Default RHD conversion

I just called this place called password JDM and they said most of the parts for a EG are interchangable for RHD from LHD. Is this true. I know Im gonna need a firewall, dash, steering column. Thats what they told me. Wouldnt I need a new steering rack, clutch lines, throttle cable. and things like that. If anyone could let me know what all I would need or would it just be better buying the whole front clip. Thanks

Just buy the whole front clip if you really feel the need for a RHD car. It would probally be easier to import one, and a retarted idea unless you either show the car or work for the USPS.

If you really want to do it, you will need:

dash
all hard lines
all heater stuff
climate control
wiring harness (car)
fire wall
steering rack
front subframe

thats about it, but would be a big project, for
not much results, other then sitting on the
passenger side.

oh, more things I thought of looking through my crap for
a integra fog light switch last night:
black plastic peice at bottom of windshield
wipers
wiper motor
turn signal switch
wiper switch
rear quarter pannels(gas door)

Yeah I understand its a big project for just sitting on the other side. But thats what I want and its not easier to import one, trust me Ive tried going through all that. Too much hassle. I would rather take on that project than to deal with customs. Any other info I would greatly appreciate it
