Re: Non bacon car

Sweet snow plow!

Hehe, looks good, hopefully it'll be well worth it.

thanks, already worth it! found some great deals. Just a few kinks to work out.


Took the car for a little test drive around to block, and I'm experiencing some heavy knocking up front. Brought it back in the garage and did a once over of everything except the top nut on the mount.



Im assuming this little black bushing gets compressed under load that it creates a gap on the upper strut mount creating bouncing/knocking. Ill have to pull the struts out tomorrow and tighten the top nut more to close the gap.

Re: Non bacon car

finally got the struts in over the weekend. Here is one quick photo from last night. Ill pull it out of the garage after work for a photo if its not too dark.

Re: Non bacon car

Which fuse did you connect the compressor to? Did you pull random fuses until the radio went off?

It could be the wrong fuse connected

Did you mix up the yellow and orange and red perhaps? In the accuair system orange is switched and red is power and yellow is compressor signal out from the ECU. It is definitely different than car stereos where yellow is the constant and red is the switched.

My mistake. I had some connections on the relay mixed up . All is functioning now thanks guys.

Re: Non bacon car

It shouldn't have anything to do with either of those. Are you sure you connected the correct wires?

99% sure but I will check again. Wondering if I have a busted relay and the circuit just stays on all the time.

I immediately assumed the same, but when I pulled it from that fuse, it stayed on. When the ignition wire isn't connected to the system, shouldn't it the system have no power?

I doubt it has anything to do with my pressure switch not being plugged in, or my compressors connected? Could it?

Re: Non bacon car

Sounds like your switched wire is fused to the wrong circuit. Try another source that shuts down when the vehicle shuts down, there should be several available but don't ask me which ones specifically

Re: Non bacon car

got some work done today. Picked up one of Drew's rs4 pedal sets and threw them on. Super quick to install, and gave me no issues. Looks nice!




Then began to wire up the management for the air ride. Everything except for the compressors and pressure sensor are hooked up. Everything is working great, although It is not shutting off at all, even with the key out..... It got late so i stopped there, will double check connections and stuff on the weekend.



I know i said i was going to wait on mounting the compressors in the cubby, but i got curious while running wires, and began pulling trim pieces off. Everything was easy to remove, and the cubby unbolts from the car and comes right out making things very easy. Plenty of room to hide things.

Re: Non bacon car

Got a little bit of work done on the weekend.

Im starting with something a little more simple for a trunk setup for now, as want to get this stuff installed over the xmas break. So mounting the compressor and tank in sneaky places will come at a later date. For now i took advantage of the exo mounts i had left over from the mk4, setup to sit in the trunk against the seats. Ordering from bag riders this afternoon for some final things, then will get started on installing the struts.




Took a break from working on the trunk, and began installing bags on a friends car (is Eric on ED?) got the rear done and it looks great!
