Actually noone really notices. My buddie has RHD EG civic. The funny thing is if you have an extra steering wheel. Sit on the passengers side and pretend that your driving. Then when someone looks at you turn your pretend steerin wheel into them. People trip out and think your going to hit them. Or when they look at you roll down the window and pretend to hand then the wheel. LOL! it's fun...

you know i never really thought about this but, with a RHD car are the gas brake clutch pedals in the same arrangement as a LHD car? cauz that would be super weird if the gas and clutch were opposite

everything is identical. even the shifting sequence. first would now be on your far left and you would work the gears up and down coming towards you instead of away. reverse will be like driving a vw. weird, but pretty neat. and like hyper4mance said; noone really notices. i too have a friend with a rhd hatchback and hell i didnt even notice till i went to get in the passenger seat and was like "wtf".

Pretty soon that car will be cheap engough and some one will pick it up. Just give it another 4 years.

Hyper4mance great stories...I would be scared too! Especially if you were handing me the wheel! j/k

Wasn't the car listed at $4500 or $5000 the last time it was up? It's definitely dropping. I think it was $6500 two years ago =).

Eh one day it'll be cheap enough that some ricer will pick it up and we'll all shoot ourselves for not getting it.

You know its true.

buy it, and get another FB parts car with title. Then remove the US spec vin tag from the parts car, and replace it with the JDM one. Its not exactly the most legal thing to do, but...yea.

Too late boys. I bought the 12-AT already. Not the same one but I was there at the right time. Made a deal with an old buddy during SS8. $500.

It can be registered. You just need to be creative.

thats what I was thinking!!! it would be USDM tight yo.

Seems like a very fair price though for what you get. If it was One full color then I guarantee it would be sold by now, mismatched body panels leads to believe that it was crashed.
