Yoshis Egg Ver.2 phase 2 complete!!!

Yoshi's project egg has come a long way!

Ver.1 of his egg project had to be scrapped due to Engine failure. He had to make a though decision on either to put a new eng in Ver 1 or to just find a new egg. Weighing the cost Yoshi decided to put Ver 1 to rest and it would be cheaper to just find a new egg. It set Yoshi back a few steps but he kept the faith of building an Egg in Hawaii.

He found another solid platform to start all over again. wasnt the color he wanted but its prob the only deep violet effect Previa in Hawaii. I myself never ran across anouther previa of this color. 
 
Even though his project Ver2 is far from finished. yoshi needed help and i offered to help him as much as i could to get his air installed. I was lucky enough to be the choosen one to put together Phase 2 of the egg! Everyone knows me for building Award winning Scions in Hawaii. But i'm moving away from just Scions and going back to my roots in building cars and in building just about anything.

It was a long 2 weeks of custom fabricating and installing and uninstalling making sure it was done right! Nothing was just bolt up. but I did make it so the rears do all bolt up for easy servicing!

The Install went well just that the Easy Street Digital Controller thats still giving me problems after hours of playing with it. My final conclsuion on it "note this is my opinion on this controler" Mybe yoshi might think differant when i show him how it works. Nice high tech device easy to hook up.IF the wires for the valves wasnt miss labled. but semi works.. unless i did something wrong.. I did what easy street told me.. Remove all air mufflers on the EXH.. and throttle valves be removed but yoshis system dosnt have throttle valves. than made sure system was full with air before tunning it. It went though the tune cycle but by the time it got to the rear bags the system was low on air. The auto ride hight works but not smoothly.. it goes up in short brust not smoothly.. The LCD read out sometimes goes funky. Dont know if easy street can swap the LCD controler out maybe this is a defective part? But if anyone has this controler please your input is greatly appricated. 
 
Phase 2 consisted of an air install as many of you were following his update topic of the build. 
 
The phase2 consist of 
 
Universal Air Suspension kit.
480 Viair Compressor
4 gal tank
1/2 valves 
1/4 in DOT lines and DOT compression type fitting
Silk Road Coilovers with UAS bags 
Easy street Digital Controler
Custom made install. 
Re trimmed Fender Flares. 
Fender Flares Color Matched
And a full buffing of the paint. 
 
Just wanted to thank Yoshi for giving me the chance to work on his egg and be part of his project and to let me do what I love doing!

nicely done. dayam.

Wow, painting the flares made a HUGE difference!  I actually really love that color.

I like I like... can imagine how this will be as more of the project is completed... Congratulations Yoshi and the work looks killer eight08customs!!!!

That is so sick. good job marshall.

Very nicely done fellas Im digging the color too I dont think Ive ever seen that color on a Previa what year is it again???

That color is sick.  That car is sick.  Well done Marshall and Yoshi!  Looks amazing!

I've been following the build and am very impressed with the final outcome. Another inspiration for us previa owners.  Now it's time for the aero kit.

Thats freekin sweet!!!!the color actually looks real good to me.Marshall,you did a damn good of a job!especially on the buffing.paint looks brand new!are you a perfectionist?cuz everything you did,seems perfect!
Yoshi,your face must be hurtin right now with all that smiling now that ur van is "finished".i dont normally like the vanning style except for Rays Odyessy and now your Estima.cant wait to see what else you got going on with it.congrats!

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/rayz_garage/still%20pics/daaaaaaaaaaamn_copy.jpg[/IMG]

WOW!!! Just wow..

Nice job on the air Marshall!! 

I  hope you can help me out later when I get the funds to bag the oddy!! It's a work in progress but with the holidays coming up, it'll take me longer to purchase the pieces..

Yoshi, the EGG  looks SIK!!! Even without the bodykit, it looks SOLID!!! The stance is sweet and looks nuts with the flares/over fenders!! Hope that we can someday have our own Hawaii wagon meet !!

finally! man that thing is animal!.  sitting so perfect.  once the aero is on itll look even more bad ass

very nice!! I am very happy for you yoshi!!! 

