FMIC
Hi all,
i'm interested in the TMIC group buy, but i 'd just like to gauge your responses, as to whether i need one or not.
my car is standard at the moment, its an MY99 and i want to get it to around 350/350.
i will be doing the usuall decat, turbo and remap, will be putting EL headers on as well. will this be a required mod i know there is other stuff i need as well but this would be a good buy if it will fit in with what i need.
any comments valued, i just want to avoid wasting cash on stuff i dont really need

Damn group buys....wheels last week, fmic the next lol....
I'm in the same boat - essentially, what are the pro's of having the fmic over the sti8 tmic?
At what point does it become more desirable to go to a fmic?
I've got an sti V5 and going the same decat and remap route + maybe odds and sods but will i need to fmic???
I'm getting a better clutch anyway cos mine is on the way out so that shouldn;t limit things to much until it gets silly...

will i notice any difference in driving chosing the FMIC over the TMIC?
Bob,
i was under the impression that the gearbox on a MY99 would just about cope with this power level? i guess i'm wrong, what is it safe to? i dont need it as a daily driver i just wanted a very quick road car (and occasional track thrown in for good measure)with bigish torque.

Mine didn't last long at 340/340, which I was well aware of before going ahead with it.
At that sort of level with hard use there was only really a couple of gearbox options, both of which are £2k+.
You may need to re-evaluate your goals, or budget for a stronger box.
