JDM 1996 Honda Integra Type-R

Is this a good buy? the only problem is this is a Right Hand Drive and I live in California. And we all know how the cops in CAli are

Can this vehicle be driven legally on CAlifornia highway? or anywhere in the USA?

Theres an EG hatch thats RHD at Cerritos College, and there are a lot of cops patrolling so i wouldn't think its a problem.

i don't think that RHD would be an issue. as long as there is crash test data for the vehicle, and it has been converted to OBD-II along with adding catalysts... you should be all set. since the car is in PA apparently you shouldn't have any issues with the car being registered in the US--since it already is.

i'm glad that i am not the only one wondering about that opening bid.

i actually worked on one of the 97 type-Rs the other day and the driver had totally driven it into the ground. the thing was completely trashed. even the paint was flaking off of the valve cover. after i did an oil change on the car he made a joke about the outside of the engine being nasty but the inside being nice... i pulled out the dipstick and the brand new oil was already black as used diesel oil. i didn't have much to say in response to that.