Great job Marshall!!! two thumbs up!!

love it man! that color is bananas! like the flares too... good job yall!

dayam!!! is right! sikk!! 
marsh.. i've been following most of your projects.. and im very well impressed with your skillz!!  as always.. great work!!

sikk yosh.. cant wait for further updates.. i bet shaun is right.. i would be hurting too!! lol

-josh

Damnnn  came out pretty nice mang !

The Egg is beyond any of my wildest expectations!  eight08customs really went above and beyond what I requested of him.  He decided to "Color match" the Overfenders  as well as Buff the whole ride for me himself.  We never discussed any of that......if doing all the Custom Work on the Air Sus, Trimming the Fender/Overfenders, "Making" my Oil Pan Gaurd "Fit", Spending many Hours trying to get the Easy Street Digital Controller to work wasn't enough to ask of him.  I am truely just at a lost for words.  I can't stop looking at the photos.

I also got to give it up to everyone for helping me get my Egg to her current state........you all know who you are.......if it were not for all of your help.......she would still be the "Barney mobile" ugly and stock.  Wish I could of shown Dave my Egg.......I know he would of loved my exhaust......never told anyone but that exhaust was done in his honor.  Wanted to run "Dual" like his GS.......but I be too broke.  LOL  R.I.P.......check in on us from time to time aight?  Miss you man.

I can't wait to see my baby in person.  I am sure that the photos just don't do her justice.  Don't know if I can sleep tonight.  LOL 

Thank you for all the compliments!

Sukoshiyoshi

:giggity:

I love it

VERY NICE........... the EGG is ALIVE !!

Congrats on the Egg becoming the cause of your smiles! You'll catch yourself staring at it from time to time where you just look at it and wonder wow is that really mine hahahahaha beautiful job Marshall, 808 holding it down hard like always.... damn we mainlanders need to step it up hahahahaha :slap:

Absolutely beautiful Yosh......I am utterly speechless how well your egg turned out...
Are you planning on doing HIN?
 
Props to you Marshall - u truely finish your jobs with utmost perfection!

That is one very nice egg....

UberE500,

Naw she won't be seeing any shows.....even after she gets complete Aero, body/paint, and other future plans.  I am all about doing stuff like "Toys for Tots", "Back to School Drive", "Hawaii Food Bank", any stuff which benefits a good cause or to support the VIP Styling here in the 808.  This project was "all about me"........not to be judged.  I don't need a trophy to tell me that my Egg looks good.  It is how I always wanted it to look and hearing compliments from those who share the same love for the Vip Styling is more than enough for me.

Good things really do come to those who wait.......and to those who have great friends.  Met a lot of great people through my build.  This Egg is "hats off" to all of you.  I think I am able to appreciate this more because of all the "bumps" along the way.  Scary thing is there is so much more I want to do............but we will see "when" or "if" it is going to happen.  Took me over 5 years to even get to this point......or some where around that number.  "Senior Moments".  Just glad I have a vehicle where I will be able to load up the "Odyssey 4-wheel Scooter".

Sukoshiyoshi

Congrats Yohis. She came a long way but it was worth the patience and wait.

Awesome job Marshall. Man gots some skillz.

She soon will be in your capable hands.  Brakes are just "kind of" important.  LOL  I guess I could always drop her to "full low" to drag her to a stop.  NOT!

Sukoshiyoshi

NICE, I'm really digging the color. Can't wait to see it finished up

it brings a tear to my eye to see her at this stage. im glad i could do my part to get her here. i hope i will soon catch up to where your at. youve done a great job thus far. what kit are you wanting to go with?

Ill be on the bottom of the list with my egg! hahaha!

I am no where at the same stage as you guys!

Very nice work guys!  I'm really feelin the color.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and that's all that matters! You pulled it off..........

