just on my mind

i was thinking. For the people that the steering wheel is on the right side. Is the gas still on the right foot? the clutch on the left or is everything messed and moved around. How about that handbrake too? is it on the opposite side to ya?

Nope, the handbrake is in the exact position as ours. The pedals perform the same function as ours.

no, the gas is still on right and clutch in still on left, and the manual stick is still facing the same direction, handbrake on rx8 will always be right of the trans stick

Yup, thats correct - pedals and handbrake are laid out in the same way.

BTW, which side of the steering column is your indicator stalk on? Ours is on the right. Wondering whether Mazda bothered to configure the stalks for left and right hand drive cars.

Okay, I'll bite... what's an indicator stalk? [Edited almost immediately to say " ok, the turn signal arm, sorry the terminology "stalk" was new to me." For left-hand drive cars, it's on the left. Wipers are on the right.]
