Here's the link to my new pics. First time in 1.5 years I've had it outside for pictures.

Whoa, dude your car is hot as hell. The FMIC looks really good. I don't know if I like it up in front or way in the back better, but lemme tell ya, yours looks awesome. Your whole car... everything! That is just one sweet ride. At first I was gonna ask about painting that lip white, but I like the black too.

Yeah, either way it'd look awesome. S5 mirrors would look sweet on your car too... since you've got a lot of the S5 cosmetics anyways. Once again... hella nice ride! BTW, where are you in Ohio, I'm in Cincy.

I go to school in Toledo and the car stays safe from campus back home with my parents in Akron.
The only thing that's S5 on the car is the tail lights. The rest is standard S4 10th ann pieces. The front bumper was just opened up to allow for the FMIC...plus I think it looks alot better than with that damn bar down the middle.
On a side note, the car used to run at 175 with the huge *** radiator, now with the FMIC installed it runs at about 185. Still doesn't kick the fan on
and I haven't installed the top air delfector (under the overflow bottle).

Oh yeah, the mods are a comin. This summer is the base of the pyriamid. Cooling, fuel, intercooler and stand alone. I'm doing the fuel lines and rats nest removal next. Then porting the turbo and wastegate and then hooking up the microtech.
This winter will be suspension mods. 2 part foam, coilovers, toe eliminator, full urthane bushings and perhaps a cage.
Then it's off to the dyno and the track to see how fast I can go on the stock turbo. Once I'm satisfied with that, it's turbo time.
The kill switch and charge terminals are to ease jumpstarting or charging in the garage and the switch is to keep it legal for the tracks.
In the meanwhile, my daily driver is an 82 olds 88, which ironically is awaiting it's 3.42 posi swap (has crap 2.42 open) and TH-350 race trans with 2500rpm stall torque converter. Between these two projects I'll also be building up a chevy 350 to go into the olds. The olds will actually be my bracket car and NO ONE will ever expect that...holy sleeper batman. Once this gets kicked off, it'll be search time for a new daily driver, which I think will be an early to mid 90's civic. I need something that gets over 20 mpg for that commute to work.

questions: thats the greddy fmic kit right? how did you work out the issues with fitment, if there were any? where did you get those gauge faces?

The gauge faces were purchased off ebay. They called them silver reverse indiglo. I also bought some super bright and really small blue leds to help with the front lighting as the gauge needles can be kind of hard to see without additional lighting.
As for fitting the IC, I had to trim up the front bumper openings to allow everything to fit. It would be damn near impossible to get the bumper fit without buldging out. I think I took about 1" off the top and inside edge of both brake duct holes and about 2" off the bottom of the radiator opening. And obviously the bars in the grill were removed.
I also decided against running the front bumper. After looking how much would need to be trimmed, I said screw it..don't crash. So with the bumper supports off, I had to saw off a little nub that helped locate the bumper supports and a stud that bolted them down. Other then that, enlarge the hole on the pass side that the head light wiring goes through and the hole that is on the drivers side that was used for the headlight washer (if so equiped..but all cars still have the hole)
