djmtsu I'm not gonna be making it to deal's gap unfortunately... Car still won't be ready...
We're gonna start by making a prototype for the front and rear strut bars, a prototype harness bar, and some TID's... We'll have a confirmed price on them by the end of this week, but here are the estimates...
1. Triangulated front strut bar (no fuse box relocation required) $80
2. X-braced rear strut bar $80
3. TID (3" inlet/outlet, smooth bends, positions AFM straight forward) $75
4. Harness bar (spans the B-pillars, camera mount per request $20 extra) $70

ok a few questions for this.
1. does the front strut bar work with the stock TMIC?
2. would there have to be any cutting involved in installing the reat strut bar?
3. the harness bar...are you gonna make a-pillars that bolt up to this?
thats it for now. these all sound tike great ideas I hope they all become real

I don't have a topmount intercooler, so I'll need one before I can decide whether we can make it to clear... Due to it's one piece nature, there will be some cutting involved for the rear strut bar... We haven't decided exactly where to bolt the harness bar yet...

I have seen alot of FMIC setup and EVERYONE got these LOOONG nasty, not good for performance, piping.. Why dont just make a IC kit with piping like molehill did? Make a kit and ill try/buy it if the price is okey.

Our FMIC setup is going to be based around a relocated radiator... By moving the radiator closer to the engine and positioning it vertically, we'll be able to keep the piping as short and straight as possible...

Haha I understand... Trust me, the V-mount setups will come soon enough... I need a V-mount style intercooler to work from... If someone wants to send me an intercooler, I can have the plans for the kit set in stone within a week... I'd like to get the radiator relocation kit designed first though...

Yea but without relocating the radiator, there's no way you're getting a starion intercooler in your car... Unless you do some cutting... Send an email to 13b4me@mynetrocks.com with a pic of your engine bay... We probably wouldn't have time to get to it right away though, so you might wanna wait on that...
