I'm getting ready to purchase an ST205 for my ST. But I don't know whether I want to keep the TMIC or convert to a FMIC. The TMIC would keep it more of a sleeper, but I'd want the vented style CF hood to go with. But I kinda want to have a FMIC as well. I'm thinking that which ever way I go, I'll be spending close to the same amount of money in getting a FMIC or a Vented Style CF Hood. Which would you guys recommend?

Thanks guys!

Actually that timing belt snorkle isnt functional straight from factory either, theres another plate that blanks it off. I'll find out exactly where it is and get back to yous.

The existing air vent probably doesnt have that much effect on the intercooler itself, but as said before if you have a GT4 definitly make it operational, as it lets a massive amount of heat out of the engine bay.

Plus it looks cool when it rains... biggrin.gif
