Just a quick update on some progress made on the engine tuning side of things. Knowing that I'd be installing an fmic i thought it would be a good idea to cut away all the bars on the front bumper to let as much cool air hit it as possible. Also while the front bumper was off a lined up the fmic core to measure for the brackets i would be fabricating later on to ensure that it sits nice and straight and solid.

FMIC Test Fit


My new silicone hoses arrived from Forge Motor sport that i will be using for the fmic piping and the new air filter relocation i have planned. I've done a quick mock up of how the turbo and intake piping will fit together but i think the alloy 90 degree bend will need to be cut down slightly to allow the filter to sit nicely behind the front grill.

Air Intake System


Another not so important part arrived which was my Xenon LED sidelight's to hopefully match up with the HID kit i had installed a few months back. The crappy yellow coloured sidelight's just don't cut it against the HID's. I love buying the little subtle things the most because they can actually make a car if done right.
