no dude, its that cheap because its a show piece. i saw the listing with that picture, gotta read the description, last time i saw it it said this is a show piece, not for hard driving under any circumstances.

What the hell does that even mean? Are you saying that it is meant to be bolted to the car for looks but not actually attached to the engine?!!

I mean that yes it's a full kit but the parts definitely aren't of operational quality. It's like using a grade 8 bolt for a camber bolt or driveshaft bolt.
It attaches to the engine the same way a real FMIC would, and it technically IS functional, just meant for a show car... meaning, from trailer to parking, parking to trailer, not meant for racing or hard or even daily driving.
It's not that uncommon, show cars aren't meant to be driven, hence show. Why pay out the ass for a real FMIC when its gonna cost almost a grand for a showcar when you can just buy a kit for 200 bucks?
it makes perfect sense.
Lol what a tool prolly had one of those sound simulators for turbo whine and BOV. I hope you gave him s*** constantly about this.
He did talk about getting a BOV too. I constantly informed him that a stock civic was faster than his because it weighed less. He also had 18 inch rims and lambo doors. One of the other employees raced him with his mom's '96 CRV and beat him pretty soundly.
Did I mention that one of his "dual exhausts" was simply welded onto the chassis?
I believe you turbo4 im just talkin bout ricers who put plastic intercoolers and sound simulators on FTL I was thinkin bout gettin exhaust depots kit to make my own and buyin ebay type intercooler as I have heard they are often decent quality. No interest in doin this after thinkin bout how much work it would take to change back to stock if my car went boom. Please let us all know with pics if anyone does a DIY FMIC!

You would be surprised how much power people make on ebay fmic kits. I personally know 2 locals making 700 horsepower in a dsm and over 1000 horse on a honda running these "cheap" kits. Keep buying cpe, keep talking s***, because I'm gonna blow your ass off the road for half the price. Now thats whats up
