  1. A problem when he moves? How so? No realtor is going to be like, "OH YEAH, THE ASSHOLE NEIGHBORS BUILT THEIR FENCE ON 6" OF THIS LAND, SO YOU'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT IF YOU BUY THIS HOUSE." I don't think the typical buyer would even know better, nor would they REALLY care. It's a fence. Maybe that's just me *shrug*

    Care to explain a little further?

    What's wrong with Huntington?
  4. This. Is it REALLY that big of a deal? If they didn't half-ass their sections and made sure it doesn't look like it's held together with zip-ties, why worry about it? I don't know about you, but I have plenty of better things to worry about than 6 fucking inches of grass.
  5. I've made a couple videos before... don't think I'll be sharing them, though.
  6. lol trust us... it's going to be loud.
  7. You shouldn't have to do four lines from the tank to the switches.. I would run a single 3/8 from the tank to a manifold which then splits it up into four lines into the paddles... THEN you should have four lines going to each corner. Edit* It's also a good idea to include a Schrader valve on the tank in case something keeps the pumps from running and you need to fill up in an emergency. Also, a quick connect for power tools or an air hose to fill up your tires with air is really really handy, too. Absolutely make sure you use water traps unless you want to drive around with a ticking time-bomb in the trunk
  8. Also not an active carry, but I'd like to get a holster and start doing so. I'll keep an eye on the thread for sure... thanks!
  9. Might be interested in a holster if you'll separate
  10. Sorry, don't visit CR all that often so wasn't able to get back to you right away. In my experience with manual valves, which I had on my white GTI before I sold it, it genuinely made me hate the car for multiple reasons. I also built mine on an incredibly budget minded setup and regretted it from the beginning. Here's what I learned: 1. Manual valves are the cheapest because they're literally the worst. They work, but they're terrible for just about everything. You have to run separate air lines from the tank to the valves, to the gauges, and to each of the bags. This means a TON of air lines throughout the car, and the more connection points you have, the better chance for leaks. Placing the valves somewhere with all the lines hanging off the back can be a HUGE PITA as well. 2. Run twin compressors before a single with larger tank. A 3gal tank will be good for a single down and up, and the twin compressors will fill it up really quick and reduce run time by a ton. A single will run forever trying to fill a 5 gal, and generally too long before it overheats and causes failed check valves, or burns up the compression ring. Not to mention, if the single compressor fails, you're beached. 3. Don't even bother with PTC fittings, and if you do, triple check with soap and water each fitting isn't leaking when they're in place. They leak incredibly easy with any bend or a bad cut in the air line. Compression fittings are the best option, IMO. 4. Even if it's the cheapest electronic management, it'll save you a million headaches over manual valves. They install 30x easier with very few wires. No extra air lines other than the ones going to bags which minimizes chance for ruptured lines or leaks. Most have PSI presets so you don't have to fuck with the manual paddles for 15 minutes before you drive to get the ride height right. Also, I would much much much rather replace a bad or stuck valve than chase down 40-50ft of air lines looking for where a damn leak is coming from. The chance of them failing isn't really all that often and if you prep the system with anti-freeze in the winter, you'll never have freezing. Freezing will happen with any system without proper winter prep. TL;DR - Do it right the first time, otherwise you'll hate life.
  11. Of all people to say something like this... lol.
  12. I'll pay $200 and you have to put a LemonParty.org sticker on the bumper
  13. So you're saying $100 and I get to put a vinyl of my "business" on the Fig? HEH, that's tempting
  14. I've never heard of ride-tech... so that's probably part of the problem lol.
  15. Did you get the weaker one? I saw two versions, one is like 150ftlbs and the other is 330ftlbs. I love mine and I haven't had anything it won't break loose, yet. Hard to beat for the money, regardless!
  16. http://www.harborfreight.com/18-volt-12-in-cordless-variable-speed-impact-wrench-60380.html Don't waste your money on any others.
  17. You're going to hate the manual valves.
  18. The buster took everyones' advice on CR
  19. My thoughts, exactly. This would be a 4-6k car normally, that was simply parked and is being sold after sitting. You guys act like it's got a laundry list of issues and no idea if it runs. Offer $2,200 and run... that's an absolute steal.
  20. Probably fuel level sensor in the tank? I dunno, just a hunch.
  21. They have awesome glass that's generally better than some of Canon's, however, their AF system downright sucks balls. Not to mention resale on their items is awful. I learned the hard way a couple times... I just avoid Sigma all together, now.
  22. Aerodynamics... Rear bumper basically worked like a parachute. May not have happened if the car were, at the very least, lowered.
