Howie, mesh it i reckon.... if you dont mind hiding it then saves it from larges stones and debris as well as stealthy.

Here a couple of mine with the mesh...

RSPEC I've got a Trust Spec R-HG it uses the same piping as standard smic, yours looks to be a tad bigger maybe it is the Spec V i think? How much did it cost cause thats a easy way unless you got photos of it before going on.

Wanted something small and efficient for response.. the hybrid has a nice fin design which directs air in the front then comes out a regular core on the back. Apexi stopped production of these items so it's been pretty hard sourcing one for me. Anyhow so long as it works well to reduce heat soak i'm happy.

Howie,

How much has it set you back (I'm shopping for turn-flow FMIC now) if you don't mind sharing, PM if you prefer.

And what power level is it good for?

Very lovely 34 you got there (been pondering getting a 34 lately).

Cheers

Grant

totally getya. looks well made and seems to fit well. performance wise, its a good choice for response. i was just giving my opinon on the cosmetic aspect is all

Howie - paint the core! The end tanks make it look out of place; R34s deserve a big IC :) I hear your logic; but to be honest - even with my JJ FMIC under the 2.5L, response was pretty much the same as with the SMIC.

Might consider painting it down the track, but not really inclined to remove all that paint from the apexi core If I don't like it lol.

Oh btw, no cutting of the reo either :) So i've got a little room up top for my trans cooler.

bbtw, did you end up getting the rear diff for your car?

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
