That’s where I’m at, when they get forward facing or booster seat I will totally be taking the vr4 way more. Right now, yeah she sits for a couple weeks at a time, but it’s okay...I enjoy her that much more when I get to take her out.

That kid shifts the vr4 every day he is in it. He loves it. And now he has 1-2-3 gears totally down. He pretty much knows what gear I want and when I want him to shift before I even tell him.

If you keep this up, you're going to have to build him a right hand drive VR4 so he can shift left handed

With you dragging your feet and buying all these expensive parts I might beat you to getting a GTR then.

If you'd stop buying all those old Mitsus and you could have one already

You are actually right. What i have into them is minimal, but now that they are all fixed I could probably clean up pretty good.

Come to think of it Coop's suspension costs more than what i paid for the 95 Monti SR, 89' Monti SWB, 90 Max, 91 Ram 50, and my Dad's 92 Ram 50...Combined.

I love having lots of vehicles. I honestly don’t have a place to store them all. Does your house look like a car lot? Do you insure them all? How many tires are flat at any given time before you wanna drive them? Do you own an oil change place?

I absolutely despise the American GTO market LOL. I just can't wrap my head around people importing a car to a country that already has a plethora of these things... configured in a way that is safe to drive. But, Otto already wants one in blue. Which is great.... I have one of those

I don’t think it looks like a car lot. My driveway holds 4 but I’ve only got 3 currently but the SR is getting recycled soon so 2. The blue ram is parked on my side yard and my work truck is in the street out front. I’ve seen worse.

I want one in blue, too - but am running low on garage space. Probably would've tried to buy that one in Ohio the other day otherwise.

the ones ive seen on import sites look a fuckload cleaner than the shit ive seen for sale

Just about every single one that is sent over here has been recently painted. They all seem to be "low mileage" but have new paint jobs. That whole market is such a scam.

Money is set aside. Just need to actually order it.

I’ve talked to some evo and Sti owners about my worry about it being worse than stock. Explained I’m not expecting coil overs but don’t want to downgrade. These were also people selling their kits that knew I wasn’t gonna be buying theirs. So I feel their answers were true. One talked so highly of them he should be a rep. The other seemed more level headed and said it’s deff an upgrade.

Now to explain how I’m going to overcomplicate it.

I have a 4500psi fire fighting bottle that I can fill up at work whenever. I have a special regulator for this. This bottle is 88 cubic feet of air. I am going to go from this bottle to the actual tank the kit comes with. I will also have a compressor hooked to it as well. Somewhere in that mess I will need an air chuck and a dryer.

I feel this is the best way to hope the compressor really never has to kick on. Especially if I’m not airing up and down all the time. To give an idea. That 88 cubic feet of air is the same as a 80 gallon tank at 100psi. It’s a hell of a lot of air in a little area.

Why would you not want the compressor to kick on? Isn't that what it is for?

That 4500 psi bottle doesn't sound light. I know the scuba tanks I use are heavy as hell, though maybe yours is composite of some sort?

Are you really going to be raising/lowering the suspension a lot? Seems like overkill.

So I want the compressor to kick on when it’s needed. But with a 3/s not having a separate trunk that compressor is gonna be loud and annoying.

The bottle is carbon fiber hazmat 60 min. Your scuba bottle is heavy because it’s lighter underwater, we have to carry this around working for an hour. So it’s light, and honestly not big.

No I’m not gonna be raising it up and down much but I’m pretty sure if it’s let all the way down just raising it back up is almost a whole tank and the compressor kicks on. Hoping to avoid that unless it needs to.

my friends fit kicks on for a minute when he starts his car. Its set to drop when he turns the car off. When he turns the car on it raises and then replaces the little bit of air he used raising it.

Why does this seem like a ton of piping, and modifications to your car? Will it end up looking like Frankenstein?

Just for a slighly better ride?

Shit this car has been through so many coop mods and hanging in there and yes for a correct ride and height.

Lol not gonna lie that took me a while. No way a gtr would work with the wife! Plus I’m not even sure it would make it down the driveway.

Time to move to a house with a reasonable driveway. Seems like that driveway alone is 95% of your frustration.
