I just went with this intercooler on my car too. I got it from cxracing via "make an offer" on ebay. Something around $190 shipped. Mines 2.5" in and out. It is BIG. woah.
I'm thinking I could just move the radiator back the 3" I need and slip the intercooler between the rad. support and the radiator. It'd be real close to the sway bar. Then use some slim lowprofile aftermarket fans. That way I get to keep my A/C and not have to worry as much about clearing the hood, or do i have to take off my bumper, or worry about rigging a hood latch.

well guys.. I picked up some of the left over parts to get this project done.
some pics of the parts I picked up today.
I took this to show you how big the fmic actually is
heres Mr. HKS Manifold(thanks hrach) and Mr. T25 cuddling. Narbie I'm also going to order those APR studs & nuts thanks again.
Here is where I'm going to run the FMIC pipes through my Radiator support
Here is the goal... I'm going to run a over the top mount FMIC.
What makes this fmic difficult to install besides the fact that it's huge.. is that there are no kits like this for the miata. So I'm making it from scratch... I'm currently taking a few welding classes and I'm going to be attending a Tig welding class next sem so this shouldn't be too difficult to make.
Here's what my car looked like when I picked her up (1994 Miata 1.8L) $1500
and here it is today
heres all the junk I had to take out...
You can see the door and the stock suspension
this is all the glass from the broken window from the door and other stuff in the car I cleaned out.

ha ya, its lose lose if you can't find the answer your looking for by searching, but better to be searching and bringing up old stuff than just posting random new threads i suppose. Hopefully somebody will be able to help you out.

Did you mean headlight to tail light? I'm pretty good at pulling dents so the front fender may be salvageable but the door is practically untouched minus one little dinge on the very edge that can be fixed with a pair of plyers its the quarter that's gonna give me hell. Thanks for the support btw.
