Skimmy237 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hi, I got a Fmi and I need some help on the best way to fit it?The pipe work I'm sure I can handle, as I know where 2 go haha so I will guess the rest lolWhat I need help with is where does the bracket work for the core go and will I need to drill holes to fit them? Any pictures would be greatly appreciatedThanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zeldoz Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Fitted the same kit to mine.To get it sitting perfect your need to cut abit of the bar that runs from the bonnet catch to the bottom sub frame. This allows the core to slide up behind the crash bar. as it's a bjg core without doing this it'll hang out below the bumper like mine did. See my build thread for reference mate pics there.

Skimmy237 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Aw no 😟😟 I was told this will go in with no cutting ! Can you attatch the photos to here please ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skimmy237 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 I just read your thread man. So do I cut that bar out completely ? And what is that bar actually for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeldoz Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It supports the bonnet latch.No, just the bit that's sticking towards the front of the car, this will allow it to slide up behind the crash bar meaning it won't hang out like mine did after fitting, then drill a hole and bolt it on, or reuse the lower bonnet latch bolt.Mine didn't fit without doing the above, but yours could be different, I doubt it though!

iamlegend Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) well come on man I said little trimming to no cutting... easy take the crash bar of completey.. the core bolts on with brackets to the chasis and its done like this simple Edited December 22, 2013 by iamlegend Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skimmy237 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Haha ok man ! Thanks a lot, so just take the crash bar off totally ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skimmy237 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Also there is a long pipe in the box with a bracket sticking onto the side of it ? Where does that bolt onto ? And if I take the crash bar off I don't need to cut that support and it will fit behind the standard bumper ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeldoz Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yeah if you do it legends way. But your severely regret it if you had a small bump. Would ruin the core and turbo behind it as the core would take the hit not your bar... Entirely up to you how you fit it! There's no right an wrong! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skimmy237 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hmm I suppose I will take my bumper off though the week and have a look Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 The pipe that has the bracket will be the cold side pipe, it bolts onto a little hole just underneath the battery tray, im doing mine atm just in for a heat but dont take the crash bar out imo its a safety feature mate albeit not the biggest but it will take a bit of a bump at least Upto you though if the weather wasnt so shite i would of popped down and showed you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skimmy237 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Ok dude ! And is there a hole at the battery tray for it or will I need to drill ? Where you fromMate ? My old car never had a crash bar so might just pull it out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skimmy237 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 If I take my crash bar out and fit it that way will my bumper fit without cutting it ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Glasgow mate , looking at your kit has puzzled me as my old kit te bracket was sort of twisted and imSure the hole was there it was years ago man , tbh mate if you wanna pull it out just whip it out , ill end up becoming a hippocruitAnd doing the same with mine if i get fed up haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I'd be more worried about cutting the bumper than the crash bar haha, that looks a fairly big core like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skimmy237 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 The crash bar is coming off dude, will that make enough room? As Iamlegend had the exact same cooler kit and it fit over his bumper ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I honestly couldn't say how it'll fit, i've never had a Glanza. His old white V had a 99 spec bumper which was cut out for a FMIC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
