you need to use the little red link at the top right hand side of the page. you need to search alot more. you basicly need to buy the whole rhd clip.

You could piece it together, like just get a dash and what not, and swap the steering column. Best bet w/ this is to get a front clip, which would include a jdm motor, but you can use your usdm one.

But then, yes, you guessed it, you have to cut your car in 1/2 to fit on that new front clip, and now its probably not going to be structually sound.

So after all the fab work, it might as well just be cheaper to find an authentic rhd in the states, or import one.

I dont get why people like RHD
Maybe cuz its "Jay-Dee-Emm" ?
Me, i love my LHD i dont care what anybody says.

Im just going to be laughing at you if you do it.
Cause you know this country wasnt meant to have RHD...
So paying at Toll stops, Drive-thru windows, banks etc...its going to be a hassle.

But thats just me, i like ease and piece of mind.
Yes, i am lazy

.....

But its whatever dude, whatever makes you happy
Just remember that this wont be ideal in the US.

not true. Just get a rhd firewall, extend all the wires you need to and steering stuff. Its alot of work. You have to know what you are doing.
