    So your Sig, not so much anymore, eh?

    What else are we expecting as "big things"? Air ride isn't exactly that big anymore, but I do hope you make a nice setup for it.

    Hopefully everything comes together . Your car is my favorite locally as well. No one's car is nearly as clean!

    Thank you!

    I finally got it working!
    -Last Wednesday polished the tank
    -Saturday night I semi built the trunk set up
    - Sunday after the install I come to find out I likely recieved had a bad ECU.
    -Last Night. A few days of waiting and frustration later a new ECU showed up, THANKS A TON to some killer guys and great customer service! Sure enough I plug it in and everything works perfectly.
    -This Sunday re polishing tank, finishing trunk, and removing spacers.


    It sucks to think I have been putting air off for the last 3 1/2 years. This is awesome and I can't wipe the smile off my face.

    I owe a huge shout out to "01" Jason Johnson he is a great guy, and with out him I would of probably blown my car up or something during install. He's there 24/7 and I wouldn't recommend dealing with anyone else! Even with an injured back he did more then most to help me out. Thanks again for all your help!

    I also owe Tage Walsh, and Tyler a big THANK YOU for helping me with the actual air install/supplying of a hoist! With out their help I would of been on my own with a floor jack!

    Right now I'm being held up by the tires and spacers but ****s low and I'm ecstatic.

    Very nice. Cant wait to do air on my 20th.

    what management is that? My brother and I just put air on his MKV using Airlift V2, which I have to say is pretty awesome, and a lot easier to work with than E-Level.
