Where did you get the fmic? If it's missing a bit send it back?
I bought a cheap ebay one for my old my99 type r but got the one with the alloy finish pipes rather than the chromed alloy. It fitted fine, despite everyone saying it'd be a nightmare. Was it the correct one for your year etc?

Might help, this is the right pipework for your year. As I said, mine was ebay special and went on fine. I did use normal decent jubilee clips in the final fit as the clamps that came with it were not good enough (despite looking like ey would be)

Had a really wet day but the small jobs still need to be done.
I fitted the areocatch pins today as i sold my steel bonnet and purchased an alloy one it was quite easy doing this job on my own as the bonnet weighs next to nothing .
So after marking out on the front slam panel where i wanted the studs to be mounted i located a reasonable position with the rubber stops and carefully marked round them ready for a pilot hole 5mm.
I then drilled these holes with a 12mm as this is the centre of the catch pin so making the marking out bit on the bonnet easier and should be a perfect fit and its there or there abouts so bonnet is now ready for paintas you can see.
Bonnet can now go in for paint having it matt black with 95h blue reverse scoop and blue bonnet vents to break up the colour a bit should look ok i hope !

I had the same, it reqd the pipes cutting and welding to get the fit anywhere near a good fit, plus I had to fabricate suitable mounting brackets to stop it rattling about.........

Oh if you havn't already thought about it get a fuel swirl pot and external pump. Its a must if your off out on track, mine used to splutter with anything less than half a tank.
