Reason I am askign is becuase with that euro bumper I cant see there being any room. Others said they managed to get a fmic in there but LOL Me and my buddy both looked and yikes.

This is what I need to fit behind the bumper

How about rerouting the piping behind the rebar?

Black piping in front of the rad actually should be the power steering lines.

power steering cooling lines then....

you can try to bend those somewhere else... or cut the soft lines and reclamp to make them shorter.. or .. lots of options .. but be careful either way because you dont want to end up with a leaky system.

i moved my power steering pipe.. just redo the holes in the mounts and put it like 1mm from your A/C rad.. no need to disconnect anything.. just the brackets. i had to move it to fit my intercooler properly..
ZX3T gone..
