compliments to Renzokuken(Jake) for hookin' it up with this badass FMIC

show me some love. let me know what you guys/gals think.

[strytnyne]

looks badass

[coyfish]

Looks great. Seems so easy to install, funny how it still takes a few hours.

how long did it take you and how does it feel ???

[SPEEDYHANS]

the intake pip gos all the way into the turbo or do u still need a turbo intake

[logik816]

the install took about 6hrs. including taking everything out and some minor modification of the bumper.

the one thing i like about the corksport FMIC is that it comes with a turbo inlet and coverts your TMIC into an intake.

for the price you pay, it comes with almost everything. bov on its way. :D

[oaklandopen]

loving the hood!!!!

[logik816]

thnx. i seem to be the only one sporting that style. always nice to be standing out for something that looks good. (lol2)

[mr_mazda329]

Sweet man. The whole car is now even more badass. Jake is a good guy and has hooked me up in the past too. Good install and good pictures.

[logik816]

i agree. jake is a great guy. when i saw his FMIC set up, i said i would do mine the same way. long and behold, i ended up inheriting it. lol.

[Donas64]

wicked

[logik816]

wicked

like the musical? (lol2)

[justanothermp5]

take that grill off and let everybody see what ur packin!!!! lol

[logik816]

hmmm... i was thinking about painting the core blk and give it that sleeper look.

now i'm not sure wat i should do. hmmm...

[mr_mazda329]

Black out the core.. do it. Super sleeper

[Captain KRM P5]

looks amazing. love the hood and the red scheme. job well done, my compliments to the chef:)

[Renzokuken]

Yes, I am a genius.

[logik816]

possibly doing up the core sleeper status. trying to take a break from the car right now. haha.

thnx for the props.

[PCspeed3]

Black out the core.. do it. Super sleeper

+1

To me a car should be 1000x more visually stunning than it should be "fast" stunning. You have accomplished the unique and stunning speed 3 in my book, nice work man!

[madvillian]

looks really good, and damn so does that hood! keep the core stock color =) just flip it over to get rid of the corksport logo!

[logik816]

hmm.. both ideas are great. should take a vote on this. haha.

paint the core to have a sleeper look

or

flip the core so the corksport logo wont show

[mr_mazda329]

Are you going to creat a new thread?

[logik816]

Are you going to creat a new thread?

thinkin about starting a new thread on this tomorrow. seeing wat votes i can get in for tonight. lol.

[Familia323]

now i'm not sure wat i should do. hmmm...
I agree with what was already stated. Black out the core...It stays with the color scheme you already have, and besides, you will still see a hint of red from the couplings.

[SPEEDYHANS]

do it

[AG DesignWorks]

I love your hood, that's exactly how I would do it if I went carbon fiber. Very nice.

[SHaW]

Man, logik your whole setup is freaking BOMB! I am drooling over that engine bay. I vote for flip the core so the CS logo will not show.

[logik816]

thnx for all the feedback so far guys.

looks like the sleeper status is winning so far.

[my3needsaname]

This is one of the only cases where the girl in question looks better with her clothing on than off...unless you just taking a peek under that top. ;)

[daonly1around]

thnx. i seem to be the only one sporting that style. always nice to be standing out for something that looks good. (lol2)

corbs is rocking the same look on his white ms3

[logik816]

yeah? he painted his hood too. pics? :)

[oaklandopen]

I think the "sleeper" status is no longer applicable once the outer appearance is modified from factory options.

[Element]

How does it run now? What are your other mods?

[Jasnall]

Wait... so your top mount stays on? And its converted to an intake? how does the air get filtered?

[daonly1around]

they put a a filter in place where the TMIC was, with a custom shroud around the new intake to match the shape of the old TMIC

[logik816]

haha. well... when u put it like that.

tell you what. i'll flip it first and see how i like it. b4 i do something crzy.

[mr_mazda329]

LoL Renzo... but stealth is more exciting...for the driver. Some people see FMIC and say...F*** that. I love the look on peoples faces when they don't know what their getting into and get their asses handed to them. either way looks good, but I would have stealthed it if I had bought it from you.

BTW..I'm lovin the Shifter bushings...thanks.

[livetoride]

leave it how it is. It looks sick!

[mr_mazda329]

haha. well... when u put it like that.

tell you what. i'll flip it first and see how i like it. b4 i do something crzy.



You could do one side stealth and one side normal and flip it depending how you want to roll...(drive2)

[Renzokuken]

Dude. Paint the back side black, leave the front the way it is. Then you will see how horrid it looks in person, and then change it back ! Then you can have the best of both worlds.

it's funny that u mentioned that. i was thinking of doing that. if i paint one side. i would most likely paint the side with the corksport logo.

[logik816]

dont get me wrong. i love having this FMIC, and of course i want to show it off and love the attention.

i jst dont want to attract the wrong attention. (five-0)

Do you have any cut at all? Does the ATP BCK prevent boost cut? Upgraded FP? We have a similiar mod list, except I have the DP, and am waiting on the IC.

[logik816]

i do get fuel cut still. so when the MBC comes in, it should fix that.

i'm not lookin into an FP yet. i wanna see how things go after a downpipe.

[mr_mazda329]

Logik...i would recommend getting a Dashhawk or Aeroforce Scangauge so you can monitor your Fuel Pressure and Knock Retard. Especially with all those mods.

[SPEEDYHANS]

thanks men i like so mush im getting my tomorrow

[Renzokuken]

Get a fuel pump or internals asap.

[hectik1]

That looks downright secksay!(2thumbs)

[SPEEDYHANS]

Get a fuel pump or internals asap.

why do u say that

[john blutarski]

+1 on the FP or internals...

[SPEEDYHANS]

dude i just got my and i installed it and a don't feel the difference did u see a difference in urs

[mr_mazda329]

Do you have a dashhawk? Monitor your Fuel PSI
