question for RHD guys

RE: question for RHD guys
I see no point in a RHD anything in the U.S., everything is setup for the drivers side to be on the left and in all reality it adds no performance qualities at all other than the "OMG111!!!! LOOK AT ME I'M SO jDm yO!!!!" status. I could understand importing say a R32/R34 but a RHD civic that is in everyway the exact same as what you get here??? That brings me to a late 90's CTR, you could source all the parts for a CTR other than the RHD crap and build a CTR replica out of a 99/00 Hatch alot cheaper than importing one. Some have no idea the cost of the inspections, transporting, getting U.S. correct parts and so on are.
I am a civic owner and this is a civic forum but I may **** some off in saying that no honda civic is worth that.

I can see something like a Silvia, Skyline, or something like that but something as simple as a civic I dont understand. I lived in Japan my 7th and 8th grade year as my stepfather was stationed at Yakota AFB on the out-skirts of Tokyo and the first car I learned to drive with a manual transmission was a RHD 91 Base Skyline and a MR2, I see nothing really better about it......just different

No, you're absolutely right. Unless you're driving on the left side of the road, there is absolutely no benefit to it at all. It just comes down to personal preference... I tend to do a lot of things left-handed, so shifting lefty has a nice feel to it for me.

I don't have pics of anything... thanks to the fact that I don't own a camera, digital or otherwise.
And I don't own a car at the moment either...
My next project is either going to be a 1G DSM or an S13.
