New pics of my air ride (56k.. grab a snack)

[wh1t3y]

well i finally got around to taking a few more pictures of my air ride... hope you like:

^ pic of the driverside rear air strut

^ pic of my air management system

i still need to get some fittings so that i can put the front valves closer to the bags...

and i still need to get side-to-side shots..

but other than that.. there she is folks...

the crappy driveway that you see it sitting in is my driveway.. somewhat steep.. hard to get a lowrider in it, which is another reason i got bags...

does air ride make handling better or worse?

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

Rofl.. when coming up to a stop, hit the brakes, but than let the front end down, and just watch peoples faces

 

[LowNotSlow]

bags on steelies?

 

[mr_ducksauce]

thats pretty neat stuff, makes u laugh when u look at it...its like WTFFFFF

 

[wh1t3y]

hahaha exactly.. yeah magic8ball... i do that all the time.. hillarious stuff. and yeah blackhope.. it handles beautifully!

 

[hkt03]

eh, airbags are the gayness

i have never been a fan of bags on hondas but hey your car your money..

Nice. So did you have to cut into the trunk and move things around in the engine bay? A buddy of mine has a Tacoma on air and he had to do some heavy modification to make the truck lay on the frame. It looks sweet though. You def need some rims on that and the trunk needs to be cleaned up a bit.

Otherwise, nice setup.

ok resizing>u...
i like airbag susp. on any car it doesn;lt really matter to me...i wouldnl;t personally do it because its overpriced imo and i would rather do it to a classic...but i have ridden in one..i can say that it def. handles a hell of a lot better than hydralics..:thumbsup

Bags aren't as hot on steelies...

you mean me?! hahaha

does air ride make handling better or worse?

most of the time, when done right, will handle much better due to the lower center of gravity.. with an 8 valve setup or F.B.S.S. capabiity, any car/truck will drive great.. but its on air so sometimes the ride could get bumpy...

eh, airbags are the gayness

you're just jelaous you cant afford it...

spend the money on getting air suspension done any car, then talk about money left over for rims too..

for getting your car bagged man!

haha thanks tacoma, sweet slammer!.. good to see im not alone. here in southeast missouri, we have a couple of bagged mini-trucks(most dont lay frame however - nice!!), some of them are pretty nice and others have seen better days.. not too many cars with air though. me and my coworker woody (has a 89 civic hb with a buddyclub bk all the way around - and the car is poop brown, no kidding) are the only people with civics with air ride, but his is canned not bagged (shitty ride imo).

What kind of setup are you running tacoma?

but 96greencivic to answer your question: i had to drill holes in all of the fender wells into the engine bay.. other than that the lines are run down the sides of the car for the fronts under all the trim.. but no i didnt have to move anything around. Here soon im going to run the lines under the car and take the valves and put the closer to the front so the front doesnt slouch so much on bumps when there is very little pressure in the bag.

It does look crazy on steelies.. kinda funny in my book.. people are usually like "what the hell?"
The next thing im buying is wheels.. not sure what though.. def. black...

 

[VTEC]

that air bag set up in the trunk looks ghetto rigged like a mofo. lol

 

[wh1t3y]

oh i know.. and it is. temporary until i get my box built... my talents lie more in audio... im going to build a box to hold 2 12"s firing into the passenger compartment with my air suspension connected, with the rear seats being able to flip down and all, im planning on doing a fiberglass front baffle and mdf for the rest.

 

[civicjuana]

yea man def replace those steelies. ride looks chill tho man

no doubt bro... i have 8 GC 1/2" Valves.. but went to only using 4 because i daily drive the truck.. ya know with air if you dont use enough teflon tape you get small leaks.. watching 4 pressures driving daily got on my nerves, so now i only have front and back.. i may revert back to 8 valves.. but we'll see.. i wanna get the truck off the road so i can do more work to it and save the miles...
