So what you need to do is to "copy shortcut" the link to your already attached picture and post them in the body of the thread with "img" code around them.

the cushion prevents your knee from banging it on to the side during high G turns. It also sorta keeps your legs in place. I tend to lean my leg/ knee on the door panel.

one note though: on the right-hand drive rx-8, the e-brake gets in the way if the shifter. that has got to be annoying don't u think? I'm surprised why they didn't just move it to the other side.

Moving it would require all diffent brackets to route the cable down the trany tunnel and new holes for the bracket, as well as a new center console, ect to much cost. Usualy they just design things in a car (that will be sold as both RHD and LHD) to fit the market that will buy the most units. In my miata, LHD, the EBrake was on the left, so it was bettween my hand and the shifter, it doesnt stick up as high as the RX8 so it never affected shifting, but I liked it being there cause it was a simple, quick movent of the hand from the wheel to the shifter (downshift) and then pull the EBrake to slide around corners and such. I would use it when having fun sliding around to to turn a little understeer into quick oversteer. With the EBrake (LHD) on the right side of the car, its an extra effort to take my hand off the wheel, to the shifter (downshift) and then over farther to the EBrake and then all the way back to the wheel. It doesnt sound like much but its somewhat a hassle when your driving around a track (IMO) id love to be RHD or have it on the other side so I could use it more easily. I do like the way it sticks up, as its less of a reach down to pull it. The RHD market really is lucky to have it that way.

Taka said the knee pad is on the wrong side, in the JDM MSRX8's that I have seen there is a need pad on both the door and the center console on the drivers side, and non on the pass. Since they are both made for each side (the logo) but are the same size, you could adapt them both for the driver (or pass) side of a RHD car. I think they are neet and at least want to get the centerconsole side one, when i get the MS seats!
