My Budget Build.

New wheels look great. The fisheye lens with all of those pictures kind of gives me a headache though.

LOL they're not all fisheye pics. But my bad man Haha I get carried away with that thing sometimes. Its a mini fisheye attatchment for a droid. Makes me feel cool like a Iphone user with an ollo clip
Thanks guys for all the love. I got the rears on this weekend and am actually rolling them not just test fitting for pics. Both of my 82mm- 66.5 hub rings from BBS came in today. they 5.99 each for hub rings At least they are CNC from aluminum and have bbs part numbers. no more pics right now just thought ide share the tiny update.

Also did an airlift autopilot v2 install on my brothers Audi b5 a4 we used the airlift slam series from bag riders. He tackled most the easy wrenching on the struts which were direct bolt in. And i tackled wiring up the compressors and getting the electrical + air lines ran and working. Unfortunately we found that he has manifold carrying PN # 3215 and its been making him re calibrate the damn sensors every single morning just to turn the compressors on.

on you v2 what do you have your acc wire connected to? i had major problems with with mine before using a relay, tried emailing airlift, tried getting in touch with airlift on here. which has got me nowhere, have you contacted airlift about a replacement manifold?

Yeah My brother has contacted them about a replacement manifold as it is his car and he purchased the kit. I simply installed it as I have the knowledge LOLZ Jeremy was giving him some run around about sending in the defective unit for re-programming it blah blah blah waiting forever etc. My buddy Min who is on here with a dolphin grey bagged w211 E350 Mercedes purchased the same V2 kit from bagriders. and had the same problem with a manifold being the defective unit baring the 4 digit # 3215. near the part # . He contacted Jeff @ airlift who in turn only charged him $20 on a card to ship a new manifold and controller without him sending his defective one back first. This makes it much easier especially on a daily driven car. Lately the rears on my brothers have been jumping up from the preset ride height to almost max psi, Mins E350 was doing the same thing but only in the rear without touching anything at all on the controller. As for the ACC wire ( pink) I used an add a circuit into the 30 amp fan fuse. I cant remember the number off the top of my head for the b5 audi. But I was also having issues with the comps running without a key in almost every fuse i tried to tap with the supplied hardware was useless. Grabbed an add-a-circuit plugged it in and it seemed to like that much better. As for relays I did have to use two 40 amp relays I followed the wiring diagram for two comps supplied by airlift except for power and ground wires. the car had previously had subs installed so i just added a distribution block to the end of the 4 gauge power wire. hooked both comps to that. with the 30 amp fuse on both the comp's side. and then a 100 amp fuse on the 4 gauge wire at the battery. Double check ALL grounds, at first I didn't have a true ground and this kept it from functioning properly as well. Decided hell used the subs power line why not just connect all grounds to that to be sure, Since then Havent had issues with power to the system or with V2 itself to speak of. other than the manifold software related issues. I searched around the web and found a thread on vortex that is like 25 pages long of people complaining about V2 having a batch of defective manifold and controllers. Almost all the symptoms the people described with their system that had part number 3215. My brother and my buddy have had on their systems as well. The merc got his installed professionally to the tune of $1400 and is having the same issues as us. So i know it has nothing to do with my wiring / installation as it is correct. I double triple checked it like two diff days in a row. I even drove to my brothers work one day because he had called me concerned that his compressors weren't turning on. I just did "sensor cal" again and everything came back to life like nothing was ever wrong.

Well that explains why your old wheels are on craigslist. lol
I was getting worried. haha

Lovin' the new wheels.

I'd say GLWS on the wheels, but I'm sorta tempted to get them for my Sonic. hehe

LOL, Thanks man and yup, Cant wait to get some real legit shots of the new wheels! hopefully I can find someone to do some rolling shots for me, Never had any real rolling shots of the car slammed out at its current height. And if you're seriously considering it. I will cut anyone who does not have 5x112 bolt pattern a deal since they will have to buy adapters.

This build is so inspirational! Love the new wheels.

[tricha02]

the royal grain is the only grip royal that i like, and i think it flows nicely with the car, they are so hard to get though, they are always out online and at shows

Thanks. yeah I wasnt really feeling any the other ones with the rainbow flake and stuff. The retro one was to bland and the wood wasnt dark enough for my taste. I Didnt want a crazy color wheel because i do not own a car that i felt any of them would suit. But tell me about it ! I only waited like 4 months. I ordered in like Nov 2012 it didnt get here till this month( feb 2013. )

I noticed that your car has some kind of control panel under the radio. Mine has a small cubby hole. What is that?

Also, my POS interior is falling apart. Did you have to reglue any headlining?

Slick build overall!

[lowbenz]

I love this the new wheels look badass

My sunroof door is falling and that needs to be redone. I have redone all the pillars in suede as well. So the only part of the interior left to do really is the headliner. which has not fallen. LOL That control panel under the radio is for the in car phone. Its about the size of a home phone and you could have service activated thru Motorola back in 1996. This was before cell phones were widely used and mostly pagers were the thing. The phone attaches to a regular phone jack that is in the center console. I of course have removed the phone because it took up the entire top tray. LOL. I always thought it would make a cool digital switch for airride

Thanks man. I cant wait to get some legit shots. of the new setup Have a few other things planned for 2013 for her.

If you bag this car, Mr. Hatmaker, I will lose all faith in humanity.

Aside from that, you know I fucking love this thing, that rear tuck STATIC is unbelievable.
