Just a question regarding the fitment of the FMIC, is it possible to fit it so that there is no need to cut the Reo bar with the parts provided? i have been having troubles getting the core of the intercooler to be as far right as possible utilising the brackets provided.

if you have any experience with this would appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance.

It can fit without cutting your reo, BUT, I had to trim my chassis rails that hung about 25-40mm past the radiator support. Basically made the rails sit flush with the radiator support and allowed enough room for the core to sit in a position that I didnt need to cut the reo.

I ended up trimming it anyway as I bought some s1.5 foggies and then became a head ache.

Lol what? You trimmed the chassis rail ends? Thats about a billion times worse then trimming the reo.

Anyways on most from mounts you have to trim the support and the bar a little.

Yeah go ahead and trim the chassis rails like someone suggested. Who cares about the structural integrity of the car....

Chances are you will have to trim the reo a bit mate. Dont be discouraged, it doesnt make much of a differene as you will only have to take off a few mm. I had to do it on mine. You'll be fine.

thanks all for the replies, will be cutting today, spent ages fiddling with the brackets seeing if there anyway to get it back enough. no way! hahah.

appreciate it, so in a nutshell you pay more for the return flow as it minimises the amount you have to cut.

cheers all!

Bahaha tell me how 30mm of overhanging metal is effecting the structural integrity of the car? :no:

OP here is a pic of mine where I trimmed the ends to allow the core and brackets to sit closer and not require trimming of the reo..

      New Honda prelude at Goodwood

      Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.

      The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)

      Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.

      E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
