Default AP1 & Right-hand drive Integra

So I noticed this nice white newer Integra on the freeway and I did a light fly-by right by him. Too many cars around so I didnt wanna race. He seemed lowered with exhaust, nice rims, etc. Then I get off the next exit, he follows and gets off behind me. He slowly drives by me on the side street and I noticed he had a right-hand drive! Im guessing was imported or something. Ive seen right-hand drive civics with engine swaps smoke rsx type-S's easily. Too bad we couldnt play a little. Too many cars on the side streets too. So I gave him a thumbs up and he did the same. Seemed like a cool guy and nice ride for an Integra. I love seeing right-hand drive cars I wonder what kind of power he had? A good amount of smoke came out of his exhaust when he shifted, so maybe he had one hell of a beast with test pipe??

I've seen a few RHD conversions, so it didn't HAVE to be an actual JDM car. It's only for the bling factor since it makes the car a lot less practical.

He could have just had a beat engine, or maybe it runs too rich when out of boost. You'll never know until you ask.

If it was a true JDM car the smoke was from the mini JDM cat they have. Nothing like the cars in the US.

A friend has a very mildly tuned JDM DC2R and it does the same thing
