Tom, we could attempt to rebracket the brace and move it up a little bit as well if you want. The other option is Rich can mill out some aluminum spacers as well.

Looks like I should bust out the playdough and see how much clearance there is before it hits the hood.

I think I have some plates cut if you want to test spacing it.

The Full Banana · Mar 21, 2014

Brian, that would be awesome! Bring them with when you come grab the exhaust

Roundit 2000 for the harness and misc other wiring

Odyssey PC680 mounted and other bits

Sweet deal! Your using the cx racing srt4 intercooler I sold ya! I really liked the end tank design. I almost put that in my daily.

The Full Banana · Mar 25, 2014

Yep, seems like it should work out pretty well for this application.

Thanks for this picture. This will be done on my new project!

What are you going to do if you need to jumpstart the car?

J_Jones · Mar 25, 2014

Good question. Although I was talking about the wiring and getting it out of the engine bay.

Pop the hood and connect the ground cable to a bolt head in the block and the positive cable to the E36 distribution block/remote postive battery terminal. :-P

I suppose I should finish installing that and take a picture.

when you did your sound deadening (i'm sure you said it, but I'm too lazy to look) did you also use any foam padding, or MLV?

I haven't done all of it yet, but in addition to the rattle trap sound deadening, I am also using 1/8" closed-cell foam as a decoupler and 1 lb per sq ft MLV as a sound barrier.
