450 quid for an apexi FMIC seems abit cheep to me.

The Greddy one I read about on nasioc - major bumpercutting and you lose the lights. I'm sure the thread comes up on a google.

IIRC TweenieRob was running the Apexi on his 450+ BHP WRX he sold the other week.

I have just purchased a couple of items from flat4online myself, can't fault the service.

Just to add - I've got a Hybrid from Harvey for £565, didn't know about these 2 at the time, but if I were to choose from these 3 I'd still go Hybrid due to all the positve reports from users on here. Thats not saying the others are no good though!

do u mean a hybrid fmic from harvey?????? so they good then.... are they on his website and do u have any pix???

can u keep the front lights and how much bumper do u lose???

for all info on the hybrid, see

Hybrid is/was also on Ebay... 2 I think with buy it now around the £375 mark

1. The trust kit needs major cutting. The ebay seller for that one is great to deal with though wouldn't have a problem dealing with him

2. Its not an apexi kit its a OBX kit which needs slighty altered to fit as there for new age cars orginally. Again flat4online are great to deal with.

3. hybrid one ebay is £375 buy it now but its £180 for postage to the uk then add your import duty. so its not really that cheap

4. I bought a hybrid from harvey excellent to deal with. Great product and i'm looking forward to pushing the limits of it with my new engine next year.

WoH! didn't spot the postage thing on the Hybrid.. thats does make a slight difference.

Does it get flown over on Concorde....Oh! forgot there not flying anymore.

I know the guy selling this one:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....mMakeTrack=true

He imports from Japan, and has no technical knowledge...so beware if something is incomplete…he wont be able to help much.



I bought my AVC-r of the guy, and paid more then it should have been and took ages to get here…then he felt bad so he offered me some stuff for free to make up for it…was being extremely nice, then I left him a feedback for the AVCr and never heard from him since..! :mad:


Ps: If you can stretch your budget get a HYBRID from Harvey....as i had afew problem fitting and the thread in Projects really helped :thumb:

your link don't work. Was it a guy called Rich aka jdminxs by any chance??? I bought my apexi power fc and hand controller from them last week it has arrived and everything seems ok and it was a fantastic price.

Rich thats it...

Nice guy..i actually stressed the urgency of the avcr, and paid exta £30...£290 rather then £260.

was also once in talks with him for a bulk buy of the Greddy fmic's...we agreed all the price's suddenly i never heard from him again..

Saying that i have bought other things from him, though never again after this...

Just to confirm that with my FMIC kits you retain the fog lights/PIAAs etc and also the air con.

You dont loose the lights when fitting a Greddy one either (classic shape that is), mine are still in place and not too much cutting required.

ritch is a sound bloke, bought a power fc and commander at a great price, seemed like a genuine guy. i asked him about a group buy on the power fc's but he said he doesnt do them anymore due to being let down in the past.

Greddy kit seems like a good deal, can you retain aircon as well as the driving lights ? any other comments and/or pictures of the install ?

madou - I dont see why not on the aircon front the pipes shouldnt foul on anything. I dont have air con so dont quote me on that.

I found gettin the pipes in the right order to begin with was harder than it sounds!

If you want pics pm me.

The second link to me seems like the intercooler is no bigger than a TMIC. Whereas harvey's offering has a huge intercooler. I know which I would go for :D
