Jacks are up and running! Pardon the poor photo, I was as far back as I could get. I had to redo the fittings on the long hoses because my brain transposed the torque values. I also used Loctite 5452 on my second attempt. After that, no leaks!
i love mine too ha!

Filled up my car’s tank. Filled the tanks in my trunk. I’ve got 20 gallons of E85 to burn at the track tomorrow.

Got a foot plate in too.

Thanks to @Chuckls for helping me find and install the OTS files.

Also ordered SpeedFactory UEL header and Perrin exhaust.

Just an observation, is it a good location? Only asking as the underbelly of your car has fought a fair few battles...

Very fair observation!
Actually its not as bad as the photo makes it look, the lowest point of the cooler is probably still about 8-10cm above the base of the sumpguard.... and about 5cm above the lower front lip.
The plastics surrounding the cooler are clear of any witness marks so far (unlike the lower front lip which looks like its been attacked with a grinder!)
I'm about to put a mesh guard over the cooler to protect against road debris, and the other bonus is the plastic panel it is mounted in can actually deflect upwards to a fair degree if it does struck something solid.
