I have a question for those of you who drive on the right-hand side of the car. On the left-handed transmission, is the shift pattern the same? For example, in the US, with a right-handed tranny, the shift pattern is:
1 3 5

2 4 R

Is that the same for a left-handed shift?
Thanks
Dan

 

its the same..........

 

Nice! I could see myself shifting with my left hand, but having to reverse gear patterns would totally mess me up.

 

that's nice

was there a real point to this? are you planning on importing a fd?

 

lol i wouldnt mind dealing with right hand drive if i could get my hands on a 02'

 

actually right hand side driving is much more natural than what we have here for right handed person.
So you can just steer naturally using the right hand for the right handed person, and shift with the left hand.

left hand side driving is more for left handed person.

 

 

Lefty shifters are weird...

 

How much does it cost to import an 02' FD from the great country of Japan?

 

alot and itll never be street legal......

unless you buy like ten of em and let the US crash 9

all you really need is a letter from mazda saying the 02 rx-7 is the same car as the 95 (cause last year imported)
and then you would just have to change the exhaust (and maybe the lights to pass import inspection)

BUT mazda wont give you the letter (i already tried) so you cant get it


OR you could just go ahead and buy one for show/track use and buy a wrecked rx-7 and swap vin numbers just don't get caught.

 

where'd you get 10?...try 3.

 

YUP!...ask me why I know

 

Uh, why??

 

he is in japan, they drive on the "RIGHT" side of the road. Meaning on the left, with the driver on the right.
You can control steering better using the right hand for right handed person.

I guess the ratio of lefty in US are much bigger than anywhere else in the world. Or the guy who founded this country are all lefties...
)) jk.

 

LOL...jerky
