Noob question probably lol: but are the gears in the same location on a RHD car? Or are they Reverse?

My guess is there the same?

anyways back on topic, thats got to be extremely hard shifting with your left hand...

Actually ended up learning something from this thread, didn't know the turn signal and wiper controls were flipped, but it makes sense as you wouldn't want the turn signal controls on the same side as the shifter. Never thought I'd learn something from this thread judging by the original post haha.

Another misconception is that the shift pattern is reversed as well when, in fact, it's in the same position....this thread fails regardless.

i never really thought about it, so 1st gear is the furthest from the driver? you watch shows like Top Gear and they go back and forth between LHD and RHD with no issue,

OP take a pic of your car, then look at your pic through the reflection of a mirror.

Instant RHD

EDIT: since this thread has nothing technical related to the actual HR motor it has been moved....
