How thick is you're FMIC, think you'd be able to fit a 3.5 inch FMIC core in along with slim fans and AC condenser?

Keep in mind us Aussies dont have a big heavy crash bar up front, all our rio is in the actual bumper (PS old pic)

 

[bikingpro5]

Hammo sent you a msg, there is all kinds of room around my FMIC.

Also went out to the garage last night to swap wheels on my Focus and noticed a huge puddle under the drivers rear tire, seems as though a coil strut that has not been used since November decided to spill its guts. So looks like ill be looking into new coils this year as well.

 

[bikingpro5]

well decisions been made and a part out thread will be coming shortly.

[bikingpro5]

The main stuff I want is the msp lip, foglight deletes, lower grill and upper grill. Maybe more depending on how much that stuff costs. lol

Aww man I thought we could have been supercharged buddies well it was a good build. I'm definitely interested In some of your supercharger setup when u do part out. RIP to another supercharged protege

 

[00bluees]

i haz a sad

 

[bikingpro5]

all together

noticed the lugs were bottomed out with the ARP studs and new wheels causing the wheel to move side to side when i turned the car around in the yard so the car got new open ended lugs ( i hate them)

bought her another stable mate ( wifeys wheels)

started removing the DISO in the paint

still debating what to do with the P5 now that there are 4 cars in the yard and 2 are brand new(ish)

 

[Lewis7789]

Why do you hate new new open ended lug nuts?

i dont like how they stick out past the middle of the rpfs, yes i know these are safe and hold the wheel properly I just don't like the look.

 

[Lewis7789]

Ohhh, okay. Gotcha.
