Why the ---- would you want to drive a FORD? I guess to me both questions would fall in the same category... but realy the reason i would want a RHD car is so my ---- would be different from every other civic in the area, without putting a gay *** body kit with 4 foor wing on it.

He just said he paid $150 for the parts, plus his own labor. Try importing a whole car and let me know how much it costs in the end. And weigh the headache of the registration vs. the headache of importing that car. It's a no brainer.

Yeah ---- trying to import a car, I say there is way too much bulshit you got to deal with then... i bought my hatch for $100 + RHD front clip, full B16 swap and everything you see in the pics, all together cost me around $2000, try importing a car from england or Japan and I bet you my left nut you wont get anywhere close to 2K more like 7-9K

well i got the front clip from a local JDM part importer, he wated $3K for a COMPLETE front end with motor and tranny, but I said HELL NO. and then i waited for couple of months untill he ended up pulling motor and tranny out of the front clip, and then the *** wipe said: just give me $150 for what you see and you can have it. So I did. You can get them on Egay for around 300-400 +shiping... If you live in WA I can hook you up on a RHD front clip... I got one more sitting in my side yard..
