Hey guys, as I read on the interchangable items on a FC thread, it says that the lenses for the pop-up MR2 fit the FC, I was just wondering if any of the headlight conversion kits for the MR2 would fit an FC as well?

If they do, then might get some low rise \'rev 6\' quad headlights (just to be different lol)

i think the interchangable lense is the housing as its a regular size rectangle housing?

I have been eyeing them up for a while, unlike the illegal ebay FD quad lights, these are e-rated, there are lots of different conversions for the MR2, this one drops the popup a bit like a sleepy eye conversion :)

Yeah, it looks like its them, but I need to check that they are e-marked, I know some FD guys had issues with beam pattens regarding some sleek FD lights off ebay.

Also, just had a closer look at the picture, the front of the headlight cover, it usually bolts into the main frame of the light, if you look at the nearside light, the bit you can see silhouetted against the bonnet... its not attatched to anything...

Im also wondering why its got an EGI bonnet and a front mounted intercooler on that pic, so there will be no air flow...but then it dawned on me, its in the states, so they don\'t know about turbos and intercoolers *sigh*

Skifledanabit

well, isn\'t the main problem with the FC3S that the top mounted intercooler is prone the heatsoak, seeing as its on top of the engine? so lots of people go for front mounted intercoolers as a way to get around that?

Front mounts are fine, if you get the flow right, the air come in from the front and then exits though the top of the bonnet, if there isn\'t anywhere for the air to go, the intercooler won\'t work lol

They run inverted scoops like this:
