Bibby's Bag Info Thread

[andym85]

yep...im always lookin for ish like that... if i find anything else i'll let ya know...

[meade916]

i just want you to be prepared.....not tryin to scare you.........but once you bag it you need to swallow the lump in your throat the first time you take off and you hate the way it drives. You have to have lowrider deep in your blood to deal with it......like i wouldnt expect your girl to want to drive this car at all......

its not gonna HELLA suck but it WILL take gettin used to.

oh and on the nitrogen, you will need to refill probably once a week or sooner depending on how switch happy you are. You can shut the valve off and just save it for occasions where you dont want to wait on the compressor like at a show but on the daily roll plain old air.

sorry im on that Patrone right now this is all i can think of

Cool bro, thats good enough. You cleared up my main concerns, but yea, a few months or so after i get used to the air, i'll look more into it. As far as the ride, Sean (sic fx) told me it was like a sport suspension, i was thinking air= like a cadillac or somehting, know what i'm sayin? He set me straight there. But right now, im talking my car rides like serious ass. I feel every rock, crevice in the road, EVERYTHING! That is why i want something different, and hell, bags are just plain badass. I'm sure i can get used to it, b/c I can tolerate what i am dealing with now, but it's almost misreable. If air is anywhere near this shitty, which i doubt, then i've still got my good ol faithful chevy that sits 90% of the time now, that i can drive.

You might want to look into running air to the bottom of the can aswell. My friends who do that say it helps the ride a ton and you can hit 3 wheel and dog leg Also if you dont feel confident with 1/2" valves you can just choke off the half inch dump valves and remove them after you learn how to hit your switches.

[meade916]

hey P, i agree with using 1/2" and "choking it" until you feel comfortable with it......actually i recommend at least choking out the exaust valve for starters to slow the car down some when it drops.....because a wide open 1/2" valve will make your car drop like a rock with cans

also big P: i never heard of adding the hose to the bottom for a better ride, i always figured it was for "dog legging"......care to elaborate on it some how much better of a ride is it? sounds like some good info! Maybe you can get a little diagram on how to do it cuz im definitly interested.

[Big P]

I did a fast search on the net and couldn't find any thing. So I called a friend. He says that adding air to the bottom creates a air cushion for the cylinders piston. You can make the rider harder and softer by adding and removing air from the bottom.

Im thinking if you wanted to test it out before spending all that $ on extra valves and air line. You could add a shreader valve to the bottom of the can then add some air and drive around town a little to see how you like it.

[bibby>Chode]

Without doing this, what goes into the bottom of the cans? Just plug to block it off, or is that where the air escapes from when you let the car down?

Steve delete your double post! I dont have any power here! *hint*

i took the valves for dog legging off my car. it just makes the rear drop WAY too fast. at only 150psi my back tires would actually come off the ground before the car would drop. i lost a center cap doing that. so, my advice skip the extra valves for the bottom of your rears. i'm alot happier without them.

anyway, you saw how hard it dropped with them on.

[bibby>Chode]

Wouldn't reducers have fixed that?

[sic_fx]

what happens is, when you drop the rear, the dump valve on top open and the fill on bottom opens at the same time. so even whith reducers, you are assisting gravity alot. which makes the car drop hard. not to mention you waste alot of air, through filling your rear cylinders every time you lower the rear.
