so im about to buy the whole front half of a jdm integra. i'm doing a jdm conversion for my front clip but im left with some left over right hand drive parts (RHD firewall, steering column, etc.) im wondering what all is involved in converting my 1999 USDM integra LS to right hand drive. what is the whole process and what do i do to make a full JDM conversion? i would imagine that i would have to get a JDM gas tank seeing as the lever for my gas release is on the USDM driver side. but mainly how to i switch firewalls??? and furthermore, is right hand drive even legal here in the states??

idk the answer to any of the questions except the last one....yes, right hand drive is legal in the states lol, how i know this because i know of a guy who has a rhd skyline

whats the whole fascination with JDM why don't you just fly to Japan buy an Integra make the necessary changes there to pass american standards such as smog it would be cheaper

yes right hand drive is legal here in the U.S.. to switch firewalls your gonna have to cut to old one out and weld the new one in

It isn't worth the hassle to make it RHD. There is a lot of modification that needs to be done, and it doesn't make your car look any cooler or perform any better. It's a good way to hack up everything and not get anything from it.

You obviously have no idea what it takes to import a car into the US. If you think it's as easy as flying there, buying it, and shipping it over here, you are completely wrong.

hey man i did a right hand drive conversion to my Integra. I bought a JDM Integra half cut with the JDM front end. first i drilled out all the tack weld on my car firewall then i did the same on the rhd half cut. it takes tons of time to do. if your ready interested and i have pictures of all the welds and how to do the whole swap.
