Need Exact Location of Cigarette Lighter Socket Pictured
Hi, my RX-8 is scheduled arrive in NZ on Oct 20, 2003. I've got Escort 8500 radar detector and am going to use cigi lighter socket to deliver power to the 8500. Could someone post the picture of the lighter socket location on RIGHT SIDE DRIVER POSITION RX-8? I want to make sure the power cable dose not run thru the control buttons (radio, a/c, etc). Thank you.

But if you are accustomed to driving English and other RHD cars, then I guess it wouldn't matter that much to you.

Why? I think it would be hell to drive, with shifting and all. I know I wouldn't be as smooth rowing the gears.....

The novelty of a RT hand drive car in the States is just that a novelty. I'm not saying that some people wouldn't relish the idea and have no problem adapting. I am saying without trying it first be careful what you wish for. :D

RT Drive Story
I had the opportunity to drive a RT hand driver Ford Contour when I was over in Dublin a couple yrs back. It works when you're driving on the left side of the road, but I would think it would be a real pain here in the USA. Also, you shift the same pattern with either model. Remember that your left hand wants to do a mirror reflection of what your right hand does, so you want to shift in a mirror image of what your right hand does (which is opposite of the actual shift pattern). I really had to concentrate on my shifting or I would be starting out in 5th gear instead of 1st. You drive a LFT hand version of the car in the USA for a reason.....just enjoy!
