How difficult is it to drive on the right hand side?

[Hondaz4LYF]

I just purchased a '94 hatch and I'm thinking of going all out JDM on it with the RHD conversion and everything....but before I do anything I just was wondering if anyone knows exactly how difficult the transition is from driving on the LHD to the RHD

Also if anyone has a RHD car or has drove in one before to tell me how it feels etc.

doubt it'll be that hard... try shifting from the passenger seat and let a buddy take control of the wheel/clutch... i guess thats the hardest part? switching shifting hand?

 

[Shiznit]

thats the only thing thats different. your shifting with your left hand instead of right. the gear order stays the same, your clutch is still on the left...

it isn't hard at all. one of the first manuals i drove was a rhd. you can look up my for sale threads if you want, i've sold a couple rhds on here. i think you should be used to it within about minutes or so.

Easier if your switch handed like myself or left handed, but I doubt it could be that hard, and I've never really looked but I'm gonna go with Shiznit that the pedal pattern is the same.

start masterbating with your left hand... it'll get you prepared.

so the gears are still the same...it doesn't switch over so that first gear is closer to you..?

Nope, the JDM ITR tranny that's in my brothers car is the same gear pattern.

Hey MOds QUESTION : Why is this thread in interior audio electronics???? Just a reminder in case YOU GUYS missed it

 

[Sundown]

Ive driven a rhd 240 and it wasnt that bad, except for the fact that my left hand sucks, and that I missed gears because of it

yup, dont believe me watch swordfish lol

Oh yes, I have viewed that movie many, many times

I'm asking a question on driving on the right hand side...so....it deals with the interior of the car.....

Unless you suggest I put it in the EFI Tuning section...

Simple to drive one! I drive one all the time with no problems.

Besides shifting with your left hand, I think the Wiper switch is on left, Signals are on right.

 

[mymmeryloss]
