Sheefa Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Just spoke to Chris Wilson and it looks like i'll be needing a new set of hard pipes for my FMIC. He said they'll be around £50 each to make up, so that's £300! Might as well get a new Greddy intercooler altogether in that case! Can anyone fabricate pipes on here or do you know of someone who can and is cheaper? I don't know the brand of my FMIC so can't get replacement ones. Help!

mkirby Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 i was looking at a load of custom stuff made up but in the end i bought some intercooler pipekits from ebay in the US, think 2 of them cost me £110 and came in 3 days and i made up what i needed from all the different pipes which come with them Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnd-mkiv Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I looked into making my own but there is few companys out there that can do a 90 deg bend using ally and not buckle it, your best bet is to get the ebay kit as said above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 Thanks Supradibbs. Trouble is my car is at CWs at moment so can't get it there. Were the pipes expensive to do? I haven't got a clue on brand of intercooler and the previous seller, this tw@t called Michael Huwen as ignored all calls and emails over the last 4 weeks! Can't afford to pay £300 just for some hardpipes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 can you not get the car there on the stock smic???if not i think paying the 300 quid is your only option if you cant move the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 The car can actualy be driven alright, just not too far mate. I drove it to Chris's anyway. The actual silicone hosing was split but the pipes are really bent and mangled so the airflow is clearly restricted and could be dangerous. Plus, in all honesty, I would prefer Chris to do it as I trust him 100% and he knows the car better than anyone mate. Trouble is, I think he'll source these pipes from somebody and hence the cost. Ideally I just want some similar ones fabricated. At a lost end it seems................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
