Converting a JDM DC5R?
I payed a deposit to buy a JDM DC5R (2002 Integra Type R) from a Japanese garage. By the way i am from Oman. Oman is South of Iran. We never did get the Type R before and will never will. The demand of the Type R here is very low and i have been waiting for this car for a while to arrive here, then i deceided ti import the car. The car i am getting is RHD(right hand drive) and i need to convert it to LHD(left hand drive). i know in the US poeple drive LHD and can import a RHD car, but here LHDs are only allowed and RHD is not, so doing a conversion is a must. I realised that the RSX-S is the only LHD of the Integra version of the JDM. Does any one here know if this conversion needs to be done know which parts i have to:
1-Modify?
2-relocate?
3-reaplce?
i know there is allot to be done, but allot of poeple here do it, cause we dont get nice cars like in other countries, so we have to do it ourself. I chose the JDM ,cause the it has more features than the OZDM DC5R and even has an affordable price. i know i will need a new:
1-dashaboard
2-interior door panels
3-pedals
4-steering column
5-need a new bulk head and even known as the firewall (is this sold by the US dealer or do i have to look for a wrecked RSX-S in the yard?). This part is the piece of metal that is between the dashboard and the engine, where the steering will go through and other wiring. NOt even sure, cause one garage told me they will modify (so dont know which to do replace? or modify? the bulhead)
6-anything else?
Any accurate info will be appreciated,
