where can i get more info on a airbag setup? can u do the same thing as a hydro setup the 3 wheel an all that ?

airbag setup info: http://www.airride.com . they have a bagged and body dropped UPS truck on there:

no that is not a rendering anything, its an actual vehicle. wish that would come deliver my parts for me...hehe

anyways, you can do 3 wheel motion on a air ride car, but its only gonna do 3 wheel motion with the rear wheels since our cars are FWD. oh yeah, get the fast valves setup...hehe. hope this helps.

i was over at superhonda everybody said the ride was terrible an forget about going fast the whole setup is for show only. a slight bump will kill your back an soon on.is this true

no thats not true. air ride is ALOT better ride then coilovers and lower springs and by far better ride the hydraulics, not to mention less messy and safer then hydraulics (hydros have a tendency to catch fire if worked too hard and can leak oil like mutha too). and as far as hitting bumps...see a bump, raise your ride up...that simple. they dont know what they are talking about over there at superhonda.com because they seem to car only for speed from what you just said. also you can go fast air ride. i know a guy that has them on his 98 ITR and he shows and races his car. i told him he was stupid fr doing that to an ITR in the first damn place (adding air ride that is) but hey its his money and his car and he wins alot of shows with it so i cant say too much....lol.

Replace the rent tint with BLACK dark ass limo tint and paint the body kit red and I would say its a pretty damn nice car. Would like to see some sorta "hump" fabbed up for the hood as well... but overall its sweet as hell :smoka:

i dont like the "bags" coming up out of the hood. other than that it is nice

hey, i think it would look nicer if the bags werent stickin out, can he put them somewhere else? cause i want air bags also for my car, but if they are going to look like that, hell no! i'd do it another way!!

Also, if you look in the back of the car, he has a retractable antenna thing, thats the first ive seen on a 4G, what do you guys think about that conversion? i am debating on doing something like that, or a Fuba......

i shaved my antenna and my squirters and ALL emblems on my car. next to get shaved is the molding:) shaved is better if u ask me. more smoother :D

shaving stuff makes the car look so much cleaner......but thats a nutty 4G.....it would have been sooo much easier if they just went with air rods....but they wanted to be original....a cowl hood will cover all that....then off to the photo shoot for Mini Truckin Mag I bet....its a cool lookin car....I dont know if I want to get another truck or put air cylinders in my car...Ill never get the money out of my car if I put air cylinders in it....but a truck I will.

..you're not gonna be able to use 'bags' on your civic unless you have a totally custom setup like the red civic...b/c of the suspension setup on honda's (except for the 01-up), you need to use 'cylinders'...same idea and same system, just a different medium...there are a few companies out there that sell complete kits...take a look on the web...I'd personally suggest researchin it and puttin together a custom system...

I hope this wasent directed at me....if it was I already know all this.....Hondas are one of the few vehicles that require air rods in all 4 corners....most other vehicles can use strut bags.....This car in the picture has been treated to a cantaleiver bag set-up thats why they chose not to run air rods.

..it was directed at whomever was talkin about putting 'bags' in their honda...fatman, myfirst4g, etc...

why would n e one go through the trouble of putting bags on one when all u have to do with cylinders is more or less take out the factory struts and put the air cylinders in thier place. took like 3 hours to completely install my whole setup.

being original is what makes a show winner.....when people fist think stuff up people think it sucks....but it catches on and makes it huge.

i dont see that catching on and being huge. shit he probally has enough in the air ride and custom suspension that he could have a killer ass motor swap and air ride with cylinders and win shows that way

but being original is what people will like....it might not catch on aswell....especially for daly driving because it just isnt practical....but it might for just show winners.....you never know.:)

i actually did see that hatchback at Freak Show last year (car show in Tarboro, NC). hes still running the stock 1.5L SOHC DX motor but i THINK hes got a roll cage in but i am not 100% certain. and oh yeah, that thing is low as shit!
