You need a front clip from a JDM civic or integra. The civic fits ok with lil mods needed. It's alot cheaper from what I hear. I've started looking into but not to much. I'll let you know when I fing more info. I do plan on doing it. I think I might wait till the car is paid off though.
Thanks~ Please keep me posted

Wow... you'll need so many parts.. I hope you have a good $10k or so available to you.
You're gonna need a firewall, steering rack and column, JDM center console, dash, maybe gauge cluster, possibly door panels and will have to relocate a few items in your engine bay. I think I left more than a few items out but be aware that this isn't a simple bolt-on process. So be prepared to find a reputable body shop and pay them a lot of $$.

Erik B, are you the guy who drove the yellow Integra Type R with Tein Suspension set up? Did you sold your Original Type R strut and springs to someone in Oklahoma 2 years ago?

haha, cause I brought a set like that from someone in CA with a Yellow ITR with JDM front end conversion. His name is also Eric, that's why I thought that might be you~
His car just looks like your, with Carbon Fiber fiber hood, and Ray rims.
But ... he told me .. he goona put the turbo in there!
Any way.... did you find someone to convert left hand into right hand drive yet?
Or do you know how to do it?
I have the parts .... but dunno how to do it!

Really, I'd say you'd have a pretty tough time changing you're own firewall, unless you're a very accomplished welder....
In addition to all the normal costs, consider that you need the JDM window switches, dash, power steering rack, resivoir mounts, battery mount, not to mention all the hard line that you need to change that will no longer fit. Hell, but the time you get done converting your car, you'll be more than 3/4 the cost of just buying a right hand drive ITR.

I found someone to do it ... hahahah .... it gonna cost me $3200 with everything included like Dash, Power steering stuff, rack and pinion, window switch, ..... except the cluster and steering wheel. But they said I can use my own steering wheel back and also the cluster! Good !
They also provide 1 year unlimited mileage warantty. Cool~
The whole project take 25 days.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you're really asking for problems, and you can also wave good bye to any warranty if you had any that came from honda......
Well, I wish you luck, let us know how it turned out.
