OEM S13 SMIC - P.I.T.A fitment????/

[MrFairlady]

Trying to go ahead and knock out installing the SMIC for my swap we are doing this weekend...Why does the damn SMIC not fit worth a damn behind the Bumper??I haven't even cut the Extra hole or installed the pipes yet either.
The Fender Comes in contact w/ it and pushes it out a bit???
Bracket Kind of lines up to mount it but Damn...This sucks.What is Missing that the JDM car has??
can't imagine when I try to Re-install the Bumper how its gonna fit.

Anyone have Issues.

This is a S13 hatch I'm installing it on.Buddy let me use it as he got a FMIC and had this SMIC installed on his COupe.

Mine fit on no problems. Don't even think I pulled the bumper off to toss mine on. Not sure how it'd fit on a pignose car though, as it came pretty close to the outside of my Miata(chuki) bumper, and I think the pignose bumper is a bit tighter up front from eyeballing it.

Well..I had to loosen the Fender damn near all the way off...Bumper HAD to come off.
I'm running Kouki 180sx bumper w/ lip deal so we'll see how it fits.I just think I'll have to run the bumper Real poked out on the side depending how the piping Pulls it more toward the Frame (side of Rad support deal)

I just don't see it happning.

Bend the brackets then, It should fit tight to the body.
