GOOD LORD DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO DO THAT?????
the rack alone you gotta pull EVERYTHING...and I do mean EVERYTHING or use a overhead lift to secure the engine/tranny.
NOT FOR THIS KID...noooooo
I had a hell of a time converting my ZCAR to from recirculating ball/auto tranny to RACK AND PINION AND STICK SHIFT.
and that was merely exchanging parts....whoofff,what a toughie..on a RWD car
oh yeah,faster AND furious..Heh Heh Heh
better to be thought the fool..
rather then to open one's mouth and confirm it
use may include risk factors these include;anal leakage,oily discharge,copious flatulence,bloating,incontinence,erectile dysfunction,body rejecting genitals,a racing or severely diminished heart rate/including death. discontinue use if health insurance ends,or patient turns blue and doctor leaves after declaring patient has died...your results may vary

This wouldnt be a problem at all on a 1st gen crx. I can have mine striped to bare shell in a little over 4 hours. Engine pulled in 45 minutes It takes 45 minutes to pull a dash. It takes probably 30 minutes to drop the crossmember (subframe) that holds the steering rack. Shit..it only takes an hour to drop both front and rear suspension completely. I could see myself doing this conversion in about 2 days. The add does'nt specify 1st or 2nd gen. I've never seen a rhd 1st gen. That would be pretty badass..

Wow, just think about it. I wouldn't have to pull and swap my drivers seats. I could just convert it to right hand drive and save my self a lot of stress that way. Whew. 
Honda, because it's hard to look baller in your mom's Volvo.
The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.

Not a rare thing at all. All the 1G's in the UK are right hand drive. Just got a picture of one. Looks like DX bumpers and cladding with the two tone paint. Except there they came with a sunroof and the Si engine. JS

Actually I have a valid interest in a RHD car. My fiancee is hoping to get a job as a rural route carrier. It requires a POV that is preferably RHD. I'd be more interested in a Civic RHD than a Rex though, due to the extra room to carry letter bundles. Plus if she didn't get the job I could work on the car and have fun with it. Only thing we've seen that she was interested in was a Saturn wagon RHD.

I'm not like any type of JDM freak(JDM = used or stock from japan and to me it equals waste of money) but i would so love a RHD crx just to have it. They are rare in the states when it comes to the 1g and would definately be a great convo and head turner piece !
