Call lucky star in toronto....

They had a few front clips of j-spec cars you could easily do a swap. the cars were cut just after the shifter. So you'd have everything you need.

Goodluck

U got racing in your blood!

Take a look at http://www.racelinetuning.com/ They did a RHD conversion on a 92 civic hatchback. Im sure if you send them an email for some details and prices, they'd be happy to help.

Hope that helps bud. :thumbsup

I wasnt able to find any pics on that site I listed but I do know that a guy had the conversion done there. Email them and ask for details. Hope that helps.

if your right arm is shorter, you'll have trouble steering a RHD car. I think you're better off with a LHD, just get your shifter extended towards the driver's seat, and up, so the shift **** would b closer to your hand. Just my suggestion.

Ya BUt the Problem is i have no fingers on my right hand just a nub. So I made a device to attach to the steering whhel which my arms slides into i can turn on a dime. So all i need is the shifter on the left. Ppl ask why I just dont get a Auto Car. I reply With, "Auto Is For 's N I Aint A So Gimme a Shifter."


Heres How My Arm Is. Sorry, Not the best pic but its all i got.

Get an AUTO, swap race tranny, or just give to a specialized tranny shop, so they can rebuild it for perfomance. you will shift faster then any manual. Or manual with sequential shifting... lot's of options, just search. (BTW, F1, WRC... use autos...)
