Yeah it's kinda hard to tell by just a piece of the front fender. 510s and Corollas are pretty easy to confuse. But looking at the C-pillar, I think it is a Corolla. 510s had a little vent there and were 2-doors.

Don't do RHD. I thought this was project de-rice.

How hard was the quick release wheel to do? And how much was it? I was thinking of doing one for my Sil-Eighty when it gets out of the shop. I have to park it for a week at a time in a big parking lot and having no steering wheel would make it harder to steal. Better than alarm.

I now it costs alot, but it would look amazing.

no way I would never convert a LHD car to RHD its not safe and cost way to much. The only way I would drive a RHD car is if it was stock RHD.

Pull wheel off. bolt on the hub. bolt the quick release to the hub. bolt after market wheel to quick release. done.
Hard part it getting it all strait.
First time I put it on I went to leave and the wheel was almost upside down. Only problem with it is the wheel will be closer to you and farther away from the blinker switch. You can buy slim hubs but there more expensive.

OUCH! RHD isn't rice it's nice. If anything it's the farthest thing from rice. not many US cars are RHD. I'll agree it's not as safe as LHD, but it still looks amazing.

I agree it would be great to have a RHD crx but I wouldn't sacrifice a perfectly good LHD car for it.

heres one for sale in canada. $8000

I just don't think LHD cars should be conveted to RHD. It's just fake. And ricers tend to fake stuff. To each his own, but i think it's much cooler to see a true JDM car, one that's really a japanese car, not one that's been done up to look like one. Just take a look at (and I know I'm going to catch crap for saying this) vintage Hemis. Sure a well resotred car that's been converted can fetch well over 30K at auction. But the clean, numbers matching factory Hemi cars are well over 100K apiece. So in 30 years, the original RHD CRXs will go for like 50K in America and the converted cars will sell for about 10K or less. That is truth right there.

Thanks for the info on the quick release. What brand of parts did you use?

I bought all of the parts off ebay. No brand names but works great.

Quick question, Why does it seem that flat black is the preferred paint job on most rex's. Is it cost related or just looks.
