Where can i get a decent cheap 12V air compressor for auto-X/track days? Bought one for 10$, turned out to be junk (go figure).

As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man. -
I think my friend bought the same air compressor. Took all day to pump 5psi. I think the cheapest way is to get a air tank. Air compressors that work usually cost $$$Renting my rear wheel bearing tool kit. SIR

Get an air tank. 5-8 gallon unit won't set you back much. Find a good gas station air pump and put 125-135 psi in it, and you'll be good to go.

there are good portable compressors.. I had a cheap one that burned out on a hot autox, and somebody let me borrow the one they got from costco for $50. it pumped just fine, and it's a lot more portable than a tank, and you don't have pay for your air everytime you need it. I've been meaning to look for a similar one but it's almost winter so it'll wait.Comment

I got a rechargeable power pack thing from Costco for about 80 bucks. The compressor works faster than the 12 volt Porsche compressor I have. If you manage to run the battery on it down, you can still plug in the 12 volt lighter plug and use it.Comment

agreed. cheapest and most reliable thing to do. You should not be adding more than a few lbs per tire anyway so it will be plenty of air to work with.Originally posted by CharlieComment

but you still have to drive there.. which also completely defeats the point, because once your tires warm up you won't be able to get accurate pressure readings. it's much easier to pull the thing out of the trunk, plug it in, and pump away..Comment
