My jdm ep3 rhd conversion!!!!

[rhdsirek4]

Whats up ephatch.com!!! A couple of months ago I had posted a wtb thread for a rhd ep3 dashboard, i found it at a local shop, so heres my build thread. I don't have many pics of my car since i see it everyday. from the pics i have i know you guys will be sure that it is a real rhd coversion. im not building this car to put it away in a garage and park it. its going to be my daily driver once its done. im not going to crazy with my ep as i did with my other cars, just enough to turn a couple of heads.... heres the list of mods that im doing to it right now. and its current stage. ENJOY!

Bought my 2005 Honda Civic si at a small dealership...ive owned it about 6 months. i bought my rhd clip from steve at hmotors, dash was cracked so i bought a replacement one and had my rhd clip sitting under a car cover since. i didnt realize it until 2 months ago that i bought a really molested car. my engine went out about 2 months ago, didnt expect it would since it had 66,xxx miles.i bought a totaled 2004 rsx type s with 70,xxx miles. when i was doing the engine swap, me and my buddy decided it was time to do the rhd conversion since the engine was coming out.

list of parts and mods:

RHD EP3 CLIP
RHD EP3WIPERS
USDM BUMPER MODIFIED TO JDM BUMPERS (FRONT AND REAR)
USDM SIDE SKIRTS MODIFIED TO JDM SIDE SKIRTS

Looks clean. Nice work. The rotor sizes are dramatically different. I didnt think they'd be noticeably different.

Car needs real jdm bumpers. Usdm is so bulky. Good luck!

[usedep3]

good job man. even better that you do the work yourself

[Tnhatch03]

WOW!

Awesome work man! i can't wait to see what happens!

the dog is not exactly a jack stand... but he looked like he had everything under control.

wowwwwww seems and looks like a full conversion from LHD USDM market model to RHD JDM market model.

have much respect for the work and time you have investited with your helpers.loo

The RSX-S front brake is the same as the EDM and JDM Ep3R one, so your re fully converted.

love the red floor mats, honda just made RHD ones.

Looks not as shiny as i want to have it in my CTR, because of the black floor mats.

thanks guys, ill do the complete jdm conversion when ever i decide to park it and put it away. but for now im going to keep most of the oem parts... this is work done by my close friend and I, he is the brains behind all my builds. i really like the red, especially in ctr's, so in germany are they rhd of lhd? i get confused to where rhd's are common.

The red looks great against the tw, nice job.
England has rhd, it's the only European country that I know of, although there are probably more.

WOW. just plain WOW.

try to take as many pics as possible.

[team ERA 5]

wow! lots of work and welding put into that car. looks good!

[rhdsirek4]

thanks guys, ill get more pics up soon of my ctr wing modified to fit my usdm hatch and my side skirts:)


i have a question for you guys, what front lip fits on my usdm front bumper? and as for the rear, does a ctr lip fit on the bumper? im not interested in my jdm bumpers right now. so whatever works ill use.

[Kerby]

you have an 02-03 bumper.

so your choices are:
1.) CTR lip
2.) Mugen lip
3.) Airwalker

[rhdsirek4]

thanks for the info! ill probably go for the ctr lip... not much of a mugen fan..
