JDM conversion

[2000redcivicsi]

This might be a weird question but here goes.

I am wanting to make my car an EM1 Type R. I know, Theres no such thing, but I want all the real type r parts to put in my USDM Si. Even the right hand drive. Im looking to paint it championship white as well. Its something I've never seen before on a 2 door Coupe Civic. Unique is what Im going for. Any info would help. Thanks fellas.

You will need,

civic type r:

engine
ecu
suspension (if you plan if you use ek9 stock one which is stiffer)
5lug conversion
brakes
sway bars / strut bars
recaro seats, front and rear
Side moldings
headlights

I will suggest, that you buy a complete front of a civic type r, so you can change it to right hand drive ( not sure about this)

At http://www.passwordjdm.com you can find a lot of parts for your project!

Good luck.

Civic Type R Shift Knob

Oh I have that already. I took a generic one and made it type r. It was a Type R shift knob but the letter and numbers where white. I took my wifes ruby red lipstick, mushed it into the letter and numbers. wiped off the excess. Then to protect it, i took my wifes clear fingernail polish/hardener and put a very light coat of it. Now nobody knows the difference and it looks like factory.

What do you think about the USDM integra type r ?

What do you think about the USDM integra type r ?

I like them, alot, but I like the clean lines of a Civic better. I also like the JDM front ends better. Never was a fan of the bug eyes..
