Side profile. Front can go down a little more but I didn’t risk it.

Rear at it’s lowest setting.

Not set the preset settings yet so I was using the up and down on both right hand side buttons. 1, 2 and 3 will allow for all the way down setting for parking. 2 will be drivable setting and 3 will be for all the way up (can go a little higher than stock!).

All installed. Audio installation guy has been contacted, he will commence work on hiding all this gear this week.

Here’s a little video.

OK got to say I’m as excited as Christina is now! Just got back from TOP ONE and damn the system is AMAZING. It’s killer fast due to the fatter airlines we optioned for the kit. Just as fast going up as it is down, so fast it’s kinda scary! The compressor is loud, but not too loud, the sound of air releasing in the boot is pretty loud and freaky first time around as well.

I took it lower than Dedy had initially just to see how bad it was at the front, but the rub isn’t all that bad. A thinner tyre will fix it easy. Even with more aggressive offset and a stretched tyre it should be AOK (rim won’t touch, it’s all in the tyres). More soon!

Wiring mess.

SUGA is still at Top One Auto getting her air suspension installed. Great thing about the R32 Golf is that the battery is in the boot which makes all of this wiring potentially a little easier, and neater. The bad thing is that the rear boot is quite shallow in comparison to an ordinary MKV which means we’ll have to get an audio shop to design a raised cover of some sort to hide all the gear (huge aluminium air tank and compressor not pictured in the above shot).

She’ll be the very first R32 Golf to ever have air suspension in Australia. We won’t be sure of how low it’ll go straight off the bat, we won’t know how well the car will handle after the install too (whether it’ll be totally crap, or AOK). Unknown territory so it’s no wonder that the community is pretty excited about this install. More updates as they come!

Sierra Sierra Evo from the USA.

Hankook Evo.

Too many amazing cars to take photos of so I instead decided to bug people by yelling out their names and taking snaps of them as they turned around. “Charles!”

“Tendy!”

World Time Attack Challenge (WTAC) was on today. Perfect weather, bumped into lots of people, felt very much like I was at a rave! More pics here.
