this car isnt that good.....everytime a girl posts a pic of her a car on this site it seems every guy has to put in his 2 cents. seriously guys....come on

06-15-2005, 02:18 PM

Out of all those compliments only 2 people commented on me.

Don't hate.

very few GA's here have air ride. my hydraulic/sct kit thread went to 5 pages. and im a dude.

shogun99 · 06-15-2005, 02:24 PM

they dont have to compliment you....thats not the point
after going through this thread it looks like 80% of the posts are yours....so yeah, i guess only 2 comments about you makes sense

Never said they had to. You said they posted all of these pages because I put up a picture of me with my car. So don't turn this on me.

Since you just now decided to look through the entire thread, and realize that all the posts aren't from other people, maybe you should have done that before you decided to make an un-necessary remark about my car not being "that great".

I said when a girl posts pics of her car....not when a girl posts pics of herself and the car. You just assumed thats what i meant.

and you were wrong.

06-15-2005, 02:50 PM

very true. I did mis-understand that so I'm sorry. But either way, you assumed all pages were compliments when in fact they werent. I mis-read, not assumed, what you had posted. So whatever. Done!

You said whalla. It's viola,

06-15-2005, 09:40 PM

Took a lot of saving

2500 not too bad. and she has lip too damn she is one of the guys

.....

post up the links to the addy's you bought this stuff off. or was it all of suicidedoors.com?

06-17-2005, 07:30 AM

Everything was ordered through Suicide Doors. They got my air struts through Air Lift at less than cost, that's why it was a lot less than I expected:

Rear & Front Struts from Air Lift Company

Air Management Kit from suicidedoors.com Kit #4

A few things were swapped out of that kit:
1.) Take out 4 AIRLIFT GEN 2 BAGS 180 PSI replace with air struts
2.) 4 GC 3/8" VALVES 250 PSI (DUMPS) replace with 4 SMC 1/2"
4 GC 1/2" VALVES 250 PSI (FILLS) replace with 4 SMC 1/2"
3.) TWO 5-GALLON 8-PORT AIR TANK replaced with 1 5gallon 4port and 1 5gallon 8port.

After that, the one thing that cost me a little over $300 was the fittings. And you can get those at your local hardware store

(Menards, Home Depot, etc.) Word around town is that sd.com is going to be putting together fittings for each kit very soon. This will not only save money, but A LOT of fucking time and stress!!!! I think we ran back to Menards/Home Depot about 4-5 times needing some misc. parts. Crazy stuff.

Here is a picture of where I put my gauges. I never did include this at the top:

This is a picture of when everything wasn't hooked up yet, hence why my tank pressure (right gauge) is at 0 psi. But you get the idea

lightningGA · 06-17-2005, 07:33 AM

that looks hott!!! Where did you move the heat and A/C controls to?? Got any pics of them??

crazypontiac03 · 06-17-2005, 07:34 AM

Red X, Dear. Dont you work!

GregFarz78 · 06-17-2005, 07:34 AM

woah thats sweet cant say I've seen a GA with gauges where the HVAC controls are I think thats a first...where did you put the controls?

06-17-2005, 07:38 AM

Having it not done yet (that I know of) was a HUGE reason why I was determined to make that shit work!

I attached the gauges again (for you red X people) and also where i relocated my controls

and yes, all controls still work

crazypontiac03 · 06-17-2005, 07:40 AM

Thats Cool. Like the Gauges where the AC was that looks pimp

UNCTYPE-S · 06-17-2005, 08:08 AM

thats a sweet location for the guages. never thought about that or seen anyone do it before. Nice work.
