Hi I have brought a redtop nova, and basically i think the engine is mounted in a wrong way, its very very close to the front of the car, and right much to the left when looking at it, i have seen pictures of a redtop nova engine bay , and they have alot more space than mine,

its all sat ok and there is no problem but iam just a bit iffy with it ,

What shud i do ?
THIS is the best pic i have right now as iam at work

It Cannot be too far left, else it would be humping the chassis leg, it looks forward but then it looks straight.

Id bet the car has been crashed.

Any more pics of the car? I might know it.

Is the front supposed to curve as it goes to the right?
