Gorgeous FD's.

A majority of these cars have Vmounts. With less than five of these cars with FMIC.

I used to be a smic diehard but I guess that was just ignorance. I heard people mention radiator cooling problems with a fmic so that whyI stuck with the re-amemiya (basically greddy)smic. would work welel when cool but let it heat soak it was crap. Went front mount never had high intake temps again. I think some work better than others for allowing air to flow through to the radiator. I currently use the greddy 3 row and have no problems. My new car I just purchased has a knightsports vmount setup so when it arrives from Japan I can see how it fairs to the fmic. I don't think there will be any difference as my fans are set to 84 on my datalogit anyway. I think this is more of a an issue if there is one with people who don't have a datalogit.
