Curious question. Is it possible to take a US '00 Civic, any model, and make it right hand drive? What I mean by make is, are the holes on the right side (for steering, pedals, etc) as they are for the left side on US models? Hope this makes sense. If not, I'll try to clarify.

The only way that i am aware of making a us car right hand drive is by getting a front clip of a jdm car and then cutting out the firewall and weilding it in.

If that were true, then I guess getting a part from the junkyard or doing an engine swap would be considered illegal. Your changing parts from two cars as well. Same concept. Besides, I was just curious if a US model had the holes for pedals and the steering on the right side as they have on the left side.

california has real strict laws but if your engine blows you can always get a new one, as long as its an engine that would go in that model of car, and it has to be newer or the same year as the car

Just to clear up some confusion. I'm not planning on doing this. It was just a curious question that popped in my head and I figured I would ask on here.

What the hell is the big deal about having a rhd car?? So many ppl have such a hard on for rhd who cares if your car is rhd drive what is the difference we drive on the right hand side of the road so we need a lhd drive vehicle if you want a rhd drive move to japan. Why would you want to waste all the money just to drive on the passenger side of your vehicle?? Here is a cheaper way just glue a steering wheel on your right hand dash board it will save you alot of money man.
