All Japanese built models exist in N. America in small numbers. And we have a few of them with right hand drive, but some of them are probably conversions, and not really Type R's at all.

I'm from Holland, Europe. And yes, that's right. Same way with the Hyundai Tiberion. In Holland, the Hyundai Tiberion is actually called a Hyundai Coupe, and the GT type is called a 'FX'. It's fucked up imo.

Mm hmm. The Tiburon is called the Tuscani in some places I think. Our GT with the V6 and 6 Speed tranny is pretty fast in a straight line, but considering it's a coupe with a V6 it should be!

I've never driven a Type R, but everything I've read suggests it is a way better car overall. And since it doesn't have the tall roof line of the RSX I gotta say IT RULES!

I'm sorry but that didn't really answer my question. I mean.. how can you costum mod a car so the wheel is on the left or right hand side. Seems like allot of work.

But is there a 2002-2004 Honda Integra Type-R with the steering wheel on the LEFT hand side? This one but then the steering wheel on the LEFT.

With the comparison between the RSX-S and the Tiburon, I would choose the RSX-S. The tiburon is a good vehicle, well equipped with some decent power, but they don't have as many pros as the RSX-S does. It is a honda, so you know they're well made, can't say the same for the Hyundai

I don't believe there is a LHD version of the DC5 (ie the most current generation) Type R. All the countries the Type R is sold in are RHD. As far as the conversion goes, you're probably better buying a Type R and importing it into Holland and dealing with the RHD than converting to LHD; it's not a simple conversion.

So there is no chance for me getting a Honda Integra Type-R with Left Hand Drive? And I don't want to convert it from RHD to LHD, cause I wouldn't know how.

What I can do is buy a Acura RSX-S with LHD and get the Honda logo's and front bumer (because the front is different where the logo is) and all of the other things like the Brembo brakes and them rims. But that would be a little fake.

The best thing would be to buy an Acura RSX-S and mod it myself.

I really do like the lights that are on the Type-R, any change someone knows where to order them? Like.. from Honda in Japan?
