I looked at them too although they dont come with the alternate crash bar so youve gotta knock out the inner support weld and mount a couple of fixing brackets in the centre. They do however come with the replacement pancake pipe and for a great price! Im just lazy and love a compulsive buy!  :rolleyes:

sod's law that I have the PCR pipe already lol

Will have to ask for a bit of money off for that. Works out as the cheapest purpose built FMIC that I can find  :wink:

That was the cheapest I found but jordys was £500 so I thought it was worth a punt! If you do have a spare PCR pipe, feel free to PM me and I'll have it off you. There is a big difference between the Forge and THS intercooler! The shrewder man would buy the THS if buying new  :wink:

Go nuts and buy one, I bought some anni wheels 2 weeks ago, the intercooler last week and yesterday got offered redundancy or a pay cut! I'm kinda gutted now but it's worth it as it looks nice sat in the drive!  :rolleyes:    I noticed the car feels much happer revving past 5000 rpm now, before it felt like it wasn't loving it. I used a tank of fuel last night and today just puening about backroads. Good times!  :grin:

Hopefully this will be my new addition after pay day (nice little lump sum comming  :wink:) will look at leaving my centre lower grille vent out i think and remove the 4 supports (std bumper) just so its alittle noticeable  :evil: roll on payday!!

lol my days of going nuts and just spending are gone mate, not with a mortgage and a little one to support. My loan should finish in October so I'll be £150 a month better off, once the credit card is paid off I'll look into it (although I can get interest free purchases at the mo so it is very tempting lol)
