Nice setup Dave (RXHeven)! That FMIC looks sharp.... however you are most likely going to want to cut up that pretty front bumper cover more to expose more of the intercooler core. You have a huge core and are probably only exposing 2/5 of it.

I know mine will go under the knife to expose the whole core to good airflow.

RXHeven's is putting in a street ported 13BT motor with T2 tranny and rear end. He road races the car and it should be a contenda now.....

I've seen the progression of his white vert and I must say it is very very clean.

That Fmic looks really good. I bought the 32R greddy and I had to cut out the bottom lip of the car because it was so wide

ah hell, the turbo fc was a super fun car, and the convertible was destined to put a smile on everyones face, so hell, you'd have to be on crack to not be happy with a turbo vert

Maybe he was more comfortable going slow and getting smoked by Hondas all the time...not me. Or maybe he swapped in a tired stock TII engine that was just as much a pig as the na engine. I couldn't stand how slow the verts are. I've had several TII's and verts and the verts were definateley missing something. As for the handling issue with the heavier weight of the TII drivetrain; spare me, please.
