FMIC Installation

[Prodigyman]

Hay guys I am installing my 31” FMIC on my 97 GSX ATM. Still deciding on which a FMIC piping kit to get but my question is how exactly do I reroute the power steering line? Do I just CUT it and use some tubes with clumps to reroute it? I think fluids will all leak out so I guess I have to refill it? Also what about the temperature now? When I touch mine ATM its pretty hot and right at the front with a lot of piping distance to cool it down….


My second and I think most important question is when I bought my car 2 month back I had some shitty looking aftermarket bumper cover so now I got my stock 97+ front and also in process of installing it. The thing is when I took old one off I didn’t have that bar thing which connects the 2 brackets at the front and holds the bumper tight to the headlights (right now I have about 2 cm distance between lights and the bumper). With large FMIC I cant put it back on so how do you guys make it fit and lifted to the headlights? And the bottom end of the cover also has a lot of holes but I have nothing holding it… should I maybe fabricate something by my self or there is something else I should do?

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Unbolt the cooler and bend it up and behind that support it is bolted to.

I'm in the same boat as you with the little gap under the headlights, haven't come up with anything yet.

As for the bottom there is a metal brace that bolts to it, I'm sure you could go to the dealer and pick it up for 20 bucks.

Don't know if you can do this to a 2g. But on my 1g, I removed the whole power steering line and just reroute it back with the existing rubber hose.

I also removed the steel bumper assembly... without the FMIC I had gap under the headlights too but when I installed the FMIC it must have pushed and hold my bumper up higher... now there is no more gap.
