I'm looking at renewing my fmic as I'm currently running an old apex type2 (long pipework version) fmic.
Ideally I'd like to get a branded item such as greddy or hks but don't fancy paying crazy money for one. So far rhd Japan works out the cheapest but postage and taxes are still a killer
Can anyone recommend another distributor or know of any second hand items going at a reasonable price?

What intercooler is piman running as hes breaking his dude. Look on his breaking thread
I just read through pimans breaking thread and he's got an apex type 1 if you're looking to go through your battery tray
Is the front high mount jap speed one any good or you really being a brand whore? Lol.
Could get a corner and take it to get custom fabled with integrated recirc mounting and all.
How about a mishimoto core? http://m.mishimoto.co.uk/mishimoto-m...-all-gold.html

Cheers guys, noted about pimans thread
Not really being a brand whore as such but I don't want to run a japspeed item, plus I believe it doesn't work with aircon still installed.
Looking at the prices from apex (if they still sell them) and the drift works item, I could import the Greddy for abut £20 more.

That's not a bad amount extra for the name and quality.
Glad I don't have any turbo anymore.
Tbh I'd happily swap engines with you. Fancy a straight swap

Hmm no as one day I may think about a twin turbo setup or maybe itb the thing. Lol. Kinda wish I kept the ca as I would still be driving it now.
Worth a shot

I suppose it is. The car is so far off standard now it's Rediculous.
So u not fancy the custom cooler idea?
Buy a nice core from Mishimoto or Greddy or HKS etc and get custom pipework made up, that way you can position the cooler how you like and have the pipework routed how you like too.
The Parts Shop Max HMIC has the shortest pipe run of any off-the-shelf kits I'm aware of.

Thanks for the note chaps.
Chris, I have an Apex Type 1 but I have had custom thick Aluminum mounts with anti vibration bushes welded onto it to keep it secure and not crack off. I also noticed that I have completely left any photos of this out of my blog
I've got an Apexi core for an RX7 with no pipework that I keep meaning to sell. Any good?
Japspeed ICs are pish. A poor fit and look like they've been welded by someone who didn't give a sh!t.
At the cheap end of the spectrum, Toyosport ICs look much better quality and the fitting kits are pretty decent if you can work out how to put it together.
The radiator I had off them was abysmal but then like all the cheap stuff it's hit or miss whether you get anything that works or doesn't.
Maybe Toyosport switched to the same shit supplier as Japspeed use then.
My experience with the Toyosport was just from inheriting a brand new in the box one with pipework and silicone as part of a job lot of stuff I bought.
I took it out of the box and it looked well made and the pipe and clips looked good quality. I sold it on to someone at 50% of the price I could find it for on the internet. The guy who bought it didn't complain.
Maybe it was a very early kit ? Who knows.
Toyo Sport is pretty much the same old Chinese made bits churned out by most eBay sellers, some stuff is alrite and some stuff isn't.
IMO if you're after a premium product then go and talk to Pace, if they don't have something off the shelf for you then they can make it up to your specifications.
