got the drivers side front and rear out. the fronts need strut rod bushings. i have to see if i can get my stocks pressed out and pressed into the cans tomorrow. and im running into even more problems with fittings. the fittings that came with the kit are for a 2.5gal 6 port tank. the tank i have is a 4gal 8port tank.

the fronts are out. backs are out and cans are in. i might have a seal problem with one of the rear cans. it can extend if i pull on it but the other 3 dont extend. i hope this isnt a big problem, or a problem at all. i would really hate to have to send it out to get rebuilt.

i also dunno what im gonna do about the strut rod bushings. the stock ones look too wide for the cans. is it okay if the bushing sticks out? if these dont work i might be SOL.

thx din, i have to get a few quick release and some bushing fittings. ekstensive and cutten customs didnt have the sizes i needed (1/8"npt x 1/4"line) but ill try at huffco.

it's not the controller that determines how fast/slow the adjustment is..

size/length/routing of lines/ and most importantly size of ports & fittings will determine speed

type/layout or controller (digital or not) will determine how fun/easy it is to play with

i installed a digital wireless controller for customer of mine... and because it was shaped and laid out very similar to a PS2 controller... it was fun to play with.

why would it be a cause for concern?

the finger is healing up nicely. at least i can say blood and sweat went into this car. no tears yet though.


anyways, i havent found any bushings that would work for the fronts. im having some custom fabbed for me this week. hopefully itll resolve that issue.
