Finally everything is ready to be built.

Can't wait to see the outcome of this!

[WABIT]

cheers dude! ill be making this a step by step sort picture thread so stay tuned

ill talk everyone through the valves that are temp built


ok, starting from left to right:

this is 1 row of valves, they could control either front or rear of the car, 2 valves per wheel, the outer valves, far left-far right and dump valves, the control the air out from each bag, in the middle you have a big T fitting, that is connected to the air tank with some hose, the air is pumped into that T fitting and then pushed into the 2 middle valves. they control air INTO the air bags, that air then gets pushed into the little nipples you see in between the IN and OUT valves, a hose is connected to that nipple and to the airbag's, also take note of the little 90deg nipples facing the camera, they are 1/4" fittings and are connected to the gauges and give me a air pressure reading inside the car. now.... all this is controlled by the black boxes on top of the valves, the wiring loom gets plugged into the valves, then plugged into the color matched switch-box wires, hence! power to control the valves going up and down! YAY!

hope you guys can understand it

i'm just waiting for the photos now huh.

i wanna see the crushed matchbox from your exhaust against the ground dom!

[WABIT]

hahahaha dont worry bout that jay! ill get vids up as soon as i get it working!

update! everything is all tight and ready for the install

basically, first thing i need to do is mock up all the positions of everything, make sure all the fittings from the tank flow correct and are at their best locations, then work out where ill run the air lines and electrical wires, i want them in the interior and through the firewall, make the job alot easier if you dont have to crawl under the car and run the lines next to the brake lines!, then ill install the struts and connect the wiring and go time!!!

ill take pictures and explain what goes where tomorrow! hopefully i can have the bags installed before the weekend! its looking reeeaaaal good!

Good **** Dom, when you do your step-by-step picture post, make sure you make a new thread!

Latest PVW has a full feature on BagYard - they make it sound like they make some revolutionary stuff there. Can't wait to see how the B3 plays.
