My install in a vert

[Wicked One]

I am using my phone, so a full in depth write up would kill my thumbs. These are the highlights and my install. Still not 100% complete, but it is close enough for a thread.

I have the track pack system utilizing the v2 control pack. The 5gal tank that came with the kit was replaced with a longer 5gal (32x8). This allowed me to mount the tank on the small deck in the trunk of the vert. I also installed a gauge for the tank in the trunk.

The manifold/valve controller was mounted behind the rear seat on the drivers side right next to the convertible top hydraulic motor. The metal needed to be persuaded about an 1/8" for the harness to plug in.

The compressor was mounted in the trunk on the drivers side. This is the only visible part of the system.

As for the struts/shocks and bags install, cut and dry except for the rear bag install. On the vert, we have a support for the rear seat that sits right on top of the hole that is drilled for the bag mount. It takes some finger dexterity, but is not impossible to tighten the nut.

Here are the pictures you want to see.

Nice, what's left on the install? Your next pictures should be of the car sitting on the ground

I just need to secure the gauge, mount the tank shrader valve and a little housekeeping.

Here it is at full drop.

Thanks Sean. And yeah, wed night I shredded my belt, again. That is why I was having boost issues. I added another idler pulley and ordered more belts, no more green belts, they suck!! Went with a gates 8rib hd in black. Will see what happens, maybe my squeak will go away.

What spoiler are you using?

Thanks, I am gonna take it out tomorrow for a nice pics. I was using my phone, tomorrow I will use the Nikon.

The kit is great, I had to change the line from the compressor to the tank to a longer one. I used a 36", but could have used a 24". Summit had one for $30. I also picked up 7- 90 degree push fittings to keep the air lines from bending too much. It does state that you can make a 1' radius with the 1/4' hose, but I fetl more comfortable with a fitting.

I am still figuring out the system. more air for a taller ride height, but it becomes much harsher, so the shocks and struts need adjustments. So many options.

I am using a roush rear spoiler and side skirts, with a gt500 front end conversion.

Any plans to switch to a 10 rib setup? You go through more belts than a hooker goes through condoms.

 

[Wicked One]

Hell yeah I am going with a 10 rib. Just waiting for Gmitch to finalize the product and get it to market. A stand alone 10 rib would help out a shit load and also look bad ass.

Dude that looks great, nice setup nicely done

The ghost flames look really good on the vert.. congrats on the air ride..

I dig it. Different wheels and it would be much better imo.

 

[Wicked One]

New wheels are next on the list. These are less than 6months old. Still deciding if I should stay with 18's or maybe move up to 20's.

good lookin install, make sure you have a drain line on the bottom of the tank to drain out the moisture, itll build up before you know it

20s would fit your car great.

Been eyeing the hotchkis s-sports in 20's. I really like the true forged victory, but to drop 3k on wheels and then have to get tires and toms, the money tree needs to grow.

Open for suggestions.
