Question Good news - FMIC comes in a day early, BAD news - No instructions

Before I start bending my ac condensor during my experimental/instructionless greddy fmic install does anyone have the instructions to scan and e-mail or some pics of the brackets installed or step by step pics? I know the first thing I'll hear is "do a search!" and if i was looking for pics of a bunch of guys in a shop, smiling with a rx7 (with a greddy fmic) in the background or even pics of the finished install, the search would have worked great. I can't believe there isn't a quality "how-to" on this - plenty of posts asking for one.

(To think I usually curse/laugh at those all japanese manuals but would love to see one for this project/puzzle)

Thanks for the replies in advance,

Shawn

Call the shop where you got the intercooler, they should have the instructions.

I thought that you would yell at him for buying a kit.

The intercoller is no problem. It is already in. It is the radiator and condenser relocation. Since I haven't seen any pics of this relocation that shows the condenser and didn't really look close enough at the ones I have seen already installed it makes it tough. A couple pics, a manual, or even 20 or 30 constructive words and would probably help me finish up this project. I was really hoping to get a reply from someone who had actually installed this kit.

I forgot to qualify my last closing - it should have went something like this...

Thanks for your replies in advance (at least the ones that are supposed to be constructive - to the ones that aren't supposed to be why bother?)

(You have enough brain power to know which category yours falls into HWO?)

I've seen alot of cars with the Greddy FMIC. They move the radiator so that it is close to perpendicular to the ground, instead of the near parallel position it's in when it's in stock form. The same goes for the condenser...I think.

A picture is worth a whole bunch of words.

13Bace I have found many pics like that....how about taking a pic from the opposite angle or from above so I can see the radiator and condenser. Anyone else have one?

A friend of mine, who was out of town this weekend, has written up a how-to for this project and I am going to post this to my web site as soon as I am finished with this project. So those of you doing a search for this drop me an e-mail or pm if I haven't posted another thread with an URL yet.
