K.. so much has happened since we last talked here peeps lol..
teh car is now sponsored by Accuair Suspension.. so thank you again to Derek Schafer over there.. really apprecaite the support.
My dual compressor e level system as well as the Exo mounts like this arrived today..
Ive also been working w Zack Ratcliff at UAS for special threaded billet bag mounts for Stance Coilovers.. and those Im told were delivered today as well.
On to other news and other rad hookk ups.. my previous sponsor VIS Racing has allowed me to break up a Superleggera kit as a one time basis for this build..
authentic and dry carbon mine will not be ^^ but still a damn good fit using FRP{.
So thanks Joe and Fred.. you guys fking rock for for the continued support and exceptions.
I now have fender options up front.. and will be fitting up replica superleggera sides and front fenders to this build, STILL with a bolt on universal style fiberglass flare up front...

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

thank you. 
^^
btw the Chrysler trunk is fully done.. hers some final pics :
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.
switch back for the top corner leds.. when the demon eye red halo is on, the amber will turn red like the halo ..
the halo has 2 separate power drivers so they can be on either fullly lit or in half:
they.... are.. bright lol. This is no LED stuck in the housing mod.. these are nuts lol.
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...
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...
And heres what I use..
NORGREN>>> QUALITY ...but they are extremely expensive tho lol. Anythings better than plastic tho guys..
rear bags mounted on brackets and fitted up w Norgren fittings
better shot of the front bags.. threaded side, faces down and again fitted w Norgren..
thats it so far.. more pics soon.

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.

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.
