99 fm Ic kit In a 94, can it work?
I know sombody thats selling a fm Ic kit from a 99 miata for a good price, could I make this work with minimum effort or would I haft to do alot of modification for the kit to work:confused: and where the hell can I find the install instructions for the damn thing, fm no longer has them

yes.
FTW, i use the evquivalant to the bottom two pipes. |
so should I go for it , and be done with my intercooler dilema
|
For the right price, I recommend it.
|
It's $350 right?
Why not look at all new ebay stuff? |
I don feel like going through the hassle of running all over the flippen place for people to bend and bend somore, I just want to somthing close to bolt up and go
|
Kit looks like a POS. Doesnt even seem to have 2" piping. But if you can't make your own or afford a quality kit, why are you asking.
Just buy it, make whatever mods are needed and bolt it up and go. Maybe clean up the rust before you do it. That IC looks pretty fucked up too. |
install instructions nah man that is part of the FM puzzle pack if you figured it out then you would get a prize. :rofl:

You have to remember that any paint coating you put in there isn't going to be very thick. |

:pitlab::rofl: Did you even read through the thread that you posted? I think #11 sums it up: Yes, but do you think rican is going to use any sort of expensive PAINT? No chances are he was going to use thick as fuck SPRAYPAINT. :vash: |
