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...

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

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!!!!!
