Awesome rob I'll definitely let you know. Might be able to get a little bit more creative now.

Re: Tornado is coming home!

Idea:

The hump in the center of the wheel well is just spot/tack welded in place, what if you removed it to free up some space?



And then use a Pancake Compressor tank from one of these?



Then use the space at the rear of the car to mount the compressor?

If you were careful to remove the spot welds, they could easily be re-welded if you wanted to re-install the tire mount.

I thought i heard somewhere that you can do that with the Jetta's/GLI's but the GTI/R32's had all of the EVAP hardware in that section of the trunk? Could be mistaken but i've been around the airride section of vortex for a while and it comes up quite a bit.

I have an actual pancake tank from bag riders if your interested. probably wouldn't need as much modification to work

Thanks to pat and Tracy for the early birthday gift! They got me a lovely gift car to concept1 and I picked up a chrome euroswitch with front and rear fogs. I guess that is a little teaser of what is to come. Already have had some fun in the snow too! Winters will be put on this Thursday.

Re: Tornado is coming home!

Got the winters on wednesday(winter claw extreme grip's), just in time for the big dump were gonna get this weekend (YAY!!) Picked up Votex base bars from the dealership and threw the giant skybox on. Its like having 2 extra trunks. The R is all ready for winter. Also, i am on the hunt for Acuair Elevel with touchpad. Let me know if anyone knows anyone selling. I'm hoping to install the bags over xmas break if all goes well.

Re: Tornado is coming home!

I like it. You ski or board lots?

[Danaldson]

Re: Tornado is coming home!

I try to haha. I hope I can get out lots this year, between modding a car, skiing/boarding and photography, they're three expensive hobbies for a student haha.

Re: Tornado is coming home!

well, management should be here in a week or two, which will mean i have the majority of the parts i need for the install. ordering new sensors from bag riders and maybe a couple other goodies, then i will be set. Ill definitely be investing in a haldex controller for next winter, although the r is already awesome in the snow. have has absolutely no issues whatsoever yet.

Re: Tornado is coming home!
