The JBF G lives on...lol

 

Still looks great. Did it make its way to Atlanta for reals or did they just use the photo?

 

That shot is from Vegas, last year. I parted out a while back and sold the car stock. I didn't want anyone taking credit for my work lol.

 

You're off to a bad start right off the bat bro. U can get 2 Viair 480c and a tank for 500 and sell on for 200. So there's $200 of your price right there. 1/4" valves in an 8 pack, $160. You kids need to learn to shop around a bit!!! That's another $140 off your price. Was $1600, now it's $1260.

When I get to work tomorrow I will link you to where I found my parts so you can see for yourself that u can piece a bag setup for around $1000.

 

Not going to lie but when i see a slammed G, its just tooo sexy

 

That's what I thought. That setup was sick. Would of looked good in the Ferrari blue you were thinking...

 

 

Definitely miss the OG Robzone setup, his car was an early inspiration coz he had brembos. JBF, how did you get them fenders back straight when you sold the car?

All the other misc stuff like tubing can be picked up for as cheap as $0.30 per foot. You can get the PTC connectors off eBay for a dollar or two each.

It's not really that hard to get a quality bag setup for around $1000. It's all about shopping around and not buying a cookie cutter kit. Yes the kit is going to have everything you need but you are also paying extra for the convenience of having everything all at once.

A quality coil setup is going to be significantly more than a bag setup. It's hard for me to drop a bunch of money all at once on a set of coils anyways so it works well for me to be able to buy a little here and there for the bags. And once everything is in, it'll be installed by ME over a couple of days. Once I get to that point, I will be sure to post up a "build" thread for it.

 

a lot of cool stories lately

 

Who said I straightened them? lol

 

^ I sold my car with rolled and mild pulled fenders too. I'm just waiting for a new member to pop up and ask, "Was this anyone's car?"

 

So what you're saying is, if someone knew how to build an airbag system and knew how to then calibrate the system to work for them and knew how to install the system as well, and also knew where to look and had the patience to wait on the sum of the parts, then it is easy to do it for under $1000? Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, in actuality, it is NOT EASY to get a quality bag set up for around $1000 but more along the lines of possible provided you can and are willing to do absolutely everything yourself. Under that logic, couldn't someone get a quality coilover system for far less with the same parameters?

 

^ I don't follow your logic lol. Sounds like you're fishing for a defense. All installing a kit involves is running some wires to the valves, running some tubing for the valves, installing the bags, hooking up the switch box, gauges and compressor. I have no idea what you're talking about calibrating lol

From the sounds of it, you take your car to a shop to have everything installed for you instead of getting your hands dirty and doing it yourself. I

I appreciate my stuff more if I do it myself and for those that buy stuff and take it to a shop to be installed, I still somewhat consider that BOUGHT and not BUILT regardless of if you bought the parts.

Enlighten me on what has to be calibrated? Are you talking about an auto levelling kit? That's the only thing I can think of.

Be a man! Turn a wrench for once in your life! I can't hold your hand through life bro!!!

Again, a quality bag setup can be bought without spending more than a quality set of coils.

Bags are more fitting for me as I can't drop $1500 all at once. I have a house and a car, among other bills, to pay. Dropping a little here and there doesn't hurt the bank! That's right, I said I have to pay for a house, meaning I don't leave in my granny's basement.

 

Just go to west coast customs, seems like every episode I watch they're bagging every car they work on =P.....
More pics in this thread please!!!!!!
