but thats the fun part, before the TL i built hondas and acuras, so i got back into it and i have a 97 civic hx as a daily driver, so this thing isnt on the roads everyday, you guys got any more questions just ask

hey man, i thuoght you were gonna go for something alittle more powerful than the TL?

i remember when you were parting out the car you wanted something more extreme than this.. the integra being rhd is pretty extreme. its definitly something i would have never thought of doing, but good luck with it man. should come to some ny meets with it, once youre done with it though, you'll kill all of our TL's on here anyday.

Power isn't everything, it's weight, etc. This car in it's form now would probably romp the shit out of his TL in every category.

Why would someone convert a US LHD to RHD? Makes no sense whatsoever to me.

But isn't the fact that it's just a fake/US conversion make it kind of lame, or does that still get extra points?

fake conversion gets you extra points but definitely not as many as shipped straight from the land of rice and noodles and weird tv shows. so yes, you're right

My buddy had one in HS. He put a beanbag in the rear and we always stuffed about 5 people in the back. Was light too... scary taking fast turns though. Good times
