Hi mate. Yes bought the armtech kit with launch control quite some time ago now for mine but only now it's almost ready to connect up was looking at yours the oyher night and I like the way yours is set up

Hope your kits still ok and didn't get damaged mate

**philr5t** · 08-02-2011, 11:10

A fun evening last night sitting in my conservatory soldering up the new carbon panel for the dash i have made, was quite tricky and very involved but i have done it in a way so only 1 live and 1 earth feeds all switches and buttons. Green cables and blue cables feed the components being used. next job on thursday is to try and get it all linked up and working in the dash

A good days work today on the 5 but no pics yet, managed today to get 90% of the dash finished just some tidying up left to do now to get it all neat again,I have now managed to wire up front fogs,rear fogs,hazards and rear heated screen all off the new led buttons.I have also connected all the toggles I'm using that work my charge cooler,front washer jets,front wipers, permanent ignition live,auxiliary live and main ignition live. So now I have no ignition barrel and the car is now cranking perfect on the push button start. Left to do on the dash is connect up turbo timer,rev limmiter and launch control and Lecky windows

Will update pics as soon as
