1.8 is out..., I'm in this up to my eyeballs Options

This escalated quickly! 1.8 is out, getting ready ready for the 2056 to go in.



I will start to clean up the engine bay and the underside of the car to prep for the new motor.]

Long day... but I managed to get some stuff done on the motor. A123 and GoWesty are in! New harness are sort of in. A lot of the hoses and wires are just laying on top of the motor until I figure out how I want to route everything. Seems like a shame to treat those new harnesses like that, Jeff did a BEAUTIFUL job on all three harnesses, they are beautiful. I am not really into the band clamps for the intake: they are big and clumsy looking. I am rying to figure out a better solution there, maybe just trimming the ends will make them less obnoxious? What do you all recommend?
