Default PL GT35R kit on a RHD car??? Help!

Guys im looking at trying to fit a PL kit to my UK spec RHD car. I have PM'ed GTM and intense and have not got a reply yet.

Ive read all the threads on the PL builds done by forum members on here. I know its gonna be hard to guess if it will fit but what im after is pic's of the US cars engine on the down pipe side and any other info on how the US cars are different from the UK spec?

If any one who has fitted this kit can add what causes the biggest problems for clearance on the kit then this would help alot!

Thanks Guys for the help.

ya mate, some issues. looks like i must relocate the starter and maybe loose the a/c. will post a pic tonight. i think a LHD starter must be located on the right side.

with all the mods you're gonna have to make, you may just want to convert your car to LHD. :-)
