GReddy Front Mount Intercooler

Just make up a fully custom one, thats what i'm doing, it'll look better than most of the half arse kit ones too. Isn't Hardwarebob doing a custom one too?

Just going to buy a HDi Kit, unless anyone has a better idea - I don't have a welder and haven't done much welding before, and can't justify it to do a FMIC kit.

surely it won't be that much to get a local shop to do it? That way you can atleast get a core that fits under the bumper beam. Makes sense with the prefacelift spec b bumper which is Super wide and short.

I'm currently in the process of redoing my FMIC. Flipped core and custom fab new piping to suit JDM spec b bar. The aim is to keep it as close to factory finish as possible

the only issue i have is the factory crash bar delete, does anyone know of any places that make a fmic replacement?

cheers

The one I made up works perfectly with the stock crash bar, none of this illegal shit

any pics??

No final ones with the bumper removed but it hasn't changed at all other than that the joins are now welded, not taped.
Lost the bottom plastic bumper support beam, not a crash beam like the top one, just for bumper support, which taylor managed to keep. Only possible negative is the bottom of the core is perfectly in line with the bottom of the bumper so without the STI lip some of the pipework clamps may be visable. But with it you'd never know. No need to cut fog light housings or mesh to get the pipework fitting like with most.
