It really wasn't that intense, I just slid down a hill and into a little ditch.

Yea, tax return comes in around February and I am buying it with that. I'm just as excited, never really owned a fast car. I owned a b16 swapped 1990 hatch that never really ran right, and a 218 whp cobalt.

I want to see what setup you go with after the winter gets over with. I love watching cars evolve from stock.

Yeah same here man. I love seeing cars' progressions from the beginning. I had a lot of plans for my G but got cut short when I got in an accident and decided to sell. So now I have to do it even bigger with the Evo. Just have to continually save up funds because modding gets EXPENSIVE! lol.

My buddy has a cobalt which is at about 270-280 whp and its pretty quick. I don't like the look of many cobalts (seen too many riced out) but his is subtle and clean, sounds good too.

I'm sure your gonna love your ride even more after the new turbo! Your gonna have to give me a ride! My oldest sister had a jetta when she was in high school and she used to drive me around and I used to love listening to the turbo spool; I never knew what it was back then (neither did she, haha) but still loved the sound! That was like 8-9 years ago but I still remember riding in that car.

good to finally meet you chris!

Hey. You to jay. It's always nice to meet new people and figuring out the face to the car. You took some awesome shots.

Haha, get me a estimated price for a bag kit to go over my coils and we'll talk about it.

lol nice i added more links to the post yea ill see wat i can do but real talk we can peice a kit cheaper then buying a kit jus saying homie to homie not tryna make money off any 1 jus tryna help people build beautiful cars lol

+1 on sleepys idea!!!

hell yea man, I don't have unlimited funds but I definitely have been
looking at air. Static was fun for a little bit, but it's not really
what I wanted. I'm an air noob so I won't be able to plan it out myself.

Any close idea of what a put togethor kit could cost. 1k, 2k, 3k?

i think you will be looking at almost 2 or around 2 for the basic kit. i "THINK"!!! lol

Let's do this. Tax return is coming in, and my current wheel set up is perfect for air. I want to keep it around 2K. No switchbox though. I want to use something like this https://www.universalairsuspension.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=39&products_id=242.

thats wat imma runn accuair switch speed and vu4 manifold the like 6-7 shipped right there for both

if we get good deals we can prolly have a kit under 2 but good brand reg price mid 2k i would say

I would work up my own price if I knew everything I needed to do it. I don't though. I don't need auto leveling, I just want to use that switch. If you (in your spare time) can work out a list of everything I would need then I can figure out my own price. I see this kit https://www.universalairsuspension.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=32&products_id=239 and I guess thats everything I need, but I don't see copper piping in there.

yea dont worry i got u i can get the same kit picture above but the manual version wif paddle shifters for 1400 then u can sell that get vu4 manifold and the switch speed for accuair be like 6-700 and it be like 2100 total :-)

i dont really like uas valves-they freeze and setup they use 1/2 airline wich rush more air and ur drop faster but its not safe i prefer 3/8 air line

and the copper lines are custom hardlines if u get a flare tool the fittings we can bend and make ar eown hard lines instead running the plastic ones

wen i have time imma make a simple air ride noob thread just the basics of it lol so i can help every one out

Hell yea bro. I can definitely deal with that price.

I've been thinking about copper lines also. I miss hittin switches.

Yea for a while I was anti switches. My plates actually say "NO SWCHS". But I don't care what anyone else says about me cheating low. I want them, and that is a price I am comfortable with.

It's not about cheating. It's about looking good. Only thing I hated about bags was blowing Lu.es and bags and freezing valves and other stuff. I used to have so much problems back then.

Well Ptuning told me there dyno reads 12% less than actual hp. They showed 185, so I'm putting out 207. A little less than I was expecting. I guess I'm ordering some power adders soon.

OK, so snow will be coming soon enough. So I need to put my stock wheels back on. I will be PlastiDipping and painting them. Suggestions on colors? I was thinking purple, I want to see what you all would suggest.

purple? i dunno man lol

Yea, I want something that isn't black. I was thinking purple, or a bright blue.

do it!!!! but DARK purple tho lol
