    This happened yesterday :devil:

    Air Lift Performance 3P management system
    4 gallon tank
    single Viair 444c compressor



    I am gonna try to set up the management system today and have it ready for when I get the bags in about a month.

      Finally got the management system all buttoned up and ready for when I get the bags. And also put a layer of foam under the board to help a little bit with the vibration noise from the air compressor.

        your tach is off because on the new face all the numbers are closer together.... you should probably just put the old one back on to fix it.

              I have been keeping track of the air tank psi and its losing 2 psi every 24 hours. Since the air leak is so small its hard to see with soapy wate. Im just gonna leave it like that since 2psi in over 24 hours is nothing.

                  The wind noise I was getting from the misaligned sunroof finally got to me, so I finally got the motivation to do it haha. Aligning the sunroof on the e30 is easy but annoying as hell when you are trying to do it by yourself, but it was well worth it in the end.

                    Got a pair of 51mm strut housings to get the bags welded to and lessen the down time. I have not had the time to cut them yet, but I already removed the strut inserts.

                          Before taking my last final of the semester I made some time to cut the strut housings and get them welded, one step closer to getting this dang bags on. But that was not the only exciting thing of the day, after finishing my last final I went to the mall with my gf and found this nice backpack that I just had to have.

                          Got them welded and put some cheap paint on them

                              I have no idea, I know nothing about welding. I cut them myself and took them to a local welder.
