Update:
All new brake lines and clutch lines have fitted through out And the addition of a hydraulic handbrake
Pics of that hopefully tonight

Radiator Mounted aswell as the colour modified throttle body setup





Also the twin tial bov fitted (love the finish on them)



Process pic of Justin from PROWIRE wiring up my coil setup
Doing a awesome job as usual


And lastly a progress pic of my cluster set up
When test fitting the cluster I noticed there was a huge gap between the cluster mounting and the cluster outer trim .. So I bought a spare s5 cluster and disassembled it and removed the outer trim and trimmed the inner plastic surrounding the gauges and slowly sanded it completely smooth the cut and fitted the haltech racepak holder and glued and filled into place





Then dropped it off to the paint shop to paint To get painted a OEM plastic black
So it all looks clean factorish

Also a teaser shot of the braided lines setup
Thats gettin picked up today By the boys at race solutions

Well we worked some big hours to get the car done to debut it at the world time attack 2012
Show n shine and also reason being I leave for work overseas for 6+weeks for work


Didn't. Get to many pictures cause everyone was busy working away



My friend Justin setting up wiring sensors
The cars running haltech coolant.oil pressure,fuel pressure, exhaust ETG's, wideband, eflex, plus many more
Sensors to make sure everything is 100%



We got it started and WOW the thing sounds ******* awesome !!
I will have to load a vid up we I get home .

Any here's some pics I got from the car at the show..
There's still heaps to do on it but there's plenty time for that
Plus a few little things to change..
Anyways hope u like it .!

Gotta repair the rear Diffuser after it got damaged from the tow truck driver but that's easy fix

Car looks immaculate. I hate when you update because I instantly start looking for 20b blocks.
What mounts did you use, custom? Any reason for going 2nd gen CAS and not 3rd gen?

As for the CAS side of things not really as far as I know there isn't any big issues with them
