calebz Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 You would need a small compressor installed in your car.. If you have a car that came with air suspension, you already have a small compressor and tank inside the drivers side fender:D Still haven't decided what to use mine for yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSight Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 what models came with air suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlindSight Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 hmmm... how do you adjust the ride on it and how much of a difference in height can you achieve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Some of the GL-10s came with it as well (mine did).. Not sure about the adjustment specs. Never used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausubaru92 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 What about adjustable coilovers? I was reading a Hot4's mag and it had an article on adjustable coilovers (also strut replacements) but it said it was more for the track scene as it creates a noiser ride cos of some rubber thingys are replaced with plastic thingys. Cant remember what they are Gannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant remember what they are Gannon If you are referring to a complete coilover/strut conversion, thats not really available outside of custom stuff for all 4 corneres of an L series (afaik) however, one could put adjustable coilover springs on stock type struts and be OK. Has worked fairly well for me thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSight Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 so how much did those coilovers set you back calebz? What are the modle numbers/names for those (how would I locate a set that would work?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSight Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 So talking to this guy who is always coming up to my work and we have some big plans. Planning on using my wrecked wagon as a donor doing a carb to SPFI conversion. Adding a turbo, intercooler, and cold air intake with some of the spare parts he has (really cool customer who loves cars and really loved my 1st wagon and wants to help me get my new one looking amazing). And thats just the beggining. So has anyone ever seen any magazine coverage for these vehicles?? He has a couple show cars and we are really going to shoot for the stars on this one... seems to think that will be able to go somewhere with this.

calebz Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 If you plan on adding a turbo, you might want to consider a better fuel delivery system. One injector, while doable, is not really optimal delivery for a forced induction motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindSight Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 what would you recommend? Have only heard negative things about the MPFI system. anyone turbo a carbed sub? Were the turbo model subs MPFI or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 What sort of negative things have you heard about the MPFI system? YOu can turbo a crab car, or an SPFI car, but again, fuel delivery will probabably be an issues. Even the mpfi needs help in the fuel delivery are at high boost.. and it was made to boost. Imagine what it would be like on a system not made to support forced induction. Come over. We'll talk and I'll show you a few things.

singletrack Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 has anyone tried to install an aftermarket sunroof kit on a suby with no sunroof? Was looking online and noticed some kits with rather large openings that would be really fun... like 40" by 70" and such. Here you go. Mines 40x45, sliding canvas. You could probably go maybe 10" longer, but I like having a little roof over my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was talking to will about it and he seems to think that we could add ingectors to it, dont remember exactly how he said to do it but heard of anyone doing this? Am thinking about just waiting and trying to find a Turbo wagon at a reasonable price within a feasable distance from here and offroading the carbed...but if not would be a good learning experience. Will let you know when I have some time off and can come over....got my work schedule for the next tree weeks and with school starting next monday probably wont have any free time but will see.

I got it online from Steet Beat Customs in Phoenix, it was like $350 for the kit. I installed it myself by measuring very carefully about 100 times, then attacking with a sawzall. If you search for "ragtop wagon" you'll find an old thread about it, although all the associated pics have since been deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
