That's the first time I have seen the gauges of a jdm. those are freaking sick. How hard are they to change over or can it even be done. I have a LHD.

So if it comes with the key all I have to do is hook up a fuel pump right?

Thought id update for future readers I received my clip and it had the key glued into the ignition so it couldn be lost during shipping. All I had to do was put a battery in and and hook up a FUEL INJECTION fuel pump. Not a carburater pump. My fuel lines had been pinched so fuel couldn't leak out I used a pipe cutter so I had a nice clean line to hook a 5/8 fuel line too and just ran the return to the gas can. Then it fired right up. Nothin to it.
