would a ef9 RHD conversion fit in a wagon?

A guy near me has a complete ef9 RED conversion and I'd LOVE to go RHD in my wagon, so would the firewall be a direct swap over? i know the dash would need work, and I know the typical stuff associated with RHD conversions, but are the firewalls similar enough that it would worth buying? or is going to require so much work that I might as well modify mine?

    I honestly don't know. Buy it and try it, then we'll ALL know!

    No. Fire wall is too short...

    if the car wasnt my DD, i'd take the chance and MAKE it work one way or another. i think a RHD wagon build with ef9 front with the OEM fender mirrors, like full JDM replica would be fun

    and thanks! just saved $450. unless i go buy it and find a ef hatch shell for cheap. would give me something to do with my a6 after I swap in a z6

    yep firewall is way short.

    Lots of fab work.

    I sold my other rhd firewall to somebody on here but he made it work with lots of fab skills.

    I've got all the rhd stuff at my house ready to go just no time.

    alll of it? for a wagon? if you find you never have time, turn that lack of time into some money and sell it to me xD

    It is for an ef9.

    I have pretty much everything to make my hatch a rhd ef9.

    bumpers (front/ rear), spoon controller, spoon ecu etc.

    I think the only thing I lack is the bronze glass.
  • da9broda9bro Wagonist
    oooo :( but those spoon parts are so hard to find. I have such a spoon fetish. I almost bought a 450 dollar spoon racing crew jacket lol
  • rbwdrivenrbwdriven Senior Wagonist
    totally understand.

    I got some good deals on the spoon stuff so that has helped.

    One day it will I'm gonna restart that project just need to get my 89 si built.
  • what about the Jdm 4dr frontclip????

    The firewall for a wagon if I can remember is roughly 2" taller so anything you use RHD will have to be fabbed.

    The only one that is basically I'll call a straight shot is the jdm wagon.

    dont flame me for reviving an ooooold thread.....but im currently at this point....

    i have a '90 wagon and a '90 ef9 rhd clip....

    and yes, the wagon is 2" taller......BUT theres two parts to the firewall....

    wipers, and firewall......

    look for my thread where I try to explain my situation..... I believe it is possible....