I am more than willing to do these as well! If you hear of any, please spread the word :koolaidwall:

^^^^^will let you know if I hear anything.  Not sure it "Toys for Tots" is happening this year.....but every year it seems to get smaller and smaller....if the cops would give "immunity" and not give any tickets more would come out.  I miss the good ol' days when they closed off the streets and gave us a Police Escort.  Now a days it is "enter at you own risk".  Sad because the real losers are the kids.  But then again you can't hate on the Cops just because they doing their job either.  Either way....it is a "lose,lose".

Shawn,

Your Egg is way ahead of mine.  It got air, complete aero, Front/Tail Conversion, some interior work, etc.  My Egg would of never been through the different stages and kept me "motivated" if it were not for your "parts".  In fact because of you I got "Overfenders" and were able to make my wheels "fit", also the Wiper Mod was via you, Depo Red/Clear Tails, TEIN Super Wagon Coil-Overs (no longer on the Egg).  Thanks a lot man!  Looking forward in seeing you Egg come together.......it is going to look sick......it already does.

Sukoshiyoshi

the egg looks sick.  i love the deep purple and the rapiers.

You the man!!! I be lovin' this egg even more...

props to marshall sick...congrats yoshi

clean clean previa. it is simply clean for phase

I will be taking "delivery" of my Egg today.  It will be the first time seeing her since dropping her off with eight08customs.  I am super excited to say the least.

Sukoshiyoshi

SIIIIIIIIIICK!   Love it Yoshi!   Mad Props!

Much mahalos man!  You should see this thing in person........its just rediculous.  I still can't believe its mine.  LOL

Sukoshiyoshi

OMG!!! I am in love!!!!

Thanks guys... 
 
Just imagine that old toyota commercial... the guy jumping in the air " OH WATA FEELING" 
 
[img]http://img2.travelblog.org/Photos/10048/96989/f/680647-Oh-what-a-feeling--TOYOTA-0.jpg[/img]
 
THE END!!! Untill Phase 3!!!!!!

Phase 3...........you had the answer right before that......"The End".  LOL

"Oh what a feeling"......I remember those commercials......those were the good old days......but now with my Egg I can experience some good "new" days.

Sukoshiyoshi

Wow that looks awesome! I love the flares! 808customs awesome job on the install! how's the ride?

nice.. im actually feelin the purple

[IMG]http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q68/HiAceKonnexion/love.gif[/IMG]

Got word froma friend that your egg is at servco.. Hope its nothing major... and I hope you told then its bagged to, if they rack it on a 2 post lift and don't know its bagged, your bag could explode... my friend said your ride is looking sick, he really loves your rims... you wanna sell it to him?

Yeah my Egg is currently at SERVCO.........I was losing pressure in my Brakes......so the Master Cylnder is being replaced.  Hope that is the only culprit.  This was already the plan before getting the Air Sus completed.  My other Master Tech Neal K. is working on her and he is familiar with air.  Thank you for your concern though.

I also have plans to take her to Progressive Auto Sounds to have them take care of some items for me as well.

As for my wheels.....nah I am going to be keeping them for a long time.  In fact I would like to eventually fix all the imperfections and make the wheels all cherry.  Tell him to pick up the crazy offset Rapiers in the For Sale Sections.  [url]http://www.vipstylecars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12581[/url]  Wish I had the monies and capabilities of running those offsets.  What kind of ride does your friend have?

Also loving the way that you ride is coming together.......is she HIN bound?

Sukoshiyoshi

[QUOTE=mista808;205542]... and I hope you told then its bagged to, if they rack it on a 2 post lift and don't know its bagged, your bag could explode... [/QUOTE]

Can you please elaborate?  What safety precautions do we have to take in lifting vehicles with air bags? Thanks.

It is my understanding that when rolling any ride with Air Sus when putting her on a Lift of even Jacking her up you need to release the air in the bags.......to prevent premature ejac......bag failure.  So "if and when" your Egg goes into servicing the techs need to know to release the air in the bags.  Atleast that is my understanding.

