Shipping price would be a fortune but still going to be cheaper than others I've seen.
U sure it will fit ?

wont i affect the cooling of the engine abit? dont want the engine getting hot

Edo, looks absolutely fine that one, I've seen them for sale on ebay severa ltimes, often at a higher price, I'm sure you could get it to fit the coupe no problem,.. well about the same difficulty as any other FMIC for the Coupe.

Only comment would be that I am currently fitting a evo IC with Core 480w by 280d and I'm having to route the plumbing by the wheel well on one side. That core is 600w so a fair bit bigger.

If I was you I would cut a template that size out of a bit of cardboard, take of the front bumper (15min job - see guide under styling?) and see how it will fit. I'm sure it will but get an idea of the plumbing implications

cheers

Edo, my EVO IC is the same size as that one, from the very first group buy, can be tricky and you'll need to do a bit of cutting but it is possible

A few questions to check out first:

1. Can you fit a 100mm deep I/C without cutting a huge amount out of the front bumper? (Not a problem if you are happy to do this )

2. The core looks quite dense, so may restrict air flow to your radiator.

3. How much will the hoses and hard pipes cost on top of the I/C to get it to fit? Could easily be £100-200 , especially if you have to buy reducing pipes.

Why not check out the group buy for the Pro Alloy FMIC that I am arranging? It might seem more expensive, but you can get a complete kit that has been specifically designed to fit the Coupe. The core is tube and fin (supposedly better than bar and plate ) and is designed to be free flowing enough to minimise any adverse effects on the water cooling. There are a quite a few people on the forum who have taken up this offer, and both Barbz & Roger have commented on the quality of the product .

Goint through al options...
And reconsidering them all....i think the PRO Alloy kit is indeed my best option...

Grr..... forgot about hosing and stuff...

I NEED MO MONEY!
