Looking good, roll on the 30th we should both be grining like cheshire cats ;)
I think you should say a BIG thank you to Jenn for putting up with all the sh1te over the last couple of weekends :) Bryan |
I don't know much about front mounts but top marks to you... that's a really tight fit under there and it looks great :thumb:
Now time to sit back and let the skin grow back on your hands I bet ! Simon :D |
Looking good :thumb:
|
Marc - Cheers fella :)
Simon - Oh god the pain I went through to get that to fit :eek::eek: Cut's, bruises & definate burns from hot angle ground metal :D:D Brian - deffo fella. Especially that weekend where I couldn't get the bumper back on again :D. Yeah I dunno how she didn't leave me that weekend after spending every hour of it in the garage :D:D Roll on the 30th ;) BTW what is it about fitting a FMIC that makes your scoob's wastegate sound like an angry horse? :D:D Does it after every gear change now & it still makes me smile every time :D MAFFA |
Looks quality mate :)
Good to see some old home DIY on a car as well..... makes the experience all the more interesting, part of the fun |
Cheers fella :). Basically ordered it, made some mistakes, ordered some more parts to cover myself, played around over a couple of weekends and then fitted all the pipework today :) The FMIC was already in place from about 2 weeks ago when I did it so the hard bit was out of the way :) I gave myself a month to get it & fit it before my next re-map so thankfully it wasn't a rush job like most are :)
More interesting for me...yes...for the misses...hell no!!! :eek::eek: I had some serious appologies to make :(. She's getting used to me saying "it won't take long" and then the unforseen happens and a whole weekend is gone :D:D LOL MAFFA |
Lol..... ah welll the effort looks all worth it mate.
Is she going on the rollers to see the change with the remap etc....? |
Definately :) Mine was a bit of a freak beforehand running 296BHP with just an exhaust & induction. Then a Scoobyecu chip pushed that to 311BHP...on a UK Car :eek:
Be interested to see what the Apexi Power FC, AVC-R, FMIC, Headers, STI block etc...etc... have done :) I'll prob take a spin down to Scoobyclinic or something :) MAFFA |
excellent fmic

ooops sorry maffa did`nt mean to steal your limelight with my reply, still new to this posting thing!
|
Thanks for the great pic's, they should help me when I come to fit mine, which should be here next week,
Where did you buy the extra hose's and mesh from??? |
I had the mesh already & I can't remember where I got it from as it's been on there for ages. Had to modify it a little when I cut the bumper back some more :)
The hose I got from a nebay shop here http://stores.ebay.co.uk/quality-sil...toreviewQQtZkm There's nothing in it at the moment as he's in the States visiting suppliers for the next week or so. Very reasonably priced and just as good as Samco. I did need to get the Samco bit for the dump valve from Rally Design as he didn't have the size I wanted in stock. http://www.raldes.co.uk/ MAFFA |
Very nice :D
Tony. PS YHM Matt. |

N how does the power differ generally with a FMIC compared to a TMIC cheers guys n again MAFFA, top job mate |
Mate i've no idea about the power thing but I got it verified at two seperate rolling roads just to be sure and the results were within 1BHP of each other. Nobody could explain it & everyone was well shocked (most of all me) at the result :D
TBH i've no idea what the difference is between this & HKS. I think you'd need to speak to someone who's done some real extensive testing of them both and is a bit more technically minded than me. I just bolt the bits on :D LOL. From my point of view the difference was easy......£800 :D;) MAFFA |
lol still looks cool,
n regarding the power i was a little reluctant to ask the question in case i sounded a little daft lol |
Cheers fella :)
And I wouldn't say you looked daft....I think anyone would ask the same question....including me :D:D Just don't have any answers :D:D MAFFA |

very nice Maffa ;)
Those chromed pipes are well tarty! :D |
Well y'know ;):D

Top job - the FM looks absolute quality!! How much was the FMIC kit from ebay if you don't mind me asking and did you have to do any welding?
Do you have any idea where your front bumper is from or was it already on the car when you bought it? I've been looking for something like that (with the number plate recess) for ages! Cheers. Ben |
Looks good mate, i'm not to sure about having to cut the front panel.
|
Ah, the memories, especially cutting the bumper - definately a once in a lifetime experience :D. Great results though, looking good :thumb:
|
Cheers for the comments guys :)
Definately a one time job :eek: Angle grinding, dremmeling, hammering, bending, sawing....it goes on :D:D Fortunately though no welding required :) Ben - The front bumper is a standard MY95 one with all the centre cut out and meshed up :) The front splitter is an MRO one but as you can see from the last two pics it was designed to fit snug in the recess & rest on the bumper. When i'd trimmed it all back it sat about 2 inches above the bumper in the recess which is why you can see the additional mesh down the bottom which is to stop stones and god knows what else doing down there :D:D MAFFA |

Look good and looking forward to tweaking that map :)
