Im in the middle of converting my us-spec integra to JDM. one of the last major changes left is converting to right-hand drive. I have no idea how to even start this.... are there any shops that can do it? Where can i get parts( like a dash) ? Any replies are appreciated

Not sure that's really something you want to do to your car, it's really a lot of work, in addition to having to really hack up your car. You have to cut a hole in your fire wall about the size of a basket ball, not to mention having to patch up the old basket ball size hole on the other side of the car, then having to relocate all the master cylinders, hard lines, A/C componentry, new dash, new steering rack, not to mention welding and repainting all the holes and everything else left from stuff you moved to the other side of the car.

If you have a lot of time on your hands, and want a project, it's kool, otherwise, I wouldn't put the time, energy, or money in to in.

As far as shops that'll do it for you, pretty much any good body shop could do it, it's just a matter of finding all the parts.....

Good luck, Later!!!

Here in Cali. there are shops that sell JDM front clips. When people convert their cars, they hack off your USDM front clip, including fire wall and weld on the JDM front clip. The only thing that you have to worry about is how well they weld the JDM clip on

But if you are looking for the parts, check eBay. I have seen some people selling the whole front clip including fire wall. Good luck in your project!

Check out the latest supper street dec 2002. A guy did the conversion. He gave props to Honda connection, Evans auto body, Autowrex, Pit crew motorsports And JDMRecycler.com All in cali.

The blue "JDM Type R" right? He didn't start with a complete existing car. He bought a non-running junker that was pretty stripped and then took off everything but the frame and rebuilt it from doors and interior panels to engine to hatch with all JDM parts. Not the same thing as what SagaTypeR is looking to do unless he wants to gut and rebuild as well. I really don't see this as less than a 5-figure investment.

I think that is really the only way it would work, got dash and cut into firewall/replace.

the guy that did the rhd integra in super street is a member of http://www.honda-tech.com check it out. do a search on that forum and you can find him. good luck. i was thinking of doing the same thing till i heard it was over 130 welds to drill out and re-weld.

WHY would you want to do this!?!??!

Right hand drive man!!!!!! To tell you the truth, I don't know? Spend money to do nothing but throw your driving balance off and be uncomfortable shifting and cornering? Hey it looks cool right?

haHahAHaH I guess so Paul. It's probly the jealous side of me that sees people use the money I don't have to do things like this.

If you have money to do this, you have enough to import the jdm itr. Or maybe enough for a skyline. Who knows? Why cant I have a money tree

You know you can do it in Cali, it will just requirer you a lot of paper work and begging.

I'm kind of lost on the point to this...spend all this money...it could go elsewhere...
