i wouldn't care, it'd be worth every hassle to have that driving experience
What do you think is so great about driving on the right side? It will end up being more of a hassle than an amazing driving experience, especiallyon a daily driver.
have you ever driven right side? i happen to prefer it over the norm

Yea, it was a converted ek. I wasnt feeling it whatsoever. I was weak shifting with my left hand, and I just didnt like being on the right side. On top of that, as forty said, it is a pain in the *** to access an atm, drive through window, toll booth etc.

I can see it being done to a weekend car, but not a dd.

i can see both sides. It would be a pain in some situations, but it is dope as hell. Belmont does bring up a good point though. I can see casual driving being ok on my left, but i know if i had to fly through the gears there might be some misses and grinding.

yeah, you're special....

Honestly it'll be cool for about ten minutes. There was a guy over in D-Town that picked up a true EK civic RHD, and sold it like a month later because it was such a pain

I couldnt stand to drive on the right. Shift with my left hand? Impossible. It would be wierd. And it would be a bigger hassle than it is fun. Unless you are used to driving on the right, its a big waste of money.

tbh, it's not bad as a weekend car, but daily it would wear on you quickly... however it is more police friendly

i have an uncle with an old rhd austin healy... quite fun to drive tbh
