Default Can you swap steering wheel locations?

Hi,
just wondering if this can be done and would you reccomend it? has anyone done this before? Can the whole steering be swapped to passenger side instead of driverside? let me know.. thanks..

i think you would need to flip the entire fire wall and still you would need new dash, install pedals,...the whole works....just buy a jdm/edm civic for the money you would spend.

you'd have to cut off the stock front clip and get a rhd clip welded in place. totally not worth it.

If you got alot of money and dont feel like having a car for a while, go for it. You gotta find someone that will want to take on that project. There are people out there, but you will probally run into alot of problems with inspection and more depending on where you live.

is it functional or is it rice?? in my book this is rice but to each their own. good luck with it if you do it. and the funny part is that for like the first month, you will be opening the passenger door on accident because you arent used to it. anyhow there is more then just the dash that comes into play, you got the gas tank trunk pull to move, you got the power window/ power locks to move, and you will come into more things as you go along with the project. good luck once again.

Its pointless and stupid.

One, it wouldn't be cool, legal, or neato...


for the money it would cost, you could buy a civic from japan and ship it over here, or you could make your car fast and stop caring about the looks, or buy a fast car.

Now why in the hell would you want to go and do something like that... oh... because it's mad jdm tight yo:ghey:

Get the real deal or forget about it... totally not worth it. Pick up the current issue of HT. There's an article about the guy from inlinefour that imported a rhd teg and he talks about the problems of driving a rhd in the US on roads designed for lhd.
