It's going to be legal in about 3 days when i get all the paper work all filled out...It was shipped directly from japan to california...then from cali it was shipped to my place...i live all way in ohio...stupid state!...but anyway...the only thing wrong with it was the front bumper was cracked, so they even threw in a new one for me...but im prolly just going to throw a kit on it and sell it...and maybe keep buying cars from japan...there soo much better than USDM cars! I'll soon have pictures one my camera is fixed...ill post em...

they are right about the car being unable to be brought into cananda as it is refered to as a "grey area" car by transport canada and customs. Although there is one hoop though if you managed to get a letter from the manufacturer stating that the car was built to canadian safety standards then you can have the car leaglly in the country.

were able to attain such a letter??? all the customs agents told me that they were impossible to get. if you managed to get one how did you go about doing it???

The novelty wears off fast, RHD is a huge pain in the ass IMO

I agree with you dude the novelty wears off pretty quik....I drove a Puegot 205 GtI last summer in Cyprus and it really gets to be a pain when you are used to shifting with your right hand.

its more of a prestige thing I would think. but you would be forever getting stares, and would get extra points at shows. if thats the game your aiming at.

So what trim level is this RHD Integra? Are we talking about a 96 spec Type R or Si-G or what? Either way, it's absolutely no better than the cars we got in the US, it's just BLING to have a RHD car, which soiunds like a pain in the ass to me. Just think about trying to pass on single lane highway; damn it would be nice to have a passenger that knows how to drive in that situation.
