I have fitted my front mount and when put back together the bottom of the cooler sits three inches below the bumper( i intend to fit blob eye front with splitter anyway ) what i want to know is can i cut away the bumper support bar which its attached to so i can move it up another inch or two ??




The lowest point is 5 1/2 inches off the ground



cheers

Is that upside down??

i thought it was until i tried to fit it !!!! the pipe work clears all the metal work this way but not the other ??!!!


Also seen several fitted this way up so thats another reason i did it !!!!


Been told it makes no difference which way its mounted


tony

 

If thats a hybrid, it's definitely not fitted right mate. I've never seen one fitted that way up before. Suggest you speak to someone like Harvey on here who will tell you for sure.

looks like upside down to me aswell?

it looks like it should fit other way round and higher up behind the top grill,but this would mean getting rid of the bumper bar,would there be any other way of mounting it at the top if the bumper bar was not fitted?

what make fmic is it?

 

No idea on make was a ebay jobby !!! got it cheap so thought i would fit it , dont really want to cut the whole bumper bar off unless i know its ok too as i dont want to weaken the front end of the car

 

You have the wrong intercooler fella, that is for a classic not a newage car. The newage intercooler generally tend not to be as tall. View thread for correct type for a newage car

Well its on now !!!! Plus being bigger can only be a good thing , will either have to cut out the bumper support more or just have a low car !!!!!

 

Sell the core and source one that fits better ?
How are you going to make that look tidy ?

Or just chop themiddle section out of the bumper LOL

Gonna be doing a blob eye front end conversion and will have a splitter on it too to make it lower !!!

My last car had a wings west lower splitter on it and that was lowlow !!! So wondering if its worth moving it at all or just leaving it where it is and fitting the bits around it. I would make up a gaurd for it too



tony

 

You could try and move it up a bit and fit a spoiler...

spend a little more next time for something that actually fits properly:

Hybrid FMIC Kits - Subaru Impreza - best prices

 

haha it looks just wrong ya have so show me the finnish photo of car it defo looks upside down like marra

 

fit ur splitter and chop out the middle it will be unique and look mad as **** in the rear view (well thats what i did to 1 of my old classics dare to be different).

 

i have JDM bug eye , u have to remove or modify the bumper beam , Even with Turboxs FMIC still have to remove bumper beam , but it allows u to keep the fogs.

 

Never bought it got it in exchange for a down pipe, also found out its for a classic so ill be fitting it to my girlfriends classic and buying a new one !!!!!!

Turbo xs seems like a good buy though because you get the bumper bar with it




tony

 

Even for a classic that fmic is massive.

Mine does fit that way around and on the classic is a better fit than the ones that sit the other way around.
