As far as what exactly? the turn signal/headlight and washer/wiper stalk switches are on the opposite sides. That's about all I can think of that is different. '89 RHD Wagon?? SWEET, post pics!

From rack to steering wheel, I would like to change the entire assembly.


Just put suspension and wheels on it

OH BABY!!! What a great find. Well I would think that a column would be plug-n-play as far as length, mounting points, and splines into the rack. It is going to be very difficult to find any info to compare the two outside of contacting someone that has performed a RHD conversion on one of those. I would suggest keeping an eye out at local junk yards for an '89 Wagon and pull the column from that. If it doesn't work, you shouldn't be out too much $$. That is if you can find one. Craigslist or eBay are other sources. Wish I could help out more. I am more experienced with '96-00 Hondas. Good luck!

If you really wanna get crazy you can rip the steering column out of that CRX I see in the background and give that a try. HAHA, you never know...

Well, I would think anything in a Civic/CRX '88-91 would be pretty damn similar. Hopefully someone with some knowledge in this area will chime in for ya.
