Mention that it was totally stock as a rock when we bought it, since have added, cooling pro fmic, rims, pod filter, gauges and sound sys.

Next mods are exhaust, injectors, bigger turbo an tune bring on the power

You can almost see the evolution to the M35 in the front of your stag, very nice.

Cool, how much did that set you back?

I'm looking at buying a pod but are unsure which one I should get... I'm guessing they all do the same thing...

How much trouble was the cooling pro fmic to fit? Did it fit up to the stock SMIC pipes ok? Need to move horns/cut bumper etc?

The grill was black when i bought it and i dont think it was painted black either.

The FMIC was an absolute prick to install turned into a 2 night session, the pipes fit, but we had to make new brackets to mount the cooler on so it didnt sit at an angle, we got it so that we didnt have to end up cutting anything. we took off the air conditioning fan because the motor was too big and got in the way of the cooler and the horns were easily moved. Fits like a glove now but it was tedious to say the least.

ooh 'eck. not an easy fit to a series 2 then. think I might not go for the cooling pro fmic right away - i'd like to keep my a/c fan.

FMIC = good now i know how to put one on it, was a totally F***EN mission to begin so much for a easy session haha. but AC is working fine without the fan we will be putting on a thin davey craig or somthing soon when we get a chance for summer. I figure the the radiator one is drawing a fair bit through anyway

Cooler looks tops and is indeed very stealth even though it is polished silver.

Glad it turned out in the end. Matter of interest: have you got a series 2? and did you relocate your transmission cooler? if you didn't move your transmission cooler, do you think it would've made things easier if it had've been out of the way?

I can spot an S badge on rear, so no trans-cooler.

My R33 Greddy kit fitted fine, pipes perfect! horns relocated, reo skimmed, hole-sawed, heaps of room for A/c fan when i get one!

Love the grill!

Yeh its a manual. Um didnt want to trim reo bar as accident an insurance will most probs void it as i remember. Um AC works fine without it an we have had some hot days in last few weeks in bris. Grill looks mint black dunno are they meant to be chrome finish??

car goes good with more boost and specially at night with that cooler, works well good bang for buck upgrade
