Re: Right Hand Drive
I was born and raised in Jamaica where all the cars are RHD, but I got my license in the US, and I cant see myself driving a rhd car, its a pain in the ***, one on my boy just sold his skyline none turbo to some jdm junky for $18000 and he totaled it the same day 
because he dont know how to drive rhd.
and oh yeah jdm sucks, and it makes me sick, also euro sucks and it makes me really sick

Re: Right Hand Drive
jdm dont really sucks, but its the new rice, I like to see a clean well done car, I consider my car something of my own design, I do what I like to see, and not what everyone else is doing or think is cool. real jdm hondas are N/A and I am a boostaholic I those wing looking stickers they put on the windshield. and the spoon mirrows are ugly. painting your door handle black, and mirrow and license plate holder black is going backwards, because a dx comes with those parts unpainted so if you have a ex or si you make it look like a dx when you paint it black.
other than that I hate fads, I hate bandwaggons, I hate wannabes. dont get too offended this is my opininion.
some jdm looks clean, but why convert a perfectly good car to rhd? you are just putting yourself closer to the danger if you get hit while driving.

Re: Right Hand Drive
You see, its kinda funny.
Anything that 'races' is far from looking good, 95% of the time.
Most cars are ragged out and beaten to ****. They run awsome and handle/stop on a dime, which is why they can outrun alot of cars.
-and yes, 'jdm' is becomming the new rice IMO. I sit back and laugh because how 'JDM' is preceived in the states is no where near how it is in Japan. Okinawa or mainland.

Re: Right Hand Drive
People should stop finding fault with the cars (RHD and LHD) and start looking at the drivers. A driver should be able to drive any one. I grew up in Jamaica where I drove RHD vehicles for many years. I must also state we drive on the left hand side of the road with mostly two lanes going in opposite directions. The first car I bought was a LHD Nissan Sentra (manual transmission). The only issue I had for a start was overtaking. As soon as I got used to knowing what to do/look for before passing the vehicle in front, driving the car was a piece of cake.
Floyd96, good luck with your project. Just keep it clean and nice. In the USA most roads have multiple lanes going in the same direction, and that should make driving a RHD car very easy.

Re: Right Hand Drive
After just getting back from Jamaica and seeing how they all drive there.... 
I dont think it was the RHD that totaled the skyline....You Jamaicans all act "laid back mon, and No Problem Mon" until you get on the road.... Holy ---- Ive never seen so many fucked up drivers/driving in my life. Going through a construction zone in a taxi....and we get passed....the guy passing us blew through the construction site and made a couple of ditch diggers jump out of the way.
Then further up the Highway the taxi jumps over the shoulder and our driver, George lays on the horn, an oncoming passing car is in our lane and refuses to get out of the way as he trys to merge into bumper to bumper traffic....the ***** just keeps driving 80kph right down the opposite lane of traffice
George our taxi driver just turns back to us and says, "No Problem, Mon.....The Right side is suicide"
