Socal Whats new with your RIDE?

[Blk EX Coupe]

Car has been down for about a week now. The bearing in my tensioner pulley broke, belts snapped, and took a few other things with it. I haven't had time to check everything out, but I hope I don't need a new motor.

Sounds good Long. Probably beginning of next year. But it's either that or another set of rims now. Damn.........

If you buy a popular wheel it will retain value more than air suspension. (just something to think about...)

Would love to see your ride on air? Got any pics? But my car is still not running. Just been cleaning it up while i wait for parts.

First air setup I ever did back in 09.

Damn. The accuair looks so much cleaner. Gotta look into it now.

Another thing I would recommend is running 3/8" or 1/4" lines. Accuair has 3/8" lines, but 1/4" has even more control. I had 1/2" lines on the LS400 and it was a pain in the ass to adjust. The dropping speed can be adjusted with slow down mufflers, but I would just go with smaller lines. 1/2" is what comes with the standard UAS kit.

For sure Long. I will be contacting u in the near future about it. But yes, I do have to replace some bushings on my suspension before going air also. I've thought about forced induction, but now it's a no no. The heat that I go through everyday here in the summer is about 100 plus everyday. And I daily drive it too.
For air, you've installed them before?

Yeah, I've done a few installations, and it is easy to see why shops charge about $1000 to install. The most time consuming part is designing the trunk setup and getting the most efficient use of space while making it look nice. The most annoying part is trying to find a leak. Just remember that you want to minimize the amount of fittings to minimize the chances of a leak. The one thing I will recommend getting is the Accuair VU4 manifold over traditional valves. It is a lot pricier than most other valves on the market, but the small size makes it a lot easier to work with.

The white SC I drive doesn't have a gte. The SC with the GTE is just one of the many project I spend too much time with.

I'm trying to decide the same thing as you right now. Air suspension or na-t...I'm leaning towards air suspension because with my luck I'll just blow the motor or transmission going na-t. The other reason is that most of the common wear items on my suspension have been changed already, so there will be less to change if things are to go wrong.

If you have any questions about about air suspension or the components feel free to pm me.

I've heard of xs power. They make very affordable parts. I don't have any personal experience with their parts though, so I can't really comment.

I did a leak down & compression test yesterday & my motor was in the 10% range & 210 on all 4 cylinders.

Did oil change and tranny flush today I also Finally washed the cb7 for the first time since about February after I dried the car I noticed the paint and windows have water spots

What do you guys suggest to remove the water spots?
I've heard of using baking soda with water for the windows but not sure how true that might be and for the paint clay bar what you guys think?

CB is still down, gotta get it ready to pass smog and i dont think they'll do it with the ebay header i got on lol, plus i doubt it will pass. besides that painted it black, then went red vinyl, didn't like it so i took it all off cept for the fenders, um... trunk and hood are done in CF, working on the corner and bumper lights in CF too, VC is next.
Anyone in SD is more than welcome to come peep it, but i been trying to stay off the forum until the car is done cus i get too many ideas from here lol.
Also i'll shoot anyone a free DayOld Customs decal if you swing by!
