my cca FMIC **updated with pics ** 56K beware
 

the UPS man brought my CCA IC today... I got it mounted to the bumper, but the pipes will have to wait until tomorrow (gotta make a trip to the old mans house, he's got the welder).

I'll post up pics when I'm done (as promised in the great CCA group buy page). The car is a 95 civic ex with the greddy kit. I got the bumper cover all trimed up, but there isn't going to be much room for the pipes. I got the 6" tall IC with the IN/OUTLETS centered on the end tanks... think that I should have got the offset to the bottom tanks instead. The pipes are going to have to go through the bottoms of the little fog light openings on each side. I think that the bottom offset tanks would have cleared the openings completely, but nothing a little diegrinder work cant cure. I just hope I don't have to cut up the bumper much more then I already have ... It'll be easier to explain with pics, so I'll try to get them up tomorrow night.

That's the first I have seen someone brace the charge pipes. Looks good. :)

I was too lazy to weld a bead around the ends of the pipes... hopefully that brace will hold things together.

anyone ever look at a GMC turbo diesel truck? they use tabs welded at the end of the charge pipes with a bolt thing (yep, thats technical, but thats as close as I can get to describe it ;D) that keeps the pipes from popping loose... pretty cool.

Re:my cca FMIC **updated with pics ** 56K beware
 

i think i know what your talking about. theres two tabs one on each pipe and a bolt goes through both tabs and then it bolts up? your ic looks GREAT. but White civics are the shiet. :P
