securing front bumper with FMIC

Followers

June 10, 200818 yr

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has any advice as to how to secure the stock front bumper when using a front mount intercooler (i.e. side mounts and ducts have been removed). I've bolted it back on with what mounts are still available but it's a bit 'flappy' at the sides - just in front of the wheels. Suppose the same applies to aftermarket bumpers too.

Not sure if it would self destruct if I used it as is...

Cheers

RobH

There are a number of water pipes that can be removed and the system simplified.
The fuel rail has a short connecting pipe which is much easier to do with the plenum off, same with the dett sensor.

@mailrebdog I’ve still got loads of pictures if you want them. Could always Whatsapp them etc. Found an invoice for the front D2 brake set up but not the rears yet.
Not long after I got the car from Craig I had it dyno’d and it made 368bhp. It had boost tips in and a pretty unique jdm map chip (which again, was given with the car when I sold it). A few years later I had the Greddy boost controller fitted and it made 418bhp with the custom map. Like I said there were mixed reviews on his maps but mine seemed pretty good.
In terms of the paint I struggled as well to get the House of Kolor paint over here, I think it’s code was KO4, so I switched to a metallic pearl from Specialist Paints, who are still in business. I wanted the look of the purple Quality Street wrapper! I can’t for the life of me remember the exact name but I’m going through old invoices to see if I can help. The real pisser is I had a touch up pen made when it was painted, with all the details. Guess that was lost too.
You’ll see an annoying mileage discrepancy on the MOT history as a tester input miles instead of KM, although when I visited JeffTT I had the clocks and mileage converted (with a certificate which has also been lost I’m assuming).
I’ve got to say. The more I’m remembering the care and love both Myself and Craig gave to this car, the more f’d off I am all that history is lost after I sold it.
I was never a big contributor on this forum, but I learned a lot from the guys on here and they are a really supportive bunch. Good to see some legends are still on the scene.
Sorry it’s taken so long to reply. I don’t have notifications set on here but I’ll check back more regularly now I know she’s still being worked on!
