Sharpie Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 So, I got my old FMIC back and put it on the scales to compare with the SMIC I took off the car back in July last year. The SMIC comes in at 4.9Kg and the HKS FMIC comes in at 8.4Kg but, you can see that there is a little of the end tank mising so, I would say 8.5Kg in total.

Syed Shah Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Thanks for the info Peter. Confirms my belief that a FMIC adds nothing when the removal of both the SMIC and the auto spoiler + motor are taken into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 Oh, I forgot about the auto spoiler, I'll see what the weight is of this as I have the complete unit in my garage. It is a little heavy I know that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syed Shah Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Possibly Matt, but we would not know for sure unless we weighed all four corners of the car. The logic is there though, as the turbos, IC and driver are all on the DS in stock form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Nice one. I was always under the impression that the difference was ALOT greater. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
