    Hi guys,
    I'm having a spot of trouble getting the IC installed. I'm not sure if the rest of you got one, but I didn't get the installation guide that was advertised. I've removed the front bar, but it appears that the reo-bar will be in the way, so I'll need to cut that. How close to the foggies should I cut, and how far back?

    There appears to be two horns where the IC would rest up against the body of the car. Have most of you relocated these to a better spot?

    Also, if any of you have closeups of the pipes when installed, I'd really appreciate it if you could post them up. I can't tell which pipe goes where as I can't make out the pipe dimensions from the gb ads.

    Cheers,
    Joe

    1. put the fmic up against the reo bar and use a pencil/texta to know where you need to cut it.

    2. yes some of us relocated the horns, others including myself just bent the brackets that the horns are bolted to back enough to avoid touching the clamps/pipes

    3. have fun testing which pipes fit best, took me a few goes as it did with others..
    tip.. it will only ever fit when you've got it right, if it doesnt fit in one configuration, try again with another.

    I've taken off the reobar + indicator as I'll probably attach it after I get the fmic on properly. It looks like I'll need to cut a whole heap of reo bar (I'll probably remove the plastic immediately to the bottom and side of the indicator, or hack it up completely while only saving the plastic required for the indicator mount, and the mount to the body.. still deciding on this)

    Thanks for the suggestion. I rotated it around and bent it back. There's a bit more room to play with now :)

    I've tested a few combinations, but the best one requires that I either shorten -or remove completely- the stock rubber pipes (all four) which attach to the ss pipes. This really really sucks :(

    Can I get a few shots of your (or others) setup with the front bar off?

    Cheers,
    Joe
