APEX GT FMIC installed w/ PICS!!

Hey guys, I am going to post some pics of my recent APEX'i GT FMIC install and Blitz DD BOV. Just posting in case anyone was thinking of getting the kit and wanted to see it installed, here is the first one.

Did you have to relocate your battery? I couldn't really see from the pics cause it's kinda out of focus.

well since all i had at the time was the stock size battery I did relocate it to the hatch. I am getting an Optima yellow top now and going to make a nice little battery box in the hatch to show it off. You could use a motorcycle battery or a very small car battery if you didnt want to relocate but I didnt want to sacrafice the power of a good sized battery.

what are you talking about, the BOV I assume. I know you can vent the BOV to the atmosphere. With the Blitz and the stock its plently loud, no need to in this car, thanks for the compliment though. I dont really like your forum name however, not cool,

I got the IC from a shop near here, in Chicago called A-Spec Tuning. They did all the work, I didnt want to mess with relocating anything. They had the BOV welded on, which kinda looks like crap, needs to be polished up now. They did not had to fab up anything which was good. All the brackets in the kit worked and served their purpose. I watched most of the install so if I ever change to something different down the road I might be up to doing it myself but as of now I love this IC and it will be staying on the car for quite some time, thanks for the compliments guys!!

Steve

Well it looks nice and serves it's purpose, so don't take this personally when I say that I never realized how ugly the piping shape is for that kit.

I know what you mean. I made sure they werent blue when I ordered it. I would like to get them polished in the near future. Hey Mike, whats up man, long time no talk. How are things going with you? So where are you getting the IC from, dont pay with a money order dude!!! We know what happens when you do that, hehe. Anyways, post some pics of yours when you get it in, talk to ya later,

Steve

Yeah dude hell yeah i will. I bought it from this guy who is a apexi dealer, he is legit and has a 9sec rx7. So not only is he smart with the cars but he also knows his **** as far as getting parts. Yeah dude don't worry no more MO's for me. I learned, the way i see it is i took a $1000 class and passed with A+++++++++++++++++++ so never again will i do any MO transactions. Well hope everything is cool dude, give me a call sometime. 240-461-0791 and if u are ever around the DC area just hit me up for a place to crash and chill. Nice meeting you take care Mike

Thanks man, I really like the new power from the IC, just when I get used to not hitting my head against the seat, now I have to learn all over again, lol.
