dnac 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Awesome Car Mate, If mine comes out half as nice as this I wil be happy. Anyway, I like the Stainless injector lines you have, can you tell me where to get some please as I think they tidy the engine bay up no end on their own.

C. Will Corrado G60 2 0 Posted January 8, 2007 JBOB, These kit must have come a long way since I last looked at them. Lots of people said they just don't give the same ride as a good coilover kit. If they do ride as well, I WANT THEM NOW!!...............if you don't mind saying how much did you pay or how much is a set? Also how big are the gas tanks? Really likin your mate, nice work.

24V Renshaw 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Looking good mate. Will have a look at the next Sherburn meet. One thing I don't get with air ride. How do you know what height you are at and consequently the tracking must be all over the shop? Unless you go back to exactly the same position every time you drive, the tracking will be off from where it was set..... Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBOB 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks guys :D 8) Goldie Got the Mag. Cheers mate :D C. Will Corrado G60 2 The ride is much much better than I thought it would be from the OLD stuff id read about air ride. Its still quite expensive though but I managed to p/x my coilovers for the air ride from a mate in Leeds who had it on his car for about 12 months. He put wider wheels on (10's I think he said :lol: ) and they rubbed through one of the rear bags, so he got me two new ones for the back. I got 2 2.5l tanks with the kit so I bought another 10l one. The two small ones fit under the false floor in the boot and the larger one behind the rear seats. Still loads of room for my sub/amp's Jay I set the height that I would do 99% of my driving at and had the tracking done. Ive got a PSI gauge with the control switches so I know what pressure I need the bags to be at that height. Seems to be working so far :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
