That and maybe that 4th glass of whiskey wasn't a good idea lol. It could have motivated me as well lol

Liquid courage does wonders
Haha that's a good one too! Oh jeez I feel it starting to set in.

[REDCRAPGP]

[Alix0r]

This is true.. just throw some chicken in there and you've got yourself a balanced meal

[REDCRAPGP]

It's not delivery it's digorno

[REDCRAPGP]

It's a 5 min ordeal from when I take 20 secs to dial the Chinese place... Place my order then walk across the street and pick it up. Literally that's all it takes haha

[Alix0r]

[Alix0r]

Well i figured i would start a build post/thread following my Bag set-up also so everything is in one place..so here goes...

Got some things finished today, got the rear mounts installed.. had to do some modifications to them in order for them to work

New MOOG top mounts
(Had to cut the rubber nubs off to lay flat against the bags top plate)


Also had to bore out the center hole to accommodate the bolt for the mount to strut shaft




All mounted up





Air tank finished up, color matched(Galaxy Silver) and clearcoated


Accuair E-Level management system


VU4 valve block


YOR-LOK stainless compression fittings for hardline set up


Dorman 33mm sway bar, Moog bushings


AcDelco LCA's


Some misc parts: Viair 444c air compressor, 3/8" D.O.T nylon lines, poly engine mount, engine/trans spacers



Waiting on the tank and compressor mounts and the water trap, then i can finally start getting the harlines bent and installed.


UPDATE: 4/1/14
So got the last final parts for the install.. besides small misc things i can get a the local hardware store... hopefully i will have time this week to start fabbing up the fittings and hardlines so i can check that off the list



Update: 4/5/14
Polished up my SS hard lines
Initial polish


Final polish


Obviously the pics don't do it justice.. The rod is a nice mirror polish now though

Comparison of before and after:

[Alix0r]

Update: 4/8/14

Got some more work done tonight.. got the compressor, valve block, and ECU all mounted up to the tank.. I'm freaking pissed off though cause I had to move the compressor down towards the end some and the bracket scratched my tank!!




This weekend I will be mocking up copper lines to see how I want to route and bend the SS lines so stay tuned!

Update 4/11/14
Got some soft copper lines mocked up.. obviously this is a poor job as the lines are pretty soft and would bend and twist easily lol but this is about what I'm going for


Still waiting on some more stuff from McMaster-Carr:
SS plugs for the unused ports and tank ports
90° elbow

Update again today lol
Got front manifold SS Hardlines all finished.. I have to polish up the new SS rod so I can start on the tank to manifold and compressor to tank hardlines


Finished up the compressor hardline with water trap in line tonight




Update: 4/16/14

Finally finished up the tank setup.. redid the last hardline tonight

All this time, you were holding out on that sway bar for me? Also, did you buy that poly engine mount from zzp? I want one but I doubt I'm gonna spend 150 before tax n shipping for it lol. Looks good man, n you have some hefty mulaa right there! Can't wait till they're on.
