win win win

haha you knew it was going to happen

Cheers everyone.
Big thanks to Dom for hooking me up !

Hittin' tha switches for da bitches !

im curious to know how they compare to a decent coilover setup, i realise the comfort is there for plotting along but what are they like for spirited driving ?

That there, was some funny **** ! Hittin tha switches for da bitches !! Ha
As for ride comfort, Dom took me for a drive in his car & I was very suprised on how nice the ride was.

comparing it to decent coils I couldnt answer that one.
I'll be glad to get these babys on the ride will be soooo much more smoother.

Im giving myself 2-3 weeks on this install as im going for a very unique show finish boot install,running copper hardlines so on.
like this.

This doesnt mean mine will look anything like that.

Tiiiiiiiiight !! Cant wait to see pics !!

ok update time.

Because Im making custom Air Tanks, They HAVE to be pressure tested for the obvious reason.

Tanks will hold 150psi which is huge !
Me & the old man hydrostatic tested them the propa way to test them really.
Pics.

150psi


190psi (just to make sure)





Slowly getting there .

I insist you get some dope wheels worthy of this setup!!! Tell me its so!!

[Cookie28]

^ x2, I reckon some 3 piece wheels with polished lips, white centres and gold bolts would look amazing!!

Thanks Dylan, I like to try different things as often as possible.


Trust me I want DOPE wheels, but there all too wide or too big... Yes again Im going out side the box.
I dont want wide wheels, call me weird what ever I just could not be Fked with the widening of the wheel arches .

Ideally.. I want no bigger then 16s (so I can drop the car as low as possible)
No wider the 7 MAX, Impossible? If so then the steelies it is.

Finished the tank holders 25+hrs of labour so far..







In other News Ive brought new plugs & leads

... My car was running crappy..And still is ! Its driving like a leads still loose,I put the foot down and the car really struggles ?? anyone else had this It putters sounds like its about to die..

check all vacuum hoses and check coil pack see if its sparking

Crazy!!!!!!!

With the air tanks though, how's the compression testing going? I always thought air tanks were meant to be cylindrical as there were less weak spots (edges?) in it compared with others.

Ok will do, cheers Dark.

Your spot on Ray, Air tanks ideally should be Round Cylindrical, Theres almost no weak points.
I was looking at hundreds of boot installs to get ideas when I thought to my self almost No ones done Square tanks for the obvious reasons,So I thought lets give it a go.

You wouldnt go much larger then my tanks as im sure they would bulge

If you look on page 11 you can see the Air tanks were all pressure tested

Top shots man !!
Every time I look at it, I see more an more detail !
As for ur engine problem, maybe it's time for a quick refresh !
Put new gaskets clean out the intake, throttle body wipe any grime an soot off the piston heads, chamber heads, ports etc
Put new filters alround + new oil. After all shiit u'll be shootin 110killer wasps hopefully
Actually put a mk4 metal head gasket, it's suppose to give another 5-8kw !
An that coolant bottle's lookin sad in corner there ! Your doin all this work at the back, might as well do something at the front. Shiny inlet mani & new coolant bottle ?
Complete package FTW !!!
