Sorry for the delay guys..... Here are the pictures of the rotary controls. Rotate for gas/ push towards the dash for brake. both movements are very easy and effortless.

Hey man.. I JUST found this thread.. but it's nice to see you around here I actually have the same exact controls as you do!

Here is a link to my thread about my hand controls.. (it answers a lot of basic questions most people have)

https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/mod-i-think-only-i-have-hand-controls-92246/

a couple of tips -

If you're not careful your front right caster will hit under your door where you get in.. and will rub all the paint off in one spot and look BAD!

the bast way to put the chair in the back folded down - then put it face down with the casters pointed twards the front seat and the backrest hinge pointed tward the roof and the wheels stacked in between the chair and the front seat
(me and my girlfriend both have chairs and can ride comfortably everyday like that

you CAN fit 3 people in 3 chairs in the car.. but you have to have at least 1 in the trunk

try not to rub the wheels on the interior roof lining too much.. it leaves dirt streaks which SUCK to get off

i recently invested in a small palming spinner **** after 3 years of driving without one and I LOVE it!

This One



I also removed the little foot rest thing where your clutch foot goes when not on the clutch to give a little extra room for my feet

If you have any other questions hit me up.. or if you live in SoCal near LA we should hook up sometime..

I've notice that getting in can cause a rubbing problem, but I've fixed that problem with a minor position change. I've bought a small bottle of touch up and I'm looking into getting some transparent vinyl to put at the bottom of the door opening. I've been driving without a **** just fine, no trouble turning or multi tasking. I may look into the same **** just to try it out. I'm getting in and out of the car in just over a 1:30, so after many times trail and error I've got my way down. Ive have a few people in the car with the chair already and i like the challenge trying to get everything in the car. Also, I have a towel under the seat for those rainy days. i lean the chair on the door and spin the wheels and wipe down the tires before i put the chair in. I'm always trying to keep up with the dirt with armor all wipes every couple of days. I will keep you posted if I have any other concerns.
