FMIC fitted at last...
I've been on annual leave for the last month so have had to find some way of keeping out of trouble. Bought a load of toys for the car (sorry about the pics...I was too lazy to get the proper digi cam out and just used my phone ) 
:
To replace the already upgraded TMIC:
Took some cutting of body work though:
Hmm, engine ****....and the new Apexi induction kit:
Don't need that huge scoop anymore!
So replaced it with this to help vent the heat:
Needs meshing to stop something hibernating in there I think!
And added some rally flaps to stop the burning rubber knocking an unsuspecting pedestrian out:
Got a few finishing touches (Nissan 300ZX TT airflow meter) before getting the engine management set up again by Andy F on 28th March.

Looking good. 
Very Tidy install.
Interested to know why you have used Silicone hosing after the battery area, to throttle body??? Is it Not the Hybrid kit?

The whole install was a nightmare and took a lot of cutting and head scratching. The angle grinder is my new best friend
I am glad it has come together reasonably well though and it was a good job I had 5 weeks off work!

I now have a dump valve T piece directly after the 90degree section from the throttle body. The whole install was a nightmare and took a lot of cutting and head scratching.

. Yes, I was apprehensive about taking an angle grider to my car but nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that! I did consider using my original square number plate over the fog light cover, evo style, but I think I prefer the smaller plate.
I've a picture of Danny's car with an Evo style plate if you want me to post it.

Just a quick update....had a remap but still need to fit the new injectors and Nissan 300ZX MAF. Andy F managed to eek a little more out of the original injectors by upping the fuel pressure for now - boost is now 1.4bar - up from 1.25. It is much quicker now dispensing the 60-100 in 6secs - down from 7.45secs. 0-100 is just under 10secs. Added a few finishing touches to the bodywork by changing the small plate again to Evo style offset plate. This was because I was collecting £30 fines 
. Changed the rear spoiler for something a little more subtle but I can see people not liking it, not that I care - I think it's cool anyway
Enjoy (sorry about the quality - phone cam):

Thanks Ian and yes, I was planning on removing the subaru logo's from the flaps tomorrow when I wash it. I may remove the mesh in front of the i/c and spray it but I am sick of taking the bumper off....I was going to do it initially but never got round to it as I just wanted it finished. Maybe when the weather's nice

Thanks Paul! A big thanks for fitting the spoiler and ironing out my little blemishes in the bodywork. I am really happy with the results! Shame about your little mishap though

Looking good mate!
The vent from ets on the website has my car on it! I got the first prototype to test for them. It has been working brilliant for a while now. Good luck to you and the new look!
Where did you get the boot spoiler?
