it is more complicated than you think. yes the motor will have to be removed. you will also have to remove your current firewall and install a RHD firewall, along with it's dash, brake M/C, brake lines, pedals, etc.

there's a thread here that details the process.
to do it properly requires a lot of welding, its not just throwing in a dashboard.

Re: rhd conversions (chadalac1712)

hey bro, check out this archived thread, the man's a genius and does awesome work. he shows you that it's more than just a dash, cut some holes and weld a little bit. it'll make you think long and hard aobut doing it. let me tell you, my DA integra is giving me a tough time right now. I'd advise helping someone with one first, cause unless you have money to blow, or the mechanical ability, you are going to be at it for a while.

just want to say that reaction time has nothing to do with shifting.
your r/t has to do with your eye seeing the light turn and your brain telling your foot to let go of the clutch.
