    TMICs suck ass on a daily driver level in my opinion, well at least in the summer anyway.

    So you would rather stick the IC core in front of your AC condenser + Rad. in a summer dalily driver?? If your talking about a daily driver...like it seems you are

    Both have their pros/cons....ESPECIALLY at stock power levels.... you should lighten up

    I drove with topmount as well.... so dont accuse me of not having a clue

    I can certainly say i notice the higher effort of engine cooling when the ambient temps are around 100....TMIC vs FMIC On a stock Rad even with AC removed

    Both cars are designed for what they are....each component works as it is designed to in stock trim...

    Once you start adding hp sure the advantages of a FMIC will outway those of a TMIC

      Didn't mean it to sound however you took that. TMICs on the SUBARU stink IMO for a daily driver. The cooling system is more than capable of handling itself with the intercooler infront of it, on the SUBARU.

      One time...

        I'm w/ Sweet-WRX-Lovin here, there was noticeably less lag when I was TMIC but the heat soak on my FMIC is non-existant compared to my TMIC which MORE than makes up the difference. I'll never own another vehicle that is still utilizing a TMIC if I can afford the FMIC.

          Zach, you know as well as I do that the rotary is a real HEAT MONGER. Especially when compared to ordinary piston engines. The Rx7 is also a hard car to keep cool with a front mount. The Subarus seem to be ALOT less affected by this and are easier to keep cool with a FMIC in place.
