JAK-RBT's build

**JAK-RBT** · 01-19-2011 08:19 PM

Thanks to Andrew at ORT I bit the bullet and ordered bagyards.

Getting started on my trunk and management setup while I wait for the bags to get here from germany. Should hopefully get here around middle of February.

False floor is pretty much done. Still need to mount everything, run/cleanup the wiring, get notched, and run lines when the bags come in.

Its about time this car gets air ride. At h2o you rode lower than most who had air.

**mattnucci** · 01-20-2011 09:42 AM

**fasttt600** · 01-20-2011 12:24 PM

**laramie1pt8t** · 01-20-2011 02:14 PM

About a 1/4 of an inch. It's super light

**95jetta17** · 01-20-2011 07:20 PM

**Tom Newton** · 01-23-2011 05:50 PM

**JAK-RBT** · 01-23-2011 11:31 PM

**bgsapc** · 01-24-2011 01:19 AM

Wow, really? Moving to air huh?

Car and build look great so far. Your car is one of my favorite all time MKVs. Less = more.

**JAK-RBT** · 01-24-2011 05:48 PM

Got some work done this weekend but not much. Raised my tank up 2 inches and mounted my compressor and most of my fittings. Still need to finish a few fittings and also mount my manifolds. Then hopefully I'll start wiring soon.

interested in your choice of compressor. I've read a few reviews and they all seem good

Since I'm going for a setup that I can hide-away I had to use a small 3 gallon tank. That means my compressor will probably kick on pretty often, so I wanted something that would fill quickly. Again, since space is limited I didn't want two compressors, so I went with this beastly AZ OB2. I too have read some good reviews

hacked the living hell out of my ash tray and finally came up with a way to mount the controller that im happy with. (don't mind my hack job, already order a new tray)

Good job, that's gonna look dope

**OffLineR** · 01-25-2011 01:50 AM

Great Job body.
I had that in my mind but it is really difficult with a MKIV ashtray.

paint the controller face flat black. it would look sick

edit: f*ck painting it, do this....

**3-0-4** · 01-25-2011 03:34 AM

How high up did the 3 gallon tank sit in the spare tire well? I want my kit completely hidden as well but dont want to run a false floor. Was curious if that was possible with this tank.

that looks really good but I definitely would not be able to pull that off. I also wanna be able to completely hide the controller.

It's possible to not raise the floor but things get too tight if you don't. I've seen 2 people do it without raising the floor i think. I only raised it an inch and a half though so i could have more room for fittings and to give my compressor fan more room to breath.

**JAK-RBT** · 01-26-2011 08:04 PM

Trunk is almost done. Just finished mounting the ecu and manifolds. Hooked up all the connections and ran the fill lines to the manifolds.

All that's left to get me on the ground is wiring, notch, bags, and running the lines to the bags.

thanks man

with how big it is I'm pretty sure it'll be loud but I'll just have to wait and see i guess

**JAK-RBT** · 01-27-2011 11:08 PM

not much of an update but I routed the cable that connects my ecu and controller. Had to remove my entire center console to run the wire up to the ash tray but now it's completely hidden.

Should have the tray finished this weekend if my new lid comes in tomorrow. Then if my wires come too I can get to work on those. Might remove my front sway bar this weekend to get that out of the way.
