New master cylinder and booster, cut the firewall, etc.

There are bound to be hundreds of posts on here as well as other sites on how to convert USDM EFs to RHD. I'll be the first to tell you: SEARCH.

Be prepared to drill out a 100 billion spot welds, make sure this is something you are committed to doing because it's a lot of work.

It's not worth it if it's just going to collect dust.

You're better off buying a complete front clip because you're also going to need the steering rack, firewall, brake lines, etc.

first you need to pull the motor and gut the engin bay, then gut the inside of ur car.. pull the dasy harnesss and all.. pull windshield, drill all spot welds holding the firewall in. once uget the new firewall in u need to reroute all ur lines. and put everything back together but ull need the rhd rack and pin.

Just buy a RHD civic man, you can import them for the money you're going to put into converting yours. The only thing that sucks is you wont want to go through any drivethroughs unless you're at rally's!

its WAY more than just swapping out dash boards.

1. remove your current LHD by drilling out all spot welds that place it in your car.
2. remove the RHD firewall ( and all other parts u need) from the donor car.
3. Place the RHD firewall in place of the old LDH firewall and start rewelding the spot welds.
4. Take all hardware from Donor car and switch to current car.
5. Wire all electrical components ( this part is SO fun)
6. I forgot to mention...paint the firewall both inside and out and oh yea, its better to remove your engine and everything located in your engine bay.
7. It seems like 7 easy steps but TRUST ME, its not easy and it took me a long time, 3 months, plus tons of money in parts, drill bits, grinders, weld crap, paint, etc.
8. You also need to have your windsheild removed too.

Now do you want to do it?
