!!5sfte!!, the second coming! Options

yep, you heard me. I'm coming back to the 5sfte community. Doing things a little different this time around, here's what I can remember so far that I'm doing differently:

Genuine HKS BOV, the new 2007 design
Got my injectors cleaned and flow tested at witchhunter. They were is poor condition before and are great now!
Going with a SAFCII instead of a neo. I got it for about $75 cheaper, and it measures knock. I was gonna get a greddy emanage ultimate, but I don't have a laptop to tune it with and it just looked too complicated for me to figure out how to tune it by myself, so maybe I'll upgrade later.
Got a custom stailness braided oil feed and drain line kit made specifically for my 5sfte. I just gotta weld a fitting onto my oil pan but I'm having a hard time finding someone willing to do it.
I'm fixing my radiator fan which was broken before. the motor fell out of the blade cause it was hooked up wrong
I'm using a regular sized radiator instead of the koyo, for a little more engine bay room
I'm relocating the battery to the trunk
and I'm cutting my IC piping down a lot for a cleaner install, might even paint them like LewFX

that's all I can think of right now, pictures to come. hope to be running by the end of the week after 6 months of down time!

went to a pick'n'pull today and was surprised to see a 6th gen celica there! it was an 94 ST in the same color as my car. but almost everything had already been stripped from the car. all the interior pieces were gone except the steering wheel and dash board, the engine was gone but it still had a transmission (I think it was manual, but I'm not sure). I got what I wanted from it though, a radiator fan shroud and fan blade! also got me a couple different oil dipsticks from 4th gen celica 3sfe's and one from a 5sfe from a 5th gen. I broke my dipstick while trying to get it out and haven't had a way to check my oil level since. but the reason why it broke was because it hit my downpipe and there is no way to pull it out and get it back in while the downpipe is still in place. I'm wondering if other people with 5sfte's have this problem or if it's just me? if so, what have you done to fix it?

I also took a look at a buddy's (Cali_Jeff) battery relocation set-up and I have a good idea how I'm going to do mine now, I just can't decide between running the wires under the car or under the door sill and behind the plastics.

and one last thing, I tried figuring out how I was going to cut down my IC piping and as I was poking around, I came up with a different method of routing it all together. I took a pic of the mock-up to give a general idea. I need to cut up a bunch of the piping, but this'll give the general idea. what do you think?
