2001 Type R USDM to JDM Swap (Front end, interior, and RHD) (56K!!!)
UPDATED 3/24/08
Car is now my Drag car. I have raced it for the past 3 years and still going strong with no "structural failures" as many claimed I would have.

awesome stuff so far.
car looked great before, this swap should look awesome.
btw, what motor did you have before hand?
edit: nm read title and saw it was an R.
So you're swapping a US R for a j-spec R? seems a liitle unnessisary, but if you wanna get rid of the US motor, you can ship it to me

Re: 2001 Type R USDM to JDM Swap (imola-red dc2)
nice going, did you know you can use a power grinder with metal brush ends to get rid of that silicone stuff around the original firewall? instread of cutting it. but good work though 
hows the fitment? did you guys measure the firewall?

Sick dude, I wouln't be able to do that to one of my cars, seeing no firewall would make me worried because even little squeaks freak me out, props on the swap!
