RHD Conversion

[JDMH22ACB7]

damn! so clean, how much would you charge for the labor and where did you source the donor car for the rhd parts? I was looking into this and ran across wrench-pro garage out there inb cali and they said $2000 labor plus you gotta source a clip....the clips are expensive! oh and more pics please!

[Davids92Accord]

Yea the clips are expensive.. It's cheaper to just get the whole car . I was quoted by a shop $4000 to bring a complete right hand drive cb7 engine and all

[JDMH22ACB7]

WHAT????? Hold on, are you for real serious?? are the cbs old enough to import? $4,000, is that shipped and everything? Do you have this shops contact number? I am interested and in the market and would assume pay for an imported one versus 600-8000 for someones converted civic...lol. just sayin...lmk!

I don't think u can register it though

Unless u swap VIN tags and all that.

Would be cool to get a 2.0 Si Exclusive coupe. Only way I would consider it

Yea that's was shipped and everything the shop is called http://www.gspotauto.com it's in LA I spoke to the owner and Asked him about it when my brother got his jdm front end installed on his dc2

As for registering it you can here in ca as long as it passes smog with CA emissions a bunch of us here in so cal have there jdm engines bar'd by emissions and my buddy Ruben who's converted his right hand drive is legal to drive here as well

im a Pre-Litigation paralegal here in downtown LA.. since you build planes im sure you get some sick ass discounts on air fare

is that a whole jdm car shipped over with glass and motors and body panels and suspension and everything?

YUP call him and ask. when i spoke to him all i wanted was a jdm front bumper and he said its cheaper for him just to get the whole car and the price he quoted was $4000 shipped he didnt say if was going to come missing stuff if it does then its most likely just the engine but body parts were all there

[blazedealh91]

pictures of the first car. wen i drop it of at the CHP office

now that is dumped

[JDMH22ACB7]

Yeah David, no real discounts, i just build parts for buisness jets, the grunts of aviation, lol..I called him up and he has lost his hookup that helped him get cars over here major bummer, wonder if the chp taking homeboys had somerthing to do with it? idk but the front clip would be around $1,000..not bad price. now i wonder, I have a 91 4door auto and a 93 coupe 5speed H22, wonder which one i should do it to, im thinking the coupe, lol.. and Ruben said idk if he was joking that he would do a conversion and wondered how much something like that would go for..I know Wrenchpro out in cali will do one in 2-3 weeks for $2,000 for just the labor...I didnt ask if Gspot Automotive did the labor part of it..

oh damn that sucks i thought he owned the importer.. as for the conversion i would do it to the coupe but yea im sure a shop would charge that price since its a shit load of labor as you can see in rubens pictures he had to remove EVERYTHING and then cut and weld its a lot of work and i wouldnt doubt it if ruben said no to doing this all over again lol he must be beat on having to have done this twice

maybe not...he's done it twice so now he is twice as experienced. and maybe its easier for him because he learned from mistakes done on the first 2 lol

I do and am on at least once a day, sometimes less..add me, My name is Shelby Profita, i may need some help on collaborating with some shops and for transportation out there...may have to have the wifey drive the other one..wrenchpro wants my car and clip for about 3 weeks to perform the rhd operation...lmk everyone, wanted to this for many many many years and shall make it happen like ruben did!!
