Lovely car
if you dont mind me asking how much is the air ride setup hitting you back?
carnt wait for the updates good luck with the wiring

[sithlord]

It was suprisingly cheap at 850 quid

Buy came with no wiring
No clamp for the tank
No pneumatic diagram
And some polish instructions

Ive figured most of it out now just need to find a clamp for the tank

[sithlord]

Ok so after some searching and trial and error ive found a way to at least mount the tank into my car



HGV air brake resavoir straps
Perfect for the job and only 16 quid

So ill mount that and the compressor and solenoids this week hopefully
Then i can start running wiring

[EFinLow2]

hells yeh!
looking forward to this

[sithlord]

Continuing with the slowest air ride install ever seen



Ive grounded the compressor and pressure switch and ran a few lines

Atm its all just to see whats what and how it works as i never have before haha

[sithlord]

double post sorry

[vtectransplant]

Slowly slowly catchy monkey!

Continuing with the slowest air ride install ever seen

mate ive been on this forum donkeys and my cars probably gotten worse if anything haha, u dont get much slower progress than me!
looks tidy bud

[sithlord]

Haha fair enough man
Ill get it sorted a bit more
The solenoids are what are worrying me most as they have basically no instructions or markings to wire up....

But ill pop them on and just play randomly till something happens

[sithlord]

Ok so little more on this after my above post where really i achieved nothing i redid most of it and ended up with this



Still not 100% happy with it but at least it worked and i got the tank to pressurise right up till i shorted out the pressure switch....

So i need a new one of those now
However as a quick fix ive put a simple switch in its place so i can at least put air into the tank to play with my solenoids one day
Hopefully i can get them in this weekend

[sithlord]

ok so little update on this the air is in and kind of working
the rear works ok but doesnt go much lower than the car was static
the front well lets just say it needs work
and im not overly happy with the compressor either

but for a cheap kit i didnt expect perfect

however its a step closer to where i want it
just gotta sort it out i guess

[sithlord]

Ok guys here we go with pics of the car

Fully down



Front drop is disapointing....



Rear isnt bad but it doesnt quite go as low as id want...



Fully up



Again front is a lot less than the rear....





The car works but tbh im not happy
I knew for a cheap kit it wouldnt be brilliant but its worse than i expected tbh

Best get the lathe and mill out i guess

[EFinLow2]

good job with the fitting bud hope you get the drop sorted, looks like theres quite a bit more travel on the rears
got to be the first 4g saloon on air in the uk i imagine

[Gizmo]

you need some Drop Forks for the front, Lower it by a good inch

[sithlord]

Where can i get drop forks?

And i think it is a uk first!
