Ok this is to anyone that's done it, or knows anything about it. I need some help/advice.
I plan on buying this pretty soon.

I need a new engine anyway, and it's not that much more expensive to just get the whole front clip. So I figured I'll just make it a RHD!
Just curious if I need anything else to actually make everything function properly? Anyone have any input that I should know before I start this project? Basically what is done is the firewall is cut out, and the new one is welded in, all components are swapped over to the new fire wall. Correct? I know it's not that easy I'm just trying to cover all my bases before get started.

u can use the harness that it comes with but you want it to be the same obd system as your car now for emission .. but if you get that clip you should have everything you need to do the conversion... you have to do is move the hood, gas, trunk latch to right side. move door switches and harness to the other door and repin some plugs to make the window work and locks. the harness that goes to the fuel pump is located to the other side also. just do some research and you should be okay.

Really?? I wouldn't think so but does anyone on here know what it costs? My main thing is getting it legal. I thought it would be easier to get a conversion legalized. Maybe somebody on here can help me.....hint hint.......richeeee

Only interested in tegs. Either a SIR-G or an R. But I don't see how that is cheaper than doing a conversion. Take trades maybe? LMK shoot me a pm if you want.

its cheaper if you go out and get the car and register it yourself. 14k for a sir sounds high to me.

getting the car registered is the hardest part 14g for an ek sir 100% registered (not grey market the title actually says "98 honda civic sir") isn't alot of money

I charge 5,500 just to register the car
