huge thanks to big_dave and dvs-b4 for sorting it for me / putting up with my retard'd-ness when it came to helping lol...

bigger thanks for doing it in the rain and wind...

Can i ask where you got your front mount kit and what size your FMIC is? and just to clarify it didn't come like that lol? (chops and joins everywhere)

Mine needed similar treatment but i thought it was cause i'm fitting a gc8 kit to a be5

[Ninja8)]

Regarding the FMIC...she purchased her kit from redline as stated below above and im guessin its 300x600

in relation to "fitting"..in my own opinion. im sure that all kits arent a str8 bolt on like the sellers say they are. i mean there definitely has to be a bit of cutting or some sh1t to make it fit. unless u were to custom make the piping then thats a different story,.

nehow pics of me gauges as requested:

just to let you know we only actually cut the supplied kit in 2 places - where it was approx 3-4cm too short / to make it fit nicer... - this was on the sides at the front of the car.

the kit itself has some neat welds in it where they obviously couldn't bend / angle the kit without them... they are very tidy and well made. the redline kit is modeled off the hks kit, it comes supplied in 4 big pieces, we ended up with 6... not a major if you ask me as we only needed to cut to add afew cm in length. The cooler is 600 x 300 - but the cooler im using isnt the one that came with the kit - we are saving that for another special project.

hopefully this all makes sense... and doesnt come across as a bitchy reply - because its not.

haha sweet as. better than the dsr ones then...

Intercooler looking good..

are you certing it now or are there more mods pending??

[Swindog]

Prob not a good idea to let the oil pressur gauge sing to max out like that. youll stuff the clock spring.
