US vs. JAPAN FC3S
what are the differances between the US spec FC's and the Japan spec FC's? Other then the obvious such right hand drive and different mirrors.

japanese rx7's steering wheel is switched. plus you will have to learn how to drive stick shift with your left hand. Also, most japanese people drive japanese rx-7's due to the fact that there are a lot of japanese people in japan. wheras in america, there is a diverse group of people that drive american rx-7's.
