August 11, 200520 yr You would need a small compressor installed in your car.. If you have a car that came with air suspension, you already have a small compressor and tank inside the drivers side fender:D Still haven't decided what to use mine for yet
August 12, 200520 yr Author hmmm... how do you adjust the ride on it and how much of a difference in height can you achieve?
August 12, 200520 yr Some of the GL-10s came with it as well (mine did).. Not sure about the adjustment specs. Never used it.
August 13, 200520 yr What about adjustable coilovers? I was reading a Hot4's mag and it had an article on adjustable coilovers (also strut replacements) but it said it was more for the track scene as it creates a noiser ride cos of some rubber thingys are replaced with plastic thingys. Cant remember what they are Gannon

Cant remember what they are Gannon If you are referring to a complete coilover/strut conversion, thats not really available outside of custom stuff for all 4 corneres of an L series (afaik) however, one could put adjustable coilover springs on stock type struts and be OK. Has worked fairly well for me thus far.
August 14, 200520 yr Author so how much did those coilovers set you back calebz? What are the modle numbers/names for those (how would I locate a set that would work?)
August 20, 200520 yr Author So talking to this guy who is always coming up to my work and we have some big plans. Planning on using my wrecked wagon as a donor doing a carb to SPFI conversion. Adding a turbo, intercooler, and cold air intake with some of the spare parts he has (really cool customer who loves cars and really loved my 1st wagon and wants to help me get my new one looking amazing). And thats just the beggining. So has anyone ever seen any magazine coverage for these vehicles?? He has a couple show cars and we are really going to shoot for the stars on this one... seems to think that will be able to go somewhere with this.
August 20, 200520 yr If you plan on adding a turbo, you might want to consider a better fuel delivery system. One injector, while doable, is not really optimal delivery for a forced induction motor.
August 20, 200520 yr Author what would you recommend? Have only heard negative things about the MPFI system. anyone turbo a carbed sub? Were the turbo model subs MPFI or what?
August 20, 200520 yr What sort of negative things have you heard about the MPFI system? YOu can turbo a crab car, or an SPFI car, but again, fuel delivery will probabably be an issues. Even the mpfi needs help in the fuel delivery are at high boost.. and it was made to boost. Imagine what it would be like on a system not made to support forced induction. Come over. We'll talk and I'll show you a few things.
August 20, 200520 yr has anyone tried to install an aftermarket sunroof kit on a suby with no sunroof? Was looking online and noticed some kits with rather large openings that would be really fun... like 40" by 70" and such. Here you go. Mines 40x45, sliding canvas. You could probably go maybe 10" longer, but I like having a little roof over my head.

Was talking to will about it and he seems to think that we could add ingectors to it, dont remember exactly how he said to do it but heard of anyone doing this? Am thinking about just waiting and trying to find a Turbo wagon at a reasonable price within a feasable distance from here and offroading the carbed...but if not would be a good learning experience. Will let you know when I have some time off and can come over....got my work schedule for the next tree weeks and with school starting next monday probably wont have any free time but will see.
August 21, 200520 yr Author Here you go. Mines 40x45, sliding canvas. You could probably go maybe 10" longer, but I like having a little roof over my head. thats friggin awesome, so how much did that cost, where did you get it, and did you install it or who did?
August 21, 200520 yr thats friggin awesome, so how much did that cost, where did you get it, and did you install it or who did? I got it online from Steet Beat Customs in Phoenix, it was like $350 for the kit. I installed it myself by measuring very carefully about 100 times, then attacking with a sawzall. If you search for "ragtop wagon" you'll find an old thread about it, although all the associated pics have since been deleted.
August 25, 200520 yr Author my loyale is already lowered in the back....but.....its not supposed to be.pretty low huh? ....the front however... got a $15 keychain digital camera from wal-mart and descided to finaly show how messed up my suspension is. Will be fixing it...............soon?
