Hello there, I'm new to this forum and have a problem here. My Si was stolen and stripped a bit over a month ago. Everything under the hood was taken and interior a bit damaged. I searched everywhere for the replacement engine (swaps and clips). The best deal for me is the JDM Civic Type-R front clip with dash and cluster. I was also recommended to do the RHD conversion as it would make the swap whole lot easier. So before I go ahead and do something stupid I'd like to know what needs to be welded/rewelded in the '00 Civic Si chassis? I was told that the only thing that needs to be rewelded is the firewall. But also, ppl told me that if that is removed and the chassis twists a little - that's it for the car and it's stability. How true is this info? Anyone done such a thing or knows anyone? Any help and input on this subject is appreciated. Thanks.

Also, how different would the rewelding of the already cut front clip into mine? I mean cut my front out and reweld the JDM clip back to my left-over chassis?

 

i think there was a thread floating around about this


it was basically drill out the spot welds on the firewall, take the firewall from the rhd clip and all its steering components to replace

 

Yeah, sorry about that, I found the thread. Thanks anyway.

 

whats the thread
