Default Finally..Done with AirRunner. NEXT,,,((Updated pics)) 56k ok



Finally my IS is ready and the Airrunner is fully installed. The system is FUN

I also changed the light under the side mirriors and installed a rear spoiler (DIY) . I also did take the front bumber by myself, and that was my first DIY that I did in my life. I had to take the fogs and the headlights off, I got to admit, it was sooooooooo hard and I had no clue what to do and It took me 5hours to get the lights off and get the bumber back again. But the good news is that I did not break anything and I also can redo it alot faster now

NEXT... Now Iam painting the INGS kit + Roof spoiler + front grill, the are done by SUPERSHYGUY(THANKS) . Iam also Painting the headlights and adding the AAC halo eyes .Also , Iam Installing a COPS Strob light . Finally, Iam changing the bulbs for my headlights and Install a HID for the fogs 8000k.

It will take around 10 days to get everything installed, I will take pics when everything is done

Ok, here is some pics. As I said earlier,the car look dirty and the job is not completly done and we are still working on the bodykit and other stuff. This is how the car look now. more pics down

If you have pressure in the bag, lets say you wanna take off a rim to clean it/paint calipers/whatever reason to jack up the car, there will be pressure in the bag, if you look at the strut there is no real 'bottom' like coils, you will extend the bag due to the weight of the car not being on the bag and thus possibly damaging the bag. The airbag is designed to be pressurized with the weight of the car ontop of it. *hope i explained that well... if not you can always ask about it in the VIP section as the LS/GS guys there are more knowledgeable about air than the 2IS board guys who knows that might not even be the right reason, all i know is less than 20psi when lifting the car*

Has to do with simple geometry, if you drop the front first to full slam the angle of the car/weight of the front end can hit/dislodge the front lip, if you drop the back first due to the weight of the engine on the front you wont ever encounter this horrible accident, this has been learned here in hawaii the hard way by many.

Oh, that,... Well, the guy how installed it for me made a plug( accourding to him,thats what the WestCost do) . He told me to just displug it when ever I want to jack the car up. What it does basicly is shutting down the system,so the system wont know if there is a presure or not. Iam not sure if this feature come with the regualr kit or with the Mangament kit.

How about droping them at the same time? would anything happen? By the digital control unit and remote I could slam the whole car at once, usually the back go a little faster than the front . The same thing happen when it raise it up
