UPDATE:

So things have been slow AGAIN!! This time of year is never good for me, anyway I have been working on the FC when time allows.

I have almost finished fabricating my 4'' CAI just like rx7builders. I just have to fit my S5 front bumper to see how much room my air filter will have near the passenger brake duct so it doesnt hit. I cant decide if I want to powercoat the piping black or not. Here are the pre-staging pics:

I had to replace my throttle cable since the first cable un-wound on me will trying to put on a swedge. New one fits great and I have 100% throttle with the pedal to the floor.

Replaced my fuel rail Russel adapter with a Summit compression fitting...just not comfortable with the plastic clip on the rail. Not worth the risk IMHO. Really hating the blue fuel lines now...they may go black too.

Got my Willwood 7/8th bled....WHAT A PROCESS!! The only word of advise I can give for new members is to make the Master Cylinder Rod as short as possible(meaning fully threaded through the clutch pedal clevis). I have a tick performance speed bleeder so the job only required ME. It only took about 4bleed cycles to get the entire system air free. All that is left is to adjust the pedal throw come time when I start to drive it.

I did get my Magnaflow muffler tips welded on my 6" mufflers (thanks Ransom!!). They will look tits!

Here is how the motor sits right now...collecting dust:

...ignore the BDC sticker lol
