Since Hil can't have down time on his car he is going to have to do the air install in different stages.

1st - He needs to figure out how he wants his trunk setup (cut the wood, mount the tank and compressor).

2nd - do all the electrical wiring for the valves and compressor (soldering the valve harness, running the power line from the engine bay to the trunk, and running the lines from the controller to the trunk). We need to make sure everything works before we actually remove the coils from the car.

3rd - Measure and cut the lines. For the fronts leave the lines inside the cabin and for the rears leave the lines inside the trunk.

4th - connected all the proper fittings to the bags and tank. We'll do an in car leak test to make sure everything is working properly. If there is a leak we don't want Hil to find out while driving back to school.

5th - Finally we'll remove the coil overs and take them apart, mount the bags, and snake the air hose into the fenders. In theory since the leak test was done prior to this we shouldn't have a problem.

The same thing goes for Tom's car. We were rushing to mount the bags on the coilovers last time, but that is actually the last step. If all the other stuff is done in advance then you guys should still be able to drive the car if the install isn't done yet due to missing parts.

I vote meet at the district first. If we all meet at Tastea, the parking arrangement is going be hectic and the cars will be scattered around everywhere as there isn't much parking there to begin with. We should meet at Tastea a little bit later too, like at 9 just to ensure that the majority of the dinner people are gone for more parking and so that all of us can eat first as there isn't any fast food close by.

Parking will be a pain no matter what... at least I think. People are always hanging out at Tastea! But I'm down to meet at The District first that way we roll in with style... HELLA SCRAPIN!

I think Vinh has a fair point. The dinner people usually is an issue in asian towns lol. Case in point is Irvine when its dinner time -__-"

Whatever we choose, it might be nice to park next to one another? What say you guys?

Sounds like Vinh made a plan, so lets go with this.


I'm going to be like everyone else from Westminster and Garden Grove. I'll see you guys at tastea.
