Think I need to get something better than a Dremel tool for all the cutting :D
When I fitted mine I used a Dremel to cut my bumper to size and also to shave the chassis legs. I set one on fire in the process though. Had to take it back to the shop and claim Id just been cutting up airfix models. :nod: :D
:D
Will go to the garage tonight and give ita try.
I don't have a genuine Dremel, but a cheap knockoff. Will most likely brake it :)

It is possible to get one with pipes which follow the same route as the the WMIC pipes. The cold pipe goes down and doubles back over the top of the cooler to the exit. Obviously, the pipework is ever longer...
Why would someone do that?? seems nuts

FMIC finally fitted :)
Was a little of a hassle getting the hole in the battery tray done without any instructions where to drill it :rolleyes:
Used the same measurements as the Hybrid kit and it worked a treat.
Thanks PJ for having the installation instructions for the Hybrid kit on your webpage :D

The holesaw didn't fit the drilling machine, so my mechanic guy used the next best thing... :cool: :D


I think I spent an hour cutting the bumper support bar with the Dremel :eek:
When I was done, my mate with the garage next to me showed up and said he had a cutter :rant:

Any pics of it fitted??
Not yet.
Will go to the garage tonight or tomorrow night.
Have to tilt the bottom of the IC further in for the pipes to be a perfect fit.

It was kinda hard knowing where to mount the IC without instructions. Used existing holes and it worked out pretty good.
Will have to cut the chassis bar in the front for the IC to get tilted.

And also cut the front bumper support a little more.

And then theres the fron bumper. Haven't got to that bit yet.

The front looks very aggresive now with a FMIC and no bumper :)

Sorry guys :D

You still want piccies :p

Actually I have my sisters digi-cam at home.
I can use that but I don't know when I've got the time of transferring them to the computer as I don't have the software or the computer connection cords at home. :(

Could be :)

I had spent about an hour cutting the front bumper support with a dremel and was kinda pissed of (as my mate told me that he had a cutting tool when I was done) :)

One funny thing though is that the stock battery still fits next to the pipe if turned 90 degrees.
Seems to be a bit of a hassle getting it connected though :(
