A little of what ive been upto......

[Forbez]

over the weekend, a big thanks to Ricky for the spacers, Rob and Rich at Forge for fitting the FMIC, not minding me hanging around, and helping sort out the little bits!
It was a pleasure to meet these are two guys, both great guys and Forge gets my recommendation!
Thanks for showing me around Rob, it was a nice touch to see this side of things, of how ou buld and it etc. PS. that new DV for the FSI motor looked adjustable, hmm would it work on a cupra letting out a little air creating the "woosh" sound many of the owners want. Although i suspect it would probably throw out error codes with the Narchy ECU.
Anyway pics:
Before spacer:

A view to show you the thickness:

Wth the spacers and wheels refitted:

And here's fridays work:

i love the front of your car that looks damn nice mate, good colour too.

u gonna leave the fmic bbare? i would looks very cool (no pun intended)

 

[acidstrato]

very nice mate, wish someone would donate a few hundred quid towards an fmic for me

 

[JIMYU]

Looks very nice. FMIC's are hardly a subtle mod are they!

 

[cordobabrendy]

on the ibiza it looks wierd, maybe stealthed up a bit would look better, i think its the double decker splitter that makes it look like the second slat is added on afterwards.

 

[danregs]

lookin good matey!!

just noticed that you have no covers over your hub nut (you know, the metal plate that presses on). did you take these off to fit your spacers?

cheers

 

[JIMYU]

With the forge fmic is there no room to put the mesh back on after fitting?

 

[LeeroyBrown]

No, there isnt really that much room atall, i was gonna put some sort of mesh infront of it, but imo it looks good enough without it.. Iv had mine on for afew months now and now one mark on it yet (touch wood)

looking really nice! glad the spacers turned up okay!

 

[Forbez]

Yeah mate, spacers are a treat, i did mail back, but mails been playing up!
Jimyu - no mate no room for the grill, as for some cars you have to trim the bumper to get it to fit. Mine sits nicely snug up against the intercooler. I'll admit i was going to trim my grill down and refit it, but in my honest opinion it would ruin the look of the car.

Danregs - yeah mate i took them off as the spacers wouldnt go over the top of them.

 

[ForgeMotorsport]

Glad the day went ok and thanks for your kind words

 

[Forbez]

It went awesome, cheers for the awesome job you did.

Its a nice touch showing people around. I will take a few more nice piccies when the weathers abit better.

Lee, i'll speak to you about it mate, i got it through the goup buy that was on at the time.

 

[juan]

sorry for my dumness but what does a fmic do and why its so good, as a few poeple have them and evan more want them??? thanks

 

[Forbez]

Its an intercooler which is mounted on the front of the car, (FMIC - Front mount intercooler) basically its alot bigger than the standard Side Mounted Inter Cooler, allowing alot more air to flow through it, allowing alot more cooler air to get into the engine meaning a better mixture of denser (sp) air, and petrol fumes, meaning a bigger exothermic reaction, because of the denser air, allowing more petrol particles in the mix!
