UPDATE: **Pictures** of what's going on in my car....

Okay, there was a nasty rumor going around that my latest project was not going to happen, but it's all good to go now, so here are a few quick shots of the new toys..

THIS IS THE BEFORE SHOT



THIS IS THE AFTER SHOT



Close up... Needs to be cleaned.

Okay, the explination is the chromed compressors for my new air ride suspension are mounted, and the coolant was relocated.. You can also see the 1st Whelen Strobe power supply for the front strobes mounted under the cold air intake (above post), and the rear 2nd whelen strobe power supply mounted next to the rear valves on the back of my subwoofer box..


Compressors from above..



Compressors a little bit closer..



Rear Valves and my 2nd whelen strobe kit power supply

The air ride isn't all in yet..

I have mounted the 4 valves (1 behind each fender and the other 2 on the sub box as seen above), the compressors, 3/4 of the air lines have been run, all wiring has been run (just not connected).

I am waiting for the rear cylinder mounts, more air line, more fittings and the gauges to get here mid week this week and hopefully everything will be done by this weekend..

keep posting pics

I just ordered my kit from Alex last Monday, so keep posting them pics. Hadn't decided where to mount compressors yet. Where did you relocate your coolant to?

I think theres too many things going on in the trunk for that, and its cleaner that way... More space to work in the back

Almost there, but one thing you need to look at is the angle that the line is going from the compressor to the tank, you need to make it more of a 90 degree or straight line. What you have looks like it will kink over time! And that is not a good thing. If you need any supplies line, fittings, gauges or whatever let me know I have a bunch laying aroung that I could sell you! Congrats on the Air!!!

alex has some stuff coming this week, air line, fittings, and my gauges so i can finish everything up.. as for right now the air line is not kinked, but i will keep a close eye on it, and if it's a problem i'll move the compressors slightly.. i am getting my switches done at the same way, with a vinyl cover over the cupholder with the switches mounted flush to it.. should be hot, will be done by the weekend i hope, and gauges are going in the glove box or in the dash, or above the vents.. money is a slight issue now so that is dependant cuz of job crap.. gimme a call sometime this week you should have the number.

thai - i hardly have much room in the trunk for the compressors to be seen anywhere and to keep the clean look.. the big *** chrome tank should do fine, and when i get the JL amps chromed that should help..
