You dont need brackets Peter. It fits perfectly with the bottom sub frame and the pipework keeps it in place securely

Yep mine said FC3s too mate.  Fit fine though.  Didn\'t need any brackets for mine either.

A lot less I have MCIC now :-)

Its actually harder with the mushrooms to fit in then the Apexis due to the surface area of the filter.

Just cut down the intake pipes to the desired length and should fit fine

Got the HKS \'shrooms on mine.

Had to cut down the RH pipe (by half) and then re-position at a 45o angle to sit in front of the SMIC (I know this isn\'t the ideal place, but I haven\'t noticed any problems).  LHS one fits fine in original position.

Can sort a piccy our tonight if you need.

Quote from: GAZ666any one having any luck with these? are they worth getting?

on ebay now for £189 with the piping?

Worth mentioning at this point to shop around.

Got mine from eBay.com with piping for £85.  You just cant grumble with that kind of money.

Ducting has been tried via someone on RX7.com.  They used to sell them for about £80, but I cant find any now.  If someones develops a kit there will be a few interested persons im sure.  At the moment the only air to mine comes from the lack of inner wheel arches, which probably wont help much.  Replaced the standard cover (with the little modification) to help improve the looks though.

Keep me informed! :)

mechanic had a few problems fitting,didnt bother with brackets but when 1st fitted pipes/IC strut brace in the way so cut a bit off left pipe  (as viewed from front) brace on ok,then found bonnet wouldnt close so has slightly tilted IC but now has an air leak from somewhere,induction kit is back on without chopping down.
also can someone tell me if boost solenoid is under upper manifold (rats nest) as has controller to fit tomorrow

Peter,
I have one of these I.C. sitting in my loft at the moment.  I also have the apexi twin filters so would be interested in a pic of your install and what gains you had.
Cheers

Peter the only thing that needs to be modified is the air duct.

The induction filters should be fine but a bit of a squeeze
