carl0s Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Stock intercoolers. Any thoughts why this one didn't get many bids? Yet this one, which ended 30 minutes later, caused a bidding frenzy and sold for nearly twice as much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 One looks clean and from an unmodifed looking car? The other doesnt due to the marks on the front and the sparco tube hanging off it? I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 well he assures me it's got next to no fins missing, and guarantees it works perfectly. It's gotta be better than mine which has about 35% of the fins missing and is full of cigarette stubs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Hehe Was it put in the same selling catergory as the 2nd one? sometimes the ads are missplaced. If it sounds good yeah then go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelG Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 ........and is full of cigarette stubs!! What are these crazy japs on ??? When i took out my wheel arch lining to do my suspension, about 4 cigarette ends fell out with it ! Maybe they like to place them in cars for no reason lol !!

Guest TT Supraman Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I bought the second one which went for nearly twice as much. I was going to bid for the one you got but I thought I'd go for the other one as it looked in very good nick. Also as it came off an import, the import intercoolers do not degrade as fast due to less salty roads in Japan. Anyway you did get a bit of a steal, I think i did also, a stock smic for less than a hundred, I ain't complainin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gotta figure out how to fit it. I hope it can be done from inside the wheel arch and not a bumper-off job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TT Supraman Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I think I will get mine professionally fitted, provided it won't be too much. Basically I have a '93 UK spec, so the original intercoolers in them are pretty much fecked and I couldn't afford a new one so this will do.

JohnA Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I saw the one on eBay yesterday, the main pic was showing the back of it though, from the front it didn't look as good. SMICs go for around £50 here on the board anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 yeah i bought mine from scooter for £50... it is a bumper off and wheelarch job mate, you could do it from the wheelarch only if you are lucky (and very dexterous) but its not worth damaging the new one for the sake of saving yourself a couple of hours work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TT Supraman Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Can any of you guys give me instructions on how to fit the SMIC into to my soop? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