Sukoshiyoshi

Oh, because of the rolling stock pulling down on the inflated bags?
I hope the shop takes note of whatever procedure they need to follow to not damage this van, but I really dig it!

That purple is a really good colour imo, and I've never seen another Previa that colour either

^^^^Thank you for your comment.

The more that I look at my Exhaust I wish that I would of held out putting it on until after I completed an Aero Kit.  Right now it just looks out of place (especially from the side).  I don't regret getting the exhaust.......just should of held out and waited.  But then again if I was waiting for the kit I may never be able to put the exhaust on there.  LOL

Sukoshiyoshi

rooks awesome yosh.  can't wait for phase 3.

Phase 3................yeah you and me both.

Sukoshiyoshi

the egg is cute. :)

[quote=sukoshiyoshi;207258]Phase 3................yeah you and me both.[/quote]

x2.

I re-assure you that it is not going to happen anytime soon.  This Economy ain't help any.

Sukoshiyoshi

did u paint ur corners?

These are indeed "amber" painted clear corners.  I purchased these from Yahoo Auctions Japan a while back.  The amber was not shot very clean and even.  But for the time being it does the job for me.

Sukoshiyoshi

saw you on the road today going down kalakaua, sick!!!! i love that muffler too

Thanks for the compliment......thinking about taking off the Exhaust for now.  I am sure if I had a aero kit she would "flow" so much better.  But being that I don't see that happening in the any near future so I may replace it with something a little more "subtle" for the time being.  Lately been turning the heads of a lot of Popos in the Waikiki area and would like to "lessen" the attention from them.  

Any updates on the repairs for your wagon?  Nailed a couple of mean pot holes which I didn't see because they were filled with water....from all the recent rain.  My wheels have a couple new "custom" design work done to them.  LOL  "Non-Bent" wheels and Hawaii roads.......there is no such thing!  LOL  Doesn't help that I tend to ride at a PSI level where my wheels take the brunt of all the pot holes and the ride is pretty stiff.  But hey atleast my ride height looks good.  LOL  Never understood why people would scrape when they had the option of not damaging their stuff..........now look at me.........just got to shake my head.  LOL

Sukoshiyoshi

im just gonna work on the suspension for now, focus on the rims later, might order 2 new rims for the front so i can go lower offsets.  im thinking 18X9 +11, im currently running 18 X 8 +30.  but for dec./jan. im putting a rear lip and my fat vip mufflers on

What kind of mufflers you got?  Smart that you going to put of the rear lip along with it........should flow nicely.  Any pics of the Muffler that you plan to put on?

Sukoshiyoshi

generic brand but they are super clean and they look just like my mufflers i had on my Q45, dual quad with fatty long slanted tips, dont wanna thread jack, ill try post pictures in my thread

No worries about the threadjack..........please post up those photos of your exhaust.  Very interested in what they look like.

Sukoshiyoshi

Yoshi the egg looks sick great work. God Bless

^^^^Thank you very much.

Sukoshiyoshi

No one around here does Previas it must be nice to have so many folks actually around to enjoy your hobby with, never the less every day i log on and look at ur egg haha sounds crazy but it motivates me.

^^^^^^That is exactly why I started my Egg project.....not too many people doing up Eggs.  Ver 1.0 began over 5 years ago and "stalled", never made much progress only to have her blown her head gasket.  Ver 2.0 came about quite quickly (compared to ver 1.0) with the help of many friends and supporting Wife (she don't know too much but I plan to keep it that way) she has reached her current status.  It will probally take another 5 years to get a kit.  LOL  I hope not but there is not rush.  There is already a sweet Egg here in Hawaii with an Origin kit rolling around.  

