im back from the ded bbys

Planning on moving out of NYC next february and buying a car once again. No shit mercedes this time. Thinking about getting a bike too so if i do that im just gonna get a beater late 90's honda for a car and then either a honda cb250 or a kawasaki ninja 250. Something not too fast so i can stay out of trouble but i've been really wanting a bike for a while now. if i dont do the bike im gonna try for another mr2, maybe an sw20 this time instead of an aw11.
Just 2gr swap an mr2 their quick light and will pass emissions. Their is already tons of resources to swap them in a mr2

lol, not trying to go into that much work or financial investment.

"just swap it" has always been the thread motto and im glad to see that hasnt changed

My old man bought a crf250 which is street legal, brand new for around 5k brand new tax&licencing in. I'm sure you could finance one of those pretty cheap and just have a reliable bike and spend more on car


Just a thought

Ahhhh the joys of ownership
I would get destroyed if I leased something. I do way too many km and I'm not kind at all to it. Plus they might look down upon deletes and tunes. lol

Hey guys my golf mk2 is going into storage now to get slowly restored and one of the long term upgrades I want to do is air suspension I do not have the knowledge for that kind of upgrade so I'd have a garage do it,just to know what goes involved in installing air suspension for maximum lows when aired out?

Probably best to hit up vwvortex but I know you need to notch your frame around your cv axles, more than likely need adjustable control arms/links so your geometry doesn't look like potato. You'll need air line, fittings, valves or air management like accuair, tank, compressor(s), air struts, and misc hardware.

You'll run into axle and tie rod clearance problems up font, most people c section the frame to remedy this. You will need to bulls a rear false floor to mount the tank, compressors and manifold to. You will need to run hardline from the manifold to the suspension components that require it etc it's a fairly involved deal.

Thanks for the info! The golf is now a long term project I'll start at the engine to get it to a good state then once I am finished with the engine bay I'll move into the suspension maybe 2 years from now

I was under the impression that people only run hardline for the visable stuff then use plastic hose for the rest. What a pain in the ass haha.

Hardline is better as he will need to run 90% of it externally you know in the elements.

False. Dot line is more that good enough. It's for air brakes soooo...

Those plastic lines are pretty resilient, it's what we use for pretty much all of the air system on our big trucks at work. That being said if I'd rather not find a way to rub through a line and being laying frame in buttf*ck nowhere.
