You need the bumpers, the sideskirts, the seats, the dash board (RHD), the 5 lugs, a K20A2 (the A is ITR), 5 lugs, the heavy *** wheels, the brakes, the suspension, pull the excess weight out, the Union Jack flag emblem, Tail lights, headlights, sunroof delete (I think, there used to be no sunroof in the Rs)
I'm sure there's more, I just can't think of it without looking at the car.

Rep Power: 424 Come to think of it, theres a German Type R, thats LHD... so I guess all you need is the Steering wheel, the boot and **** and the cluster.

Rep Power: 432 You also need JDM rebars for Front and Rear bumpers.
OEM CTR spoiler need modifications to make it fit.
Our hatch is different than JDM hatches.
Interior parts.
Cluster, Shift boot, Shift ****, Cd player console, E brake Console, Seats.
Rear seats with no headrests.
Exterior
Mirrors
You also need to get rid of Front bumper lights.
Tailights are different too.
There are too many to list all specific parts.
