    No length mods, just waiting for management now, will be using the car as a demonstrator here

    Playing with APR remaps of modern VAG cars in London all of which I'm trying to work out if I can do there, I don't know if there is a market in Sydney for that sort of thing but its an easy way of getting more power or torque for little outlay.

    Also, another day means another delivery, today I got this,,,,,,,,,,,,,Thank you Mr tarox


    sorry about the picture quality, Thank mr apple

    There is already quite a strong market for APR over here with several suppliers & distributors.

    Your car is getting better & better. Can't wait to see it bagged. What management are you using? I've heard good things about Acuair.

    Accuair, full management, self leveling system, distribute those here but really is a small market, I was talking to 1 of the directors before xmas who seemed to think everyone with a vw had one, what he had in fact done was visit edition 38 and saw every other car with one of his system. Edition 38 cars probably account for 95% of all uk cars with air,,lol

    Again its another thing I'd like to do out there but it's not cheap.

    Self leveling eh? Like a Range Rover luxury MK2!

    Are you gonna bring your contacts with you? Could be a potential market down here. I'll happily put forward my car to be used as a demo

    Not much of a prescence down here. There is a small market for customs/mini-trucks but that's about it.

    I think the problem may be to do with legality, not sure but i think you need an engineers cert atfer installation.

    Duby, If you want to get it done, get it done in the UK. There's less BS to put up with. Make sure when you import it, you have the V5 with the new engine number. That way, the engineer can't f' you over when it comes time for rego. From my understanding, you won't need to compliance it as it is a personal import (12+months ownership), but I'm not sure how airbags stand with engineers. Alot won't do it as the ride height can be altered while the vehicle is moving. IF you can get something that disables the settings once moving, that should be fine. But less and less engineers are going to engineer bags as it's a huge heap of BS with the RTA and them!

    Ask me how I know!

    the system I'll be running has 3 basic settings, 4x4 mode, driving mode and park mode, put your key in the ignition and it raised to drive mode, push a button and go to 4x4 mode or stance, then you have mechanics mode which basically means you disconnect the key pad (1 lead) and ever time you put the key in the ignition the car goes to safety 4x4 mode, as well as that you can play with individual corner settings to get the 3 pre-set heights you want and its a self levelling unit which works on the same basis as xenons on modern cars,

    bottom line is once you have the hight you want it monitors itself to maintain it, put weight in the boot, it pumps up, passenger sits down it pumps up, passenger leaves it drops down, no fat chicks stickers will not be needed on the car, it compensates.lol

    A lot of hot rodders are starting to move into Air Ride... Might be worth searching for a supplier from their market.. I'm sure there would be one in Sydney.


    Nice looking car, dude.

    The same air ride would be perfect for your caddy, mines standard as I tend to work on building sites, just think how cool that would be 9" drop, no prob, have to pick something up and load it, simple, just touch the go button.

    This as close as it's getting to air ride



    in fact, I'll have to send you my portfolio to see if there is any work I can help with,,,,,,,lol
