The issue in the back was solved with the creative use of a BFH. (on a part that does'nt show, of course)

Back to the front, I did the final installation of the front cooler, this evening (August 8, 2006)

Here's a shot from above. A number of the fittings were custom made by a local hydraulics shop. Nice silver soldering of certain parts. Expensive, but appears to be worth it.

Trying to make it to the ECR. A lot of things would need to be lined up, but I might be able to start the engine this weekend.

Across the left side longitudinal, and down the side of the car. I'll have to make a block-off plate to minimize water ingress where the hard lines go through the long.:

The hard lines tuck under the longitudinal, at the back, and connect to hoses. The hose with the cloth covering is the feed from the oil tank to the engine mounted oil cooler.

There's a lot of details that needed attention, and the whole thing turned out to be more involved and more complicated to execute than I had anticipated. Luckily there's a good hydraulics supply shop not too far from my house, and they were willing to work with me. They ended machining several custom fittings (ouch). I just hope nothing leaks !
I'll work on the ignition tomorrow, and on the oil system for the tranny.
Right now, it's beer time.

Got a lot of work done on the Electromotive HPV ignition system, today.

Did most of the wiring upstream of the coils. The manual says to use a high quality relay to switch the power to the ignition. I hacked a spare 914 wiring harness and used a base for the ubiquitous (nice word, eh?) round relays that we have, plus one of those relays, of course. I assumed the current rating was high enough.

It's pretty tight, but it looks like it all fits.

I have not finished the high voltage portion of the system: I have yet to connect the spark plug connectors to the high voltage wires. In any event, I think I'll eventually get pre-made MSD wires.

So, here is what it looks like:

Went back out after dinner. Got the rear brakes finalized and adjusted the clearance. I now have a parking brake !
All that's left to do on the brakes is to fill and bleed the system. I feel like I'm getting close to a first ride.

Got a couple of hours of work in, this evening.

I almost finished plumbing the tranny oil circulation stuff. This is how it looks like now. I decided I would forego the tranny oil cooler at this stage, because I want to "get her done".

I also did more work on plumbing the twin fuel pumps, but I ran out of hose clamps so I had to stop.

I spent the day doing a lot of little things in preparation for engine start-up. I still don't have functional ignition wires.
1) I wired the twin fuel pumps.
2) I finished the fuel system, installing the fuel pressure regulator and gauge that PMO sells. It's not GT looking, but it's pretty effective. Longer term, I would like to go back to MFI (I still have my full system, from the 2.2 E).
3) I bolted the exhaust system on. I did weld a 18 x 1.5 mm nut to each heat exchanger, so that I will be able to use the Innovate O2 sensing system to help in tuning. I believe that the stock system will be plenty big for the 2.5 engine, espelcially since this is primarily a street car.
4) I installed the shift linkage.

The heat exchangers take up a lot more room than headers do, and things are now pretty tight under the engine.

Here's the modification to the heat-exchangers (ok, the welding is a little chunky):
