No, it is left hand drive. As I understand it, most imports sold in Japan are left hand drive. There are high taxes on non-Japanese right hand drive cars sold in Japan in order to protect their domestic manufacturers. Also, driving a left hand drive car in Japan is a bit of a status symbol, sort of like the RHD JDM guys in North America.

Thanks for all the appreciative posts!
I did think about putting 968 handles on it, but I do quite like the Porsche scripted ones it already has. Might swap them sometime soon though - we'll see.
LOL - if I'd known you would be so picky I'd have washed the car first! There is also some carbon splatter on the bumper around the exhaust - all just shows it gets used!
I bought them from a guy called Richard Marsden who is (or was) on the Titanic Forum in the UK. In fact I think they were the first pair he made.
Here is a link to the site he subsequently set up - I think he still sells them from here but I'm not certain. They are good quality if he still makes them.

No splitter for me. Love the look, but will never get it on even the tilt-bed trailer as low as it is. Besides it would need paint, so I would have to score a euro front bumper cover and eliminate the park lights...... then fill the rear park lights, then euro rear and fill holes, then might as well do a full repaint, then my checkbook officially starts to smoke
Thanks Porshhhhhh - polished fuchs do it for me bigtime!
As pictured we ran SORC open road race event (hence the numbers)
Still sees plenty of street, but more and more track events/ time. I have refused to full cage the car as that makes is such an PITA for street duty.
As is it can run most open road events, and "fun" rally type events.
Thanks 333! - think it is just the camera angle and good lighting. Car rarely photos as low as it really is and the red always seems to wash out. For these shots it was overcast about 30 mins before dusk.
