I'm trying to bring my car back up to state spec....

I know Evos have a system that lets you mount the front plate to the side of the front air dam...not blocking air flow to the intercooler.

Anybody know of a setup like that for our cars???

 

Right side fog light cover...although its probably gonna be the left side for you cuz if I remember correctly u have an intake on the right side.

 

for state spec, the only way it would block the intercooler is if you had in mounted on the hoodscoop =p

all kidding aside, I used to have a Y shaped bracket that would hold the plate out and to a side with minimal drilling.

 

I can design a bracket for you FMIC guys, pitch the idea to gruppe-s and sell it for 19.95 :P

 

ebay.

one of the guys that got his hydra tuned with us awhile back rigged up a hinge on his front plate, it was pretty creative. it kind of stands out in the middle of the car but it doesn't block the FMIC. basically when the car was sitting with no air on it, the front plate would be in the normal location somewhat infront of the intercooler. once any bit of air hit the plate though, it would blow it back and make it perfectly slanted with the front end and the IC would not be blocked.

here is a pic with the dyno fans blowing on it

 

does us = DPT Tuning?

 

I rather liked this one I found in Tokyo...





I'm still trying to figure out how to make one for the bugeye model.

 

Jeremy has something on his STi like a bracket that shifts the plate a few inches up... iirc he got it from Volvo?

 

hey that's Roland from So.caL!

 

yep. very cool guy. he drove all the way up from socal to get tuned, his car is so clean. hah he just needs a bigger turbo now

 

dayum so.cal, aren't there reputable tuners in so.cal? No offense to Mike (he knows and I know that hes the $hit)

whats he rockin in his sti anyways?

 

get the JDM swinging license plater holder, I could get your one for $30 (PM ME)



I got one on my 2006, it folds under to let the air in and also the cops/cameras cant get your front plates

 

Cool man, I have those JDM plate holder as well. +1

 

the JDM license plate one is the best and sickest
