Is it really easy? I dont think so........ :-)
Differencies: dashboard, pedals, brake lines in the car, brake booster, different wiring (different position ECU, fuses, connectors on steering columns, heater, clima lines and fan, connectors for dash on other side, senzors and many others. It is not possible to obtain LHD wiring loom and its difficult to rebuild Sti loom (but only possible way). I cannot use any LHD wiring loom because STi loom is completly different (automatic clima never produced in LHD + clima is driven by ECU, different senzors in engine etc, etc. But the car is now in LHD starting and running. (I have about 150 parts from LHD and 380 cuttings on wiring loom (to make looms longer) :-)

We are converting a US '99 RS into a LHD STI IV. Currently, we are splicing the RHD Engine Harness into the LHD harness. Lots of fun

Check it out...
