Yay. Someone with some sense.

I've thought about buying a RHD shell, and letting my friends pick thru the suspension/motor bits and I'd take the interior and RHD swap.(no not the white hatch)

who is this guy accordinlydone. i cant find him on here. i looked under members list. really would like to talk to him.

i thought about just makin it a race car, but i know id eventually wanna drive it on the street. i have a k20r in my dc2 now, and its a blast to drive. if i put one in a civic hatch, i know i would have all the fun in the world.

if i cant register it i might buy for parts like you said jarrod. who knows. my options are
make dc2 rhd
make eg rhd
or get this hatch registered. after driving my boys rhd dc i fell in love. i got a lot of looks and stares. plus i knew i was different from alot of the other integras. to bad it wasnt my car.

how would the carpet and door panels be different on a rhd car?

Depends if there are carpet reinforcement pads under the driver's feet, or a lower trim line for the pedals. Door panels are different because of the power window/lock/mirror controls.

Buy the car, then buy my car. Do the RHD conversion, swap the motor, and you're good to go :)

why are you struggling with this.

NO shop in it's right mind will help you with this. It is illegal.

You simply cut the vin tags off a legitimate civic and superglue them to an illegal one, and hope you don't get caught.

Quit being retarded.

does not work legally....
the shell is the car.
you could take all the JDM parts off and put them on a usdm shell though
