Here is the new cbrd fmic and cbrd mini rad installed on my car. For the mini fan zipties are not an option due to core density. They will not fit threw!! Brackets for mini fan were fabbed up and you can ask Chad @CBRD about that! I got em. The fmic was greatly bigger than my 3.5 ams fmic. I mean huge!! Fitment was perfect!! Here are some pics.

 

I think this is the best fmic out thier! The mini rad as you can see still always me to retain my a/c. Awesome cbrd ftmfw!!!

 

Is CBRD's IC too large to fit with the stock radiator/AC?

 

no sir! fits like a glove!! It's as big as you can go without modifications or deleting stuff. Looks sweet right?

 

What exactly do you mean by "greatly bigger" then your old AMS intercooler? Is it just 3.5" vs 3.8"? Have you noticed a cooling efficiency difference between the two?

 

It does look good!

Just like everything else that comes out CBRD doors from what I can tell.

 

it was about 2.5" longer and 1.25" taller when we compared them!

thanks for the kind words!

both the mini radiator and the fmic fit without modification to anything

cb

 

here is my car with both!! differences are greatly noticable!!

 

you mean CBRD makes a product that both looks good and fits right ? How strange !!!

Looks good man, Chad and the crew make some great products. Personally, im waiting on him to drop a mini radiator on the floor and scuff it up a bit so i can get a discount on one lol. I wish Chad would just sponsor me as his military CBRD evo lol...i could only dream.

 

On cbrds you can't even see the end tanks. If you look threw the little slits on the upper middle of the bumper you can see the fmic goes the whole way up also, unlike the buschur fmic that doesn't go the whole way up and pushes down on the bottom tray. I'd say this is the best fmic without having to hack up your car, on the market!

 

His prices are up thier but you get what you pay for. I'm probally gonna get in some sh*t for this but oh well! I saw on Chad's desk how much a core was and what he sells it for after the endtanks and brackets are put on. He can't posibly make much off of us. I own pizza shops and with that profit margin I would sell them for at least 1000$ for me knowing profit margins. That would be me selling large pizzas for 5$!!! No sir! He's a good dude!

 

Looks clean. The CBRD FMIC is the best. Everytime I see the mini CBRD rad I think of those old heineken mini keg commercials with the girls wooing over it. Or was that a whopper mini....IDK

 

what kinda pizza?

 

Hmmm Interesting. Have to look into these. Just bought a BR race

 

Just a plain cheese! Lol! Www. Brothers-restaraunt.com
