Fitting FMIC behind Series 1 stock frontbar

[Sciby]

Hi guys,

Has anyone had any success with fitting an FMIC behind the stock bar of a series one R33? This is the 93/94 bar, not the 95 bar.

EG:

I don't paticularly want to change to a big front bar, I like the way it looks now, and I don't need a massive IC, just something to help out and let me run a bit higher boost.

Any suggestions or experiences would be helpful.

cheers

Sciby.

Hi Sciby

I had the origional bar on when I first got my fmic The fitters had a lot of problems because it has to fit inbetween the fog/ind lights. I ended up with a custom job from ARE 630x300x75. to fit it the guys mangled the inner attachment points for the fogs so I had to bodgie up some brackets to fix them in. Later on I had a look at the installation and by dropping it 3/4 of a inch it would have fitted ok and in fact does so in my current big bar.

So a slightly smaller ic or cleverer fitter should have no problems. link is to Photo 350Kb sorry

I should mention Richard at ARE just made the ic did not do the pipework or fitting

I had to ditch the upand down spoiler at the front too....no room for the motor though I'm sure that with ingenuity you could keep that too

I just finished mine which is a 95 model but it has the same front bar you have.The FMIC is 600x300x75 plus end tanks.I had to do alot of cutting of the plastic (mainly the bottom section) to get it in there but it fits and in the end i cut the bar that holds the number plate so it would flow more air,i didnt have to though.The bottom of the cooler sits level with the bottom of the front bar.

Like you,i didnt want to change my front bar cause i like the one i got.

I have no pics as yet.
