dude welcome to 2001....

SP engineering done FD. The picture was transposed and it was printed in the magazine like that. Reason? who knows... most likely a mistake. IIRC it was a TURBO mag article.

Edit- yup here's the article:

The headlight are old C-West kit.



The "reverse" engine is because it was made for a RHD FD. Old JDM mod.

Yup, it was just flopped in photoshop or the layout program—RHD cars don't have mirror-image manifolds. A lot of times, designers like to have the composition pushing inward on the page of a publication, so you'll flop a photo so that a person isn't staring off the page or something—but in this case, you can't quite get away with that.

This happens occassionally with mass printing. If the negative is flipped over by mistake the left and right sides will be reversed.
