You can never have too much of this stuff - thread seal tape.

Wah-la. System is on and compressor is working perfect. Tank filled up all the way to 145~ PSI and the entire system did a test on the front and rear bags. Everything looks to be working correctly.

The rear fits perfect. The pictures really don't do these wheels justice.

You BETTER make it back to the shop on Tuesday mister!!!!

I may work around my schedule. I have meetings in morning, cable guy in early afternoon and ill try to high-tail it to the shop and work in the early evening.


Mmmm fuck all that lol


That's too much work for my liking

The install is not for everyone and it was somewhat challenging with the rear of the vert. I had to take a couple breaks before I went all JeffK and broke something useful.

I am really excited to polish up the corners though of the project.

I had to go to 3 different auto stores, they only had the larger ATC ones when I needed the ATM. The pin that was included to tap into the circuit won't work on the mini fuses that the newer cars have.

I may have to chase down another leak in the tank. I shut it off with 140~ PSI in it and an hour later fired it back up and it had went down to 130. Not sure if that was normal or what not. I pumped up the bags before I left and will look at them today if I make it there.

Thur what a tease. I want my money back, hahaha

No refunds. :beer:

Sorry to disappoint, I wish the shop was clean enough for me to wear my white socks around. :kma:

All the mechanics have been very curious to the entire kit and what the hell I'm doing... obviously it's warranty work.
