Default FMIC Kit

Just wondering how many people might be interested in a FMIC kit that fits behind the stock bumper for around $575, maybe a little less if there are enough people? The core is 2.3" thick and good for a k03 to a GT28r setup, maybe even a GTRS elim.

If the kit would definitely work well with a GTRS I'd be very interested

Core is 20 x 8 x 2.3 so it will be right on the edge for a GTRS on a pump gas tune.

Raw, you really dont want to paint a FMIC. Best thing is to have it anodized which is what ER does to theirs to make them black.

Ah. I hate your timing!

Questions:

1. Better than the Racetec you offer?
2. Bigger than the Racetec?
3. Does it retain stock fogs with the A4 bumper?

1. Yes, it will be made with a high density core and the builder says it should handle up to 400chp.

2. The core is slightly longer, thicker, but not as tall. End tanks will also be cast.

3. Yes it is being designed for the stock bumper and allow the stock fog lights to stay.


I might be looking for a Stock bumper A4 with a K03/K04 or Elim kit owner that might be interested in doing the test fitting at a huge discount. Please PM or email me if you are interested.

Do you reccommend this over the racetec? (price aside) Or is the Ractec better for the elim for a little more money?

That is hard to say till this new one is finished. They already have a B6 FMIC that is being used by a good amount of people over on AZ.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

I recently purchased the APR kit and not too happy with it. In which, I might just go with ER since they could make the whole kit black.
