(pics) update on my car - Musashi

As I said on an earlier thread, newly re-rebuilt engine was dropped in last weekend. After working out a few kinks, it was back on the road on Monday! it was off the road for exactly a month. One of the kinks was leaking oil lines to the newly installed SE oil cooler (to replace the beehive). So I bought steel braided oil lines from Mazdatrix and got them installed:

Thanks. I'm in progress on cleaning the sides of the engine bay.

The braided lines are $103. Not bad being that each of the stock ones are like $80 = $160.
