The cold air intake system was finished before the fourth of July. On the left is the new right turn that goes through the radiator support and into the engine bay. I ended up fiberglassing together the aluminum pieces. It could have been welded, but I had the materials and skill to do it with fiberglass. Several hours of work to save three quarters of a pound, but more importantly, it makes a clean transition along the radiator support. A silicon coupler joins to the MAF/MAP sensor, then the 90 degree aluminum bend brings it into the throttle body. Not pictured, but on the other side of the radiator support, a 45 degree silicon elbow brings it under the hood down to a 90" bend and down to the air filter.
The PCM mount was another three hour tour - probably one of those to be continued episodes. The pins on the right side go into firewall insulation hold-down grommets, and the left side bolts to the under dash birdcage. Hopefully not too much lost footroom for the passenger, and clear of the kick panel and speaker.
