Right steering lude, converted to left?

Hello all

Im new here and glad i found this forum.
I recently found my dream lude, but its in england and they kinda sit in the 'wrong' side of the car (right side)

My question is, is it possible to convert it to left/normal steering position?

Thanks

Regards Rasmus // Denmark

why would you want to change it to left hand drive? right hand drive is usually preferred. ha

Yea RHD in a LHD country would suck hard. You can't find any LHD Preludes locally?

I'm sure you can convert to LHD, but I don't think it will be cost effective or easy...

Do you have to pay importation fees? Where are you going to find all the parts to convert it to LHD? Who is going to do the labor?

IMHO, its going to be a hassle and not worth it in the end

true that man the best way is to get the whole front end where its just the shell and has all the dash accessories pedals center and steering wheel and the plus side would be you could sell you rhd as a kit and make money off of it but it is a pain man trust me

It would be a waste! You could probably sell yours, buy a US lude, and still have money left over. Think about it.

^If he were only in the US where LHD cars are everywhere...

If it were me I'd get the RHD one, especially if you're really a fan of the car and they're that expensive over there. Left hand is technically the wrong side since the car is originally manufactured as a RHD car.

Ye denmark is LHD UK is RHD. But i found a lude in denmark for like 10000$ huraay denmark ftw! prices are sick and that one is cheap they are usualy around 16 -18k... I have a lovely civic esi 125hp. Thats a part of the deal and ill give him 3.5k then it should be fine..

Pisses me off tho to see ppl whine about prices of used cars :P come to denmark and have alook..
