Question

Does the rack get in the way? I saw pics and the left i/c hose comes under the front, maybe in the way?
Cheers

Hi Stelios,

I think the reason it will not fit is because the pipe coming from the N/S of the intercooler is part silicone/part metal.The metal part actually runs underneath the N/S header right across the point where the steering coupling would be on a LHD car.
I suppose it would be possible to get it to fit "if" you could get a new custom made piece of silicone hose.
Sorry its not good news.

Regards

Steve

Our intercooler plumbing routes over the engine...not under it....so the steering rack has no intercooler plumbing anywhere near it..

Email me a close up photo of your drivers side of the engine bay and I will be able to tell if there are any fitment problems there.

Where did u learn about APS developing a lhd kit? The thing that worries me is that i e-mailed APS and said Quote: I dont think fitting a lhd should be a problem Unquote. Now u telling me they are working on a lhd kit hmm should i jump to conclusions?

Hyperflow has similar piping and they also said that they *think* it will fit a lhd car. (They were very friendly though and adviced me on a turbo issue!)
