airbags - now theres an install ive never heard of...

[pittaway]

air ride mate.....


havent posted on here for a while, to be honest just lost interest in the site a bit, but im back :)


i managed to find afull air ride suspension kit on ebay a while ago for less that what ive payed to a pair of trainers in the past :)!!

so i decided while i was doing some winter tidying issues i had a go at fitting them.


i have never attempted nothin like this before but i work with hydralics and pneumatics at work so cant see the fitting of the equipment be too much work, maybe when it comes to putting the bags onto the shocks ill love for some advice.

anyway..

little update for ya'lll


after some sound deandening ( not finished) floor repairs and a nice fire, im back on progress with the bags!!!!

heres the stage im at at the moment :)


stripped front, lots or re-wiring and new wiring/audio cables ect installed, few repairs, just awaiting sound deadening to arrive :)

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b387/pittaway/threemedium2.jpg

rear seats, nearly fully deadened and inside arches, running airlines and buttons ect, long process!!
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b387/pittaway/twomedium2.jpg
drivers side airline is now in the bay and ready for shock/bag :)

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b387/pittaway/fourmedium2.jpg


just finished my false floor that will hide cables/ amps, and airlines ect ect, will have fans to keep amps cool aswell :)

you can see the dry cell ice battery, air tank with solenoids ect, and the air pump, the battery is sank into the floor and the tank and pump are being bolted down tomorrow :)

thats as far as i am now, but full steam ahead, will have more progress tomorrow 8)



heres a little vid of the bags in action PLEASE NOTE they are moving less than half of what they do, this is because they are running at really low pressure, to aviod the bags splitting as there is no load to slow them down :)
