This must be a stupid question, but in all my reading of this forum I've never seen it come up:
How do you actually mount a generic intercooler to the front of the car? I assume it gets somehow fastened in there, but the cars probably don't have much for mounting points, and the intercoolers don't have miata-shaped brackets. What's a boy with no fabrication tools to do when he gets an intercooler?
When I did my last build I used a starion IC and we had brackets welded onto it, but I would prefer not to have to modify the IC this time.
