[PICS] My swap progress

[Luke]

For anyone who's interested, I've snapped some photos periodically while I was doing my swap. I'm all done except half the wiring, I can't wait. I'll take more when i'm all finished and the car's running.

looks nice. How easy was the FMIC install? I'm lookin and i think that's a greddy fmic right? Keep up the good work and keep snapping pics.

Thanks. That's the Greddy Vspl FMIC. It was easy to install with the hardware it came with. The instructions tell you where to measure to cut the hole out of the battery tray. You have to move the washer fluid resevoir over a little as you can see in that last pic.

The only thing that nobody tells you is that the front bumper brace behind the bumper itself doesn't fit over the intercooler. After searching here, I found that most people don't even put it back on and that they like removing all that weight up front. Others cut the brace until it fits. Someone said that a JDM brace is smaller and will fit, but I don't know if that's true. I left the bumper brace off for now, until I feel like cutting it. Other than that, the FMIC fits great.
