saved from the wreckers

I like the yard, looks to be clear of dirt, dust, mud and doggy doo. RX looks like a good find, much the way my Project Cheap Grief was rescued from a wrecker. No bonnet, bumper, cooked motor to extent timing belt covers drooped on their bolts, faded. Came with AutotecnicA wheel, 4WD, leaky auto.....

Those buttons on the wheel - cruise control?

Your pics? Did you hold the neg around the wrong way coz the drivers wheel , it's in the wrong spot. Nah, seriously, we have heat slide on the inner binnacle too so operate heat slide and wipers and gear selection with left hand, where it looks like you guys need right

I'm guessing you've never been to a country that has LHD cars before?

About the only country I know of where the LHD car doesn't have the indicator stalk near the door is South Korea, where because they're isolated & they export cars to the RHD countries in the area, they use the RHD column on the LHS of the car.
Similar to the UK, where because they're the only RHD country in Europe, all cars are built with the indicator stalk on the LHS.

If you look at other features of the car, you'll find that the pedals are still in the same order (still can't figure out how the clutch works), the gearshifter has the same pattern, often the handbrake is not moved (which for Subarus works for our advantage), but the ignition key is on the centre side of the car (away from the door).

RHD is not the norm for cars in the world, most of our stuff is adapted from the LHD version.

A labor of love it sounds like, and I like the projects name. It did come with a kenwood stereo..ours have the volume on the left so at a moments notice we can crank it up:) on the wheel..Yep, cruise This car is taged gl 10 on the trunk lid, 5 spd pb 3.70..wish it was a rx, but looks like one.

lol, yes, it would be strange for me to hop in a rh drive rig, maybe as strange as you hopping in mine:) I do think my cars are faster because I can MASH my gas pedal to the floor boards without a wheel well getting in my way:)

Wheel well isn't in the way on the RHD. The pedal is further in than that. I'm thinking more the same with your clutch pedal, but you've prob got a footrest on the wheel well.
