Another busy afternoon. Started off by sorting out all the grounds that needed to be terminated in the bay. Cut off the connectors of the two wires from the headlight harness and spliced them into one. Then joined that wire, the stratified controller ground, and the two oil sensor grounds into one eyelet to mount on the bolt on the transmission mount. Overall looks pretty clean I think.
Some of the wires coming out of the stratified controller were pretty long so I gave em the old service loop with a ziptie
Here's the path the wires are taking. I ziptied them together to keep it cleaner. the 4 green are for the sensors (signal and ground), the cam position sensor for stratified, and the wires to control the aux injector.
Got the new rear pcv hose in as well since the old one was leaking where it connected to the valve:
Tyrolsport MC brace went in also. Had to open up the top hole a bit in order to fit but that was easy with a drill and had no issues getting it installed after:
How the whole bay looks right now:
Getting ready to put the front clip on so just need to finish up everything on there. I snapped this plastic piece off walking by before so JB weld is coming to the rescue again. I was getting tired holding it in place so electrical tape came in clutch
Also think I found a good spot for the oil cooler. The bracket I got should let me only have to drill two holes in the crash bar, and two in the plastic part below, instead of cutting out sections of the crash bar. Also the cooler doesn't make contact with the intercooler so there's less heat exchange there which is nice:
The hoses will come out and just be able to go right up infront of the intercooler and through a hole right on top of the front clip to the adapter plate.
(Hint: Was "popular" with some mk2's 3's and 4's.)
