fake front mount intercooler (pic inside)

rushdylan · 03-10-2013, 11:57 PM

okay maybe its not a fake FMIC, but its not operational! i was at a car meet today and noticed this STI has no couplers/hoses/piping ran to his FMIC. i looked in the scoop and noticed an oem STI intercooler still there. so then i knelt down and put my finger into the FMIC coupler and sure as ****, there was absolutely NOTHING there! i asked him to pop his hood but he refused. so i decided to take a picture right in front of him instead. heres for laughs!

Shoulda taken the picture from a higher angle so that the TMIC was visible.

Wow, what a coincidence. I live in VA but am a subscriber to his channel and remembered he mentioned about a meet he was having somewhere in CA

What an amazing thread.

Said no one.

What if it's a 2.5i and the top mount is also fake!?!?!?

That would explain him not wanting to show you under the hood.

What else do you expect from someone with an Illest emblem on their car? It is the definition of poser.

Pretty standard in the honda world......we call it an interfooler. What do you expect when you go to these meets or car shows?

Dmochowski · 03-11-2013, 07:25 AM

you could always put the front mount intake on there!

I got stuck with a partial front mount install. my 5 year old lost a coupler and 2 clamps and I had to use the tmic for about a week until the new one came in the mail. what the point of trying to embarrass the kid? disrespect is insane in the Subaru community.
