    unless you want to do a RHD conversion, it would probably be alot cheaper just buying a engine & whatever other jdm / edm parts you want (ie corner lights, fogs, etc..) from people off here. do remember to use the search function, if you want to do a b20a swap read this section till your eyes fall out off its sockets https://www.3geez.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=83

    EDM B20As are LHD tho, except for UK ones.

    The steering location has no effect on external body parts or Engine.

    YOu can get them at engine importers but they never import them

    Hehehe yeah. That's why you just keep your current vacuum box for the new engine. There's just a bunch or vacuum solenoids in there

    it would be cheaper to just import the entire car then to convert it to right hand drive. you have no idea how much work or how many parts that involves.

    do you know of any good importing companies? i do know what would be involved in doing a rhd conversion,and it would be fun to do,scares me far less than building a turbo system.

    If you're doing a front end conversion to fixed headlights you'd indeed be better off with an EDM one, as a JDM would have the light pattern the wrong way around.

    Never seen one. The only special one I have seen is Jon's RHD sedan.
