Spotted RHD Integra Type R today
Don't know if any of you guys seen this one or know who owns it, but it was a RHD Type R Integra with a JIC race team graffic on the right side of the bumper and then another graffic along the side of it saying "Gathers". Got up next to it and gave the guy a

It was weird driving next to him, I was in the left lane. We were on Sheppard going west between Meadowvale and Morningside.

Very nice!

hmmm..was it white...there was a white RHD drive Type R at Speed-0-Rama.

So would this have been a conversion?
Or can you actually import them over before 15 years.

Yeah, it was white, as far as it being a conversion, I have no clue and couldn't tell you. Not sure if this means anything, but it did say Right hand Drive on the back of it.

LOL are you for real when you just posted that? Whens the next tcc meet I'll put the dealer plates on the 240 for the day and you explain to me if it was a waste of time building that car.

I saw that car on April 9th at Woodbine Acura. Looks nice. I think it matches your description.

From what I heard that day, the person imported a JDM ITR, then transferred everything over to a USDM chassis. I could be wrong.

Luka, I think you jumped to the conclusion a little too quick.

Lots of people convert their cars to RHD.

You'd be surprised how some people waste their time.

I wouldn't call it a waste of time, a lot of people talk about I got JDM this and JDM that, and my car is all about JDM but how many of them go the extra mile and make there car as close to JDM as they can not much, most people think having a CTR lip and amber fog lamps makes there car JDM little do they know they have a long way to go

No whole thing is done motor, wide body seats everything is JDM you'll see it around this summer its gunmetal and it will have dealer plates on it, I can bring out to the next TCC meet but I know that you guys are all about street legal stuff right? thats why the car only gets dealer plates because its not legal to drive because of the frame

The point of making it right hand drive is because I wanted to build a JDM car and I don't do things half a$$
