bmccann101 02-04-2014 02:02 PM

e30cabrio 02-04-2014 02:05 PM

Cool!

vex008 02-06-2014 11:59 AM

those fenders are nice.
look forward to seeing how the car turns out.
Interested in knowing if you did any planning or decided on where to mount the e-level sensors. currently trying to figure best locations for mounting sensors on mine but not sure if I am understanding it properly.
on the subject of air suspension...do you know if there is a thread on here?

speaking of which.. i could use YOUR help again on that.. I have a deviantart image thats a dead on side shot that im hoping you can photoshop for me lol..

in return, Ill post some sensor mount pics i found today .. i was looking for that too..


Attachment 435635

ANy questions you have on accuair or air stuff in general, let me know, im well versed in the stuff now.

you need to make sure that with TOTAL suspension travel ( ie no spring, move it by hand ALL the way up and down to physical limits).. you mount the sensor arm where the swing is only 2.5 in from top to bottom.. the pic ill post shows you better than i can type it.

I worked w Zack at UAS to have custom threaded billet bag mounts made to actually thread onto my Stance coilover bodies.

Attachment 435636

eLevel Rocker w Exo mount, UAS bags,, getting ready for my install next..

Attachment 435637

Attachment 435638

test fit and laid out.. will make a floor plate for it and test fit it under the strut bar when i get the car back from the bumper fitting/trimming.

Going to build a partition for the trunk/stb area that hides this set up from the cabin, cuts down on noise, and will hide the wiring breakers and water traps etc

lifekenophobic 02-10-2014 01:39 PM

Aggressive looking new build, sir. Always been a fan of your car and your work. In for the results!

k so heres the weekends work on the Z...

I got my led parts in from Sam at Zleds.com...

had to ditch the external halo tho due to it being a bit too busy.

led switchback side panels and internal 90mm halo.. as well as red led demon eye halo ring.

Attachment 435641

Attachment 435642

switch back for the top corner leds.. when the demon eye red halo is on, the amber will turn red like the halo ..

Attachment 435643

the halo has 2 separate power drivers so they can be on either fullly lit or in half:

Attachment 435644


they.... are.. bright lol. This is no LED stuck in the housing mod.. these are nuts lol.

Attachment 435645


On to the bags.. i got the tank all sealed up and fitted, adde my dual ATS air traps as well as a tank gauge to the back...

Attachment 435646



ACCUAIR.. i love you, really i do.. but please stop including junk in your plumbing kits.. eesh.

Im sure these plastic fittings are "fine".. but they arent going anywhere near MY car lol.

Heres what they send...

Attachment 435647

And heres what I use..

Attachment 435648

NORGREN>>> QUALITY ...but they are extremely expensive tho lol. Anythings better than plastic tho guys.. :(

Attachment 435649

:jawdrop::bowdown: dude you make me so envious! cant wait to see the finished product! love your headlights, only wish i had your skills haha. keep up the good work man.

vex008 02-10-2014 05:48 PM

Just seeing those fittings. Got a link where to buy? Wasnt super confident with what was sent either.

bmccann101 02-11-2014 07:16 AM

i dont have a link for these unfortunately.. i buy them locally at Grunion Fabrication in Phoenix. :(

Really any fully metal fitting should be fine tho.. Try this guy, an ebay seller.. he can get you anything you need if you dont find it on his items, just email him.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/200977952691...ht_2750wt_1083

http://www.ebay.com/usr/rpm_rpt

other option is to hit up www.bagriders.com... they have a good selection of everything really.

vex008 02-11-2014 07:38 AM

lol i just ordered dump mufflers and gauges from bagriders last week. totally by passed they metal fittings. see it now :icon14:. thanks.

bmccann101 02-11-2014 07:43 AM

lol np. Im actually dumping mine straight to outside air using 2 of the bulkhead unions in that picture, bought from the ebay guy. :)
Running them thru the back trunk wall so they vent behind the rear bumper... will be nice and loud from the outside of the car...

the Chrysler has the mufflers on it, and is in the trunk.. under a cover etc etc.. very quiet lol

I wanted the Z to be more aggressive.
