diy air ride
I live in Southend On Sea in the UK the roads are crap and there are speed humps everywhere including down my road shortly and I'm fed up with having to plan my route around town based on speed humps I can't get over
but I'm partial to a project and some would also say tight. actually I'm not tight I just do a really crap job for a living (literally) so demand value for money when I part with it
This is not going to be a shiny setup for show hopefully it will all be hidden and OEM looking and much of it will be, just not Nissan mostly Audi with range rover height sensors, aftermarket Bags and a custom built controller
cost wise it should be coming in at £600-£700
The compressor with built in exhaust valve is audi
as is the valve block
aftermarket front and rear air bags
the rear air bag spacers are made from 2 old fire extinguishers and some 1/4" ally plate
this is the compressor and tank as they will be fitted in the trunk
should look pretty discrete
this is pretty much as far as I've got so far hope to have it all done over this weekend

Word dat. Yup, that's why I was pretty intrigued with the stuff Andy's using on this DIY air kit. I mean, old fire extinguisher bottles?? That's just plain ol' hot rodding! No ghettorigging here. Laff....
