Super easy you just need the RHD computer and everything else swaps over. You can re-use your steering rack too, just have to cut a hole in the firewall. It's best to only do this on chassis' with sunroofs though.

ive done a couple ive done a ej coupe and a del solits not a walk in the park like the other guy said theres alot to remember, take plenty of pics from 1 step to another, i did it with a breeze and came out flawless. you can not half *** a right hand drive conversion or you will jack up car where at end it wont even be worth it. im pretty car savy so i didnt have a problem approaching the swap. the proper way is to drill out the firewall completly not hack it out half way there will be about 100 spot welds that have to be drilled out and if firewall doesnt come out of clip that means theres more spot welds somewhere or you didnt drill big enough holes to get threw spot weld. the wire harness just gets flipped the other way. there is alot more to it then that just serch around theres a couple post online on how to but i would not attempt it if you dont have compressor, welder, and alot of tools. i haev pics of when i did mine just so you can see the process if you would like, its not a write up its just alot of pics so you can see how its done let me know if you want to see them

It's easy, first thing you do is give back the stolen goods, and buy your own expletive.

stop posting if you don't know what you're talking about... you cant use the same rack... rhd is lots of time and not easy if you are not good with your hands and have lots of patients.. you do not need any computer from the rhd... everything does not swap over... and it doesn't matter if you have a sunroof or not....

you need to be experienced in welding, wiring, and minor mechanic skill... overall on a difficult level i would give it a 7/10.. if you know absolutely nothing about cars 10/10 (once u cut you're screwed)

you are correct rhd projects are alot of work you have to use everything fromt eh clip all dash parts and ac/heater box's, the only thing you can use from your car is the wire harness which is just flipped around the oppistie way and ran threw. the rack has to come out, the firewall has to come out, ts a welding job for sure i did mine and did not hack it i drille out damn near 100 spot welds and re-welded them back p plus extrat welding aaround whole seam after that. once again its alot of work it tok me about 4 full weeks working on it 4-5 hours a day but at end it was worth it cause i knew how to do it now

ill get all my pics of my ek job and send them to you her is pics of my ej i did. this was my first one and came out flawless, the ek is done the same way i just wanted to give you a idea of what has to be done. that single firewall peice is what you have to take out the rhd clip that a pic of the right way you should. i have seen a lot of hack jobs half way threw the firewall and its nasty and not correct. once agan not everyone can approach a job like this, you will get into it and expletive it up if you dont knwo what your doing or aernt car friendly, double click pics to enlage!!!!!!!

Let me get you all a link.

alright found the link, and no it's not bullshit, this fool is really handling stolen goods and trying to lie about it.

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/2229695


you guy's shouldn't be helping out this guy. I think he stole jdm-soul's engine. All seems a bit too suspicious. He claimed he got a "free" engine then he said he bought it, but he told someone else it was stolen? Makes no sense. lol.

haha that sounds like a good idea

ive gotten my car stolen by ms13
i dont kno how you can have a mindset to go and steal someones stuff and then gut it... thats way too grimey i hope next time he desides to steal something from someone, there still awake and own a shotgun... when you get your car stolen and gutted and have to pay $800 in just fees to get it back... you start thinkin about what you want to do to these people... i just want to catch someone in the act so i have a reason to beat there skull in with a aluminum bat

Come to Canada and buy a right hand drive. For the money and trouble, it's a lot easier to just buy a complete car. I did.
