I promised pics of the front end so here they are.

Will do one massive thread when i get more pics and everything is sorted over the next few weeks.

Right, this is the car straight off the trailer with nice new engine in it. The bits that are missing are hiding in the shed.



MR Postman then delivers my nice new shiny front mount intercooler.



I set to work, removing the standard top mount intercooler.


Decide to get the core mounted and the drives side pipework done first.



Now its time to get the rest of the pipes in under the bonnet. This was a mission.



Thats it, we are all done, quick test run for a few miles and it appears i have no leaks so the next job is to get the bumper, splitter, lights and grill back on.





All finished, and looking and sounding mean.
Looks a damn sight better then this now................

Looks spot on, where did you get the kit from as i have been thinking of getting one myself. Also how hard was it to fit and did you have to cut any of the metalwork.

I agree with the above. Lose the stickers and really let people know about the FMIC
Its personal choice of course, but I`d love to see it naked

You could always put a nice logo on the FMIC ( i did ) and im on the fence as regards to stickers

Got the kit off flat four online, easy enough to fit, had to trim a pipe and cut a slot out the inner wing and a few bits of metal off the bottom of the slam panel but nothing major and nothing the dremmel couldnt cope with. Have to lose quite a bit out of the bumper though thats the only thing.

Great pictures.

My mate has just bought a FMIC for his Type RA, He didnt have a clue how to fit it, but Ill send him this thread and it might give him a clue where to start.

If you don't mind me asking mate, what did the fmic cost? Looks the business to me, great job.

£450 from flat four online.

It is a tidy bit of kit.
