Install Day 14
OK folks, install day 14 is here and my "A" key is broken on my keyboard. So I have to hit 'ctrl-v' to paste an 'a' every time I want one. And sometimes my left shift key activates the 'a' key as well. 'A' is in a lot of words. New keyboard tomorrow.
First off, FoSho here are the pics that you asked about. I may plumb the IAT back into the charge piping still. Still have to think about it.
You figured out the coolant reservoir but here's a shot of mine anyway. Note the zip ties holding it in. No more bolts since the slimlines and Koyo radiator went in.
Now the only other things I did today were to put the windshield moulding back on, re-install the wipers, and I also fully installed the radiator. The lower hose is right up against the charge pipe down there so I will have to do something about that at a laaaaaaater date. The key sticks too. Love it.
Anyway, I also made this possible today:
Yay!!!!!! My hood closes all the way and I didn't have to cut a ginormous hole in the middle of it! Insert happy dance <here>! I just grabbed the Dremel with a crappy cutting wheel on it and started hackin' away at the underside. Here is the material I cut away.
You can see it there to the right of the hood latch above the vent. I didn't have to break the outer integrity of the hood at all. I did have to grind a tiny half-circle to let the WG vac-line fitting not rub, but that was it.
And that was all I did today. Belt still isn't here and the exhaust still isn't done. Like I said I'll be going by my welder's place tomorrow to see what the deal is. I'm still OK with it not being done because my alternator belt hasn't shown up yet. However its game-fucking-on if that belt shows up and he still hasn't MIG'd up the exhaust.
