Fmic Install

[heslo]

Hey guys and gals, just got a FMIC kit for my car a few weeks back and am planning to install it either this weekend or next. I want to know however, anyone out there done one of these before and want to give me a helping hand? I'm gonna need to cut under the washer bottle and would rather a keen eye from someone who's done it before just in case Of course they will be well looked after with food/beers/etc and maybe even some folding stuff (read: cash)

Anyone interested?

[sinistaGTR]

where do you live mate lol im keen prob for next weekend

[Nightcrawler]

I would help Luke, but am flat out this weekend, and if Port win tomorrow's game, will be in Melbourne all next weekend for the Grand Final. I am probably available the weekend after though. Duc is the expert in these matters and doesn't live too far from you - maybe fire him a PM.

Geez that was FAST, so many lovely helping hands on this board!

Dan, I live in Golden Grove...

Andrew, looks like it's gonna be next weekend anyways, something has popped up, I'll fire of a PM to Duc and see what the story is

If you didnt live on the other side of the world i would come and help.

LOL i just realised you drive ur car to Edwardstown to get it "sprayed" and you live like 10 mins from a good place up there.

Good luck with it all mate.

[heslo]

Lol "sprayed" is right Brento, I know what you're getting it. And there's an awesome place that I SHOULD have gone to, yes I know

[32 4whore]

As if u need help with the fmic anyway.

Your a smart CHap.

Pull old one out. Makr sure piping lines up and whack it on.

I took off my Reo Bar to make sure it didnt hit and bam it didnt. So reo back on.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTT YYYOOOOOOUUUURRRRRRRRRRSSSEEEELLLLFFFF

[heslo]

Yeah was gonna give it a go myself but the only thing I'm weary of is cutting underneath the washer bottle. If it was a direct replacement, no worries. But, since there are so many helpful peeps here on SAU I thought I might ask for a bit of help

[R33 S2]

there is a pic on here somewhere that shows exactly where 2 cut the hole. have u got that already?

[Nightcrawler]

Yeah sorry we are off to the Grand Final this weekend Luke - otherwise I would come help you for sure. I also have the appropriate size holesaw if you want to borrow it mate. Really isn't a hard job - you just line up by eye where you think the hole should go. In the end the silicone joiners give you tons of latitude to get it wrong and it won't matter as long as you are kinda close. You might have to shave your engine fan if the pipe hits too - use a stanley knife. You WILL need to trim the inside of your front bar - we used an angle grinder (watch out for molten plastic - Duc knows what I am talking about) - but a jigsaw would be easier.

Whiplash/Nick - thanks again for helping me do mine! You were tons of help - don't sell yourself short

[heslo]

That's cool Andrew, totally understand As for the holesaw, I beleive Ryan who is helping me out has all the tools to complete the job but thanks for the offer. I'm sure it is piss easy but still would rather a guiding hand to help out JUST in case
