As the topic says, what front mount is a better option when replacing the front mount inter cooler but still using the same mounting style?

Basically wanna replace the stock one and bolt something the same back on using same mounting points but not 20 yrs old!

Any help would be appreciated!

What power does the car make?

If you're thinking of replacing it because of its age, it's a part that doesn't age so unless it's been smashed by rocks save your money.

Best fitment will usually be Japanese made items though. Of course that means spending more money than the kits you'll no doubt see on eBay etc.

Its Stock but has a bit of fin damage.

Ideally I would love to find a stocko that's in good nic but it's pretty much just to make it look better for re sale! Had it for 10+ years and its time to sell the old girl.

Have done alot of work to it interior wise getting it to look immaculate. It will be one for the enthusiast/ collector when it comes time to sell! :(

Just fix the fins? With a bit of time it can be done :)

Or just buy another 2nd hand one, usually sell pretty cheap and they are perfect for well over 350rwkw anyway so no point changing to something different.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
