pics of new fmic!!!
FYI .. it only takes liek 5 minutes to figure out which pipe goes where with no instructions.
As far as the battery relocation .. nothing to roll your eyes or be surprised at. Since this is a direct copy of the Greddy kit, it goes without saying that you should expect to have to move the battery .. as the Greddy kit requies you too.
And yes there's minor modification needed, you will need to sawzall or grind out some 3" circles at the corner of the fenders. Its reallllly difficult to get a good cut in that area lol.

I got the same kit recently. don't be afraid to modify it a bit. I did and I kept my power steering, my battery up front, and the stock up pipe is able to be used. I didn't really want to have someone weld on a new mount for my type-s so I kept my up-pipe with it already on there. it was actually very easy, measure and cut. and I crushed the pipe at the power steering a bit to get it to fit threw the strut tower an the pump. there a good amount of clearance, (about 1/4) and I cut up some extra couplings to fill in the gap to wear if they ever come close. I also didn't modify my bumper at all. but to each his own, I just want the a/e to still look stock. Oh, but I did have to move the fuse block and the ignitor coil.. no big deal. Nothing rubs anywhere btw.. sorry for the glare it was very early..
Definilty worth the investment, specially for the $ 400 you spent on it.
One thing though, that most FC owners forget when installing these nice big FMIC is that it really limits the air to the Radiator and oil cooler, wich really then weakens the full setup.
Best thing to do is make an opening where the lip is to get fresh air to the rad and oil cooler.

so working on a undertray and new fan set up now to cool it down some.
Hey Hey! Yeah, I liked it at first but its the one that flutters in Vacuum, and then sounds like an RS under full boost. POOOSHHHH! I'm thinking of a Blitz bov next or something. Maybe go back to my old Type-RS!
