Getting a 4th-gen Front Clip... what else is usable? - Honda Prelude Forum

SoFlaLude · 04-05-2005, 03:32 PM

I'm getting it primarily for the H22a, but what else is usable under the hood? Would things like the A/C compressor and brake master cylinder (since both of mine are on the fritz) work? I figure the brakes should be swappable as well. Anyone know for sure what isn't affected by the clip being RHD?

do a RHD Conversion

Maybe there's a JDM hood insulator?

does it have headlights and such??

if so....would you be willing to sell the amber turn signals to me?

u could do a JDM CC swap also

lighter front bumper, some JDM fuse box cover, also the bb1 plate. there are quiet a few things that you can re use. you can use the brake, i wouldnlot reuse the rotor,

if you get a 94-96 you can have El gauges. tweeder cover you can sell, the JDM CC like someone mention.

JDM fender with the amber turn blinker,

I don't understand the RHD nonsense. Yeah, if you never want to go through a drive-through again, draw unnecessary attention from the police, make passing on a two-lane-road a life-threatening ordeal, etc., then teh conversion is PERFECT!

So I'm assuming that the little bits I mentioned should be ok, right? I'm just curious because things like the fuel rail are inversed on our car compared to the JDM one, just wanna make sure that there aren't other surprises like that.

I already have JDM foglights and headlights on my 'lude, and a set of fenders ready to install, so I'll have dupes now that I can sell, as well as a bunch of USDM stuff (stock alloys, USDM headlights). As for the turn blinkers, I'll probably look into getting rid of those too since I have the clear JDM Stanley ones (which had to be drilled out to install the bulb since they're only reflectors). But I will be doing the JDM CC conversion and VTEC brakes I agree with 4thGenReady2Go though, doing the RHD conversion in South Florida will just draw too much negative attention to my car, from police and a$$holes. I guess that's something else that I can get rid of locally if someone's nuts enough to weld a new firewall...

you dont have to weld anything, its just a pain in the ass swap to make it right hand drive. The firewall is built for RHD or LHD out of factory

so how much for everything to do the rhd conversion?
