Does anybody have the RRE FMIC for a 1G? I am thinking about purchasing it but am not sure on wether I like it or not.

I have had mine for about 8 months now. I have had NO problems w/ it whatsoever. It works just fine w/ my 20G. Most recommend going w/ a larger IC than this if you are going to be running larger than the 20G though. Here it is on my car.

I agree - it's good up to a 20G or so. I've gone 11.90's with it on my Big 16G car (32xx lbs w/o me), so don't let anybody tell you it's too small. 
Thanks for your input guys. I was asking the question because there is a guy on the trader selling his whole setup for $490 minus the lower piping. I was weary of purchasing because he stated that he had the lower endtank custom welded on backwords for a GVR4, but he said he could get the lower piping. But I don't want to go through that hassle.

I don't see any way that this IC could cause enough blockage to keep air from getting to the radiator.misbfa1 said:

I am looking at getting this front mount too. Did anyone have any trouble with installation on their 1G??
I had problems w/ what I "thought" at first was overheating due to the "shitty" stock cooling system. Well, $500+ later the problem became clear. I was pushing coolant under boost and eventually enough was being pushed out to make the car heat up too much (start to overheat). Well, like you're thinking, yes it was the HG leaking. But I'll tell you what, I wouldn't trade my Fluidyne for anything. It has made a night and day differance w/ temps. On a cool day w/ the 180 deg therm I've never seen her get over 184-7. On a hot day...between 187-194!! I love it and recommend one to anyone.
Installation was EASY. Print the directions on RRE's site and go to town. Took me about 2 hours (not including where I had to cut the bumper).
Also, don't let yourself be fooled. Our stock cooling system is SHITTY. It is ALWAYS a good idea to upgrade it. Especially if you race alot (street, drag, or auto-x). Cooling systems (one of the MOST!!! important systems) are often overlooked and when they fail it can be disasterous for the motor. Just my .02. Later.

The wheels are Speedy Atix (the name is kind of gay). Got them at wheelmax.com. 17" x 8" and they are relatively light. They are advertised on wheel max for $799 package with tires (205/40/17 kumho). However I upgraded to 215/45/17 kumho's for an additional $50. Then they charge $60 for mounting and lugnuts, and shipping was $90. So the total was $999 shipped to my door. Pretty good deal in my opinion. The wheels are an exact copy of ADR Kasai's, and one of the Advan models.
