Mercedes Benz W201, 190e for cheap

Here in Europe, VWs with US lights and trunks and bumper is not "common" but there is some...

You could have big body roll problems when turning with you bag set up that way (only two valves).

When you turn the outside bags will compress and the inside bags will expand as the air shifts over from side to side.
I have separate valves for each corner (4 total) on my golf and I can see the pressures change +/- 5 PSI when I'm cornering quickly.

I know in military applications they tried to correct this by crossing the airlines corner to corner rather than fronts & backs or lefts & rights. But this might also not work if you need to run different pressures in the front and the back.

I hope that its no problems for you though! Keep up the good work & resto job!

i know all that... we will see if it's so terrible

I need this center console for the air ride, gonna hide the paddle box behind the ashtray, the 2 levers will go through the zebrano panel, vanna do something clean, already begin to work on, pics when happy with the look...

Nice find in the correct colors!

[RENAUD]

nothing crazy but a bit of an effort...

dismantled the interior, carpet, rear seat, trunk panels...







all this to decide where to go with airlines

I realised that i need to change 4 fittings on the paddle box, because of the lack of space :








next is making 3 holes in the transmission tunnel

airlines will go along transmission tunnel and then follow brake lines

that's it for the moment

[RENAUD]

Nice find in the correct colors!

thank's but these have been painted lol

[RENAUD]

Wanted to make go the airlines everywhere this afternoun... but with the rain impossible to work outside... so I made the false floor for the trunk

a nice piece of 80 x 160 cm


moke up the good shape with cardboard... and a lot of pain


right side is symetrical, put the shape on the wood cutted to 76,5 x 176,5 cm :


hop


great!... but it doesn't go into the trunk in one piece lol, had to cut it in 2 pieces

but once installed happy with the result




just to definitely attach the 5cm spacers between trunk floor and woodfloor and done...

Nice work mate.

Are you thinking about adding some wood on the "walls" too or only on the floor?

I am thinking about doing the same on my car too. =)

[RENAUD]

thank's

no no just floor
