FMIC fitting - rad hose in way?
 

Hi all, just looking before I start fitting my FMIC and it looks as though the lower rad hose will be in the way? It's a 1999 turbo 2000. Anybody had this issue?

usually loops round under and then up through gap you see between the chassis leg and your lower rad pipe

Thats what I thought, but when I offered the pipe up it didnt fit...

Without seeing the pipe work I couldn't tell you otherwise

Looks like you have a non-standard silicone lower radiator hose which is blocking the space. The standard Subaru rubber hose makes more of a right angle, and leaves more space for the FMIC piping. If your blue hose is long enough, you may be able to move it back off the metal a bit at one end - may have been pushed on too far, or be slightly too short.
