Help with FMIC install (Pic included)
So I take off the oem fmic and get ready to install the AMS one, only to find out that the holes don't line up at all.
The oem holes are vertical and directly behind the fmic... while the AMS mount has them horizontal and outwards.
I included a pic incase I made no sense
Help please!

Sweet thank you guys!
I didn't have enough to time finish tonight, but will definitely do so tomorrow.
Note to self allow more than 2 hours to complete a job when doing so for the first time!

So Mitsu made the hood and front fenders out of aluminum to take weight off of the front of the car, but then added some under the intercooler to "balance" the car?

OT, but the weight is very low in the car's center of gravity whereas the fenders and hood are much higher. Adding weight that low definitely helps with the overall balance of the car. Albeit I would just remove the weight and then remove the interior of the trunk, balance re-achieved lol.
On the VIII MR's and IX MR's, Mitsubishi stated that adding an aluminum roof lowered the cars center of gravity by 3 inches.
