Shift pattern doesn't change between RHD/LHD. So, first gear is usually top left.

Because I'm a RHD noob.... the pedals are in the same place too, right? Reversed pedals would be craaaaaaazy.

yeah, the peddles are the same order. that would blow my mind if they were backwards...

Post by **stipud** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 7:36 am

Yes... but the turn signal and wiper control stalks are reversed. So the first time you drive RHD, you will probably turn on your wipers every time you turn a corner

GORGEOUS car by the way McC. The S3 has to be one of my faves... at least until they release the RS3

Now that's going to be a HOT hatch!

shift pattern is 1st top left.

RS3... Well we'll see

Its getting an ECU upgrade soon.

The car is nearly complete. Just gotta do some tidying and re-do the doorbuilds. Its not soudning too bad either... I'm a bit slow when it comes to tuning

But I'll get there.

I got a left hand drive '63 Impala that I drive here in Australia (which is of course RHD). Now that shit can get scary, like being behind a prime mover on a two lane open road and pulling out to overtake!!!!!

Holy install skillz Batman! Dude, that is the perfect install for that ride! Very nice indeed. Did you fabricate the beauty rings or did you buy them? Those tweets with the finishing rings look killer. Well, I think Im going to drool over your pics one more time.
