This view was taken from the turbo area, looking forward & down into the bumper area. Probably can't see much there.

Here's a view looking straight down the hood opening from above, angled a bit towards the front bumper.

Here's a shot of the driver's side. Notice the cut-out area on the right side, roughly following the hood release cable.

Similar cut-out section on passenger side, though as the next 2 pictures show, these cuts are more savage.

Here's the R1 oil cooler piping. Looks like I'm missing (or lost in my shop!) the fitting needed to connect one of the hoses to the pass. side cooler.

Here's a shot of the front with the bumper removed. The bumper was missing the reinforcement beam, and the plastic air splitter piece. I picked up a used R1 dual oil cooler setup that I'll be installing. Anything else missing here? The aftermarket radiator mount seemed janky - the radiator "pegs" on the bottom set in the factory rubber mount points, but that was about all there was supporting the rad once the FMIC was removed.

One last picture - I noticed in the FSM that it doesn't say anything about replacing those O-rings in the oil cooler line fittings. Thought that was odd, and I'm inclined to replace them anyway, especially since these are used lines. Anyone know the Mazda part # or size of these rings? Pulling one out might trash them, since they are in there TIGHT.

And version 1 of the prototype bracket. Final version will probably be a continuous piece of AL bar stock, bent in the right places to match the critical dimensions.

View from the front, got a couple of inches between the radiator & PS cooling line to fit a AC condenser.

Here's where the radiator hangs up on the bumper reinforcement.

Here's a shot of the tight fit with the relay box - radiator needs to go lower, but that ain't happening unless I do a bit of grinding on the bumper reinforcement - not an option!

This is the other side - radiator doesn't hang on the bumper on this side, but since it does on the other, you can see the big gap between the radiator & bracket that is supposed to be supporting it
