my questions thread. opinions/help needed

I used the yellow one for gas but will try the pink one next time

i ended up fixing the problem i got some pink heavy duty Teflon tape did a few wraps with that and everything is good now it doesn't leak at all. thanks again andrew for the help

[andrew@openroad]

What color teflon tape are you using? Take off the teflon and do one wrap, not two. Also, are the fittings brass or nickel plated brass? [gold color vs. sliver color]

Cool man, just let me know how I can be of service. I'm looking forward to becoming more familiar with everyone and their cars over here on stanceworks. It's a much more eclectic group over here!

I have added an air ride FAQ/Q&A thread under the Sponsors >> Open Road Tuning Section. Just thought I'd let you guys know that I'll be answering all questions in that thread.

[andrew@openroad]

glad I could help out.

I'll assemble some sort of post and throw it up on the main page and get it made into a sticky.

great help.. i can't explain how much that helped

[andrew@openroad]

iggy i know the owner of fab lab jay hes from seattle so if you want to go that route i can get you set up all I have to do is make a phone call to mark and he can go to his house and pick one up...lol.

Iggy, OpenRoad Tuning is the exclusive distributor of the Fab-Lab Pressuryte. Jay and I have been doing business for a while here and have some new products in the works as well.

never want to use tape you always want to use liquid thread sealer. If you need airlines hit me up I can get you stainless lines/leader hoses/ any lenght of dot air lines retardedly cheap

Sorry, but that's not really true. We use tape in almost all applications except for leader lines on our bags. Though, you want to make sure the tape is wrapped properly and secure so that it doesn't get into the valves and ruin the diaphragm. it's really a matter of preference at the end of the day. BagYard uses liquid/thread sealant and we use tape.

Andrew can you touch on the best process for air tight fittings. Meaning the tape and or liquid used.

Thanks

Also can you send me a PM for air line. I need new stuff to run both front and rear. Do you have the stainless braided? Or is that just leader lines??

PS you should start a Q&A thread and have your long post thats on the front page.

definitely going this route, i love having the switchbox and i mess with the height alot! Especially since i have a small leak in the rear bags, i need to get it fixed before the show season but this would help air it up if there is a small leak! Ill give you a call once Im ready to order Andrew!

Iggy, you have full functionality of your switchbox even when the system is turned on. For example... rolling down the high way and there's an object in the road, what do you do? Hit the switches and air up. The pressuryte will actually bring your car back down to your preset pressure. The best thing about the pressuryte is the ability to still have full use of the switch box. There is only one other system out there which comes close to giving you the functionality of a switch box and that is the accuair e-level. Most other ride height systems have tiny buttons which are hard to push when you're driving or when you want to have that extra bit of height to clear an object.
