Project: (Needs a Name) - Bagged Ion

artsar · 12-14-2008, 12:42 PM

The car goes into the "shop" on monday to try and fix the front struts, but the current project is to do the interior during my christmas break. Here are some pics of the interior as of right now. Any input on a 'mini' inspired interior would be great.

My sig is what I'm aiming for exterior wise...

paint the entire dash, maybe fiberglass some speakers on the dash

artsar · 12-15-2008, 11:27 PM

Well my idea for the interior right now is to re wrap the pillars, and headliner, paint the center 'V' on the dash blue, and get those dome looking things wrapped... I'm thinking blue plad on that, something fun and will have the colours of the car.

As for the struts, one bag is garbage, so I'm on the hunt for used cavi struts (if they'll work) or a good mac strut that will get me some decent drop.

I'm officially going to start on the interior when I get back on monday from christmas with the family.

artsar · 12-16-2008, 11:38 PM

1LOBODY · 12-17-2008, 11:13 AM

lmao. so its a perfect project name then :P

So I have 12 weeks to get the car ready for show season since I lose a month due to a school trip. The mod thats first and formost is to hide all the air parts. The current valve set up are 4 2way valves. My question for the day is can they be mounted on their side, up side down, etc? Not sure if gravity is figured into the function of the valves. I doubt it but worth asking, this is my first set of valves and have only ever been set up one way, so not sure what angels to do effect the function.

so to repeat: Can 2way valves be mounted in any 'direction'? Upside Down, on their Side, etc.

Impulse · 01-26-2009, 12:02 PM

doesn't matter how the valves are mounted.

artsar · 01-26-2009, 07:38 PM

now that thats solved what about compressors, more specifically Viair 380s. I am just trying to stuff everything into my spare tire well if possible.

1LOBODY · 01-30-2009, 08:54 AM

i have 2. good little compressors. i like em

artsar · 01-30-2009, 10:05 AM

maybe i should have made that more clear. Can the Viair 380s be mounted on their sides or even upside down?

Impulse · 01-30-2009, 11:03 AM

I had mine upside down on my sonoma.

Ev0lv3 · 01-30-2009, 11:17 AM

sides are ok, upside-down has proven to put more of a strain on the compressors due to heat buildup. It works, but isn't recommended.