Glad that my project is motivating you.  Little words of advice would be to take your time and do (what ever project) right the first time.  It will save you a lot of money and heart ache in the long run.  Take the opportunity to meet a lot of people and inquire of their expert advice and experience.  They will really help your project take form and shape.  I know that has been the case with my build, if it were not for the many people who offered their services and expert advice my Egg would still be the rotten, purple and stock.

Good luck!

Sukoshiyoshi

Haha, well rest assure your advice did not fall on deaf ears. The fact that ther is none rolling around great Fort Worth TX is appealing as far as im not following the in car(240) which i have been driving for 9 yrs but everyone and there granny has one. Also that my beautiful fam has been growing there is six of us ( wife and 4 kiddos) is the biggest reason why im chosing to do previa we have a 93 GS lowered and a couple lil things done but we dont fit in it anymore lol. But God is good and soon I will have enough monies to buy my Previa and i hope u dont mind my occasional question bout them. So until then I will def keep in touch here, God Bless.    Benny.

Kenny,

Glad to hear that you may be joining the Egg Family.  No worries about the questions....I will answer as much as I can.....rest assured that there are a lot of Egg lovers here and I know that they will also be more than willing to help you along with the Egg project as well.

Sukoshiyoshi

It's so clean and simple

Very clean van..  Love it and did u frabicate the air ride or just buy the whole kit?

It was built using the UAS Parts but there was a lot of Fabrication, Welding, upgrading parts to make her work properly.  I would call it the Eight08customs System......props once again to the Master Installer/Fabricator. 

The only gripe I got about the system is the Easy Street Digital Controller........that is not Eight08customs fault.......the unit is defective.  I am probally going to have to install normal "switches"....so much for going Digital.  

Sukoshiyoshi

you know everytime i look at your van i still have a little sting of regret of letting those fender flares go.... but theres no place or person i would rather have them.. :)

Shawn,

Sorry and Thank You at the same time.  Without the Overfenders, Extended Sliding Door Hinge, Oil Pan Guard, etc. all from you, my Egg would of never got the chance to run my wheels.  Too bad those CF Over Fenders on Yahoo Auctions Japan fell through.  Then we both would of been rockin Over Fenders.

If you look at my post right above yours I was talking about being bummed with the Easy Street Digital Controller...........well I should of "knocked on wood" because the Unit has experienced catastrophic (sp) failure.  My Egg is now down and Eight08Customs is having to "re-do" my set up due to defective product.

Thats no good. Is easy street doing anything to help out?

man that sucks!!!! i decided not to use a air controller just because of that.... switch box for me.

mdenoga,

They did actually respond to my e-mail.  Please reffer to the "Wheels and Suspension" section.  Hopefully this will have a happy ending.  Refund would be nice.  Simplicity is definately the way to go when it comes to Air Sus..........all I have is regrets.  I guess you live and you learn.........and hope that others can "learn" from my experience.

Sukoshiyoshi

Hope all goes well for you Yoshi.

if i were you id look into dakota digital. ive  had no problems with the system and good customer service. i wanted to trade faceplates and colors of my controller.  they swapped my chrome with the blue for brushed with the green. i got tired of the fingerprints on the chrome. for no charge i just had to pay shipping there and back.

a-holesniper aka teamplayer,

Thanks, I hope so too.

Fresh,

Personally I just want to get away from any form of Digital Controller.  I should of listened to my installer and kept it simple.  But I am glad to hear that your Dakota Digital is not giving you any problems.  Who knows, spending the extra couple hundred dollars to get the Dakota Digital Controller and I might of been a happy camper......I guess I will never know.

Sukoshiyoshi

yea sometimes i do miss my switchbox though. it was kinda fun especially when people were staring.  you can make it do alot more things quicker. if my dakota ever gives me problems swithcbox is going back in.

Switch Box is the direction that I am headed...........no more Digital Controllers for me.

Sukoshiyoshi

Switch boxes work so much better! I am pulling the air ride tech controller of my other project to put on a switch box like I have on my LS

Going switch box is going to cost me an arm and a leg.  4 Senders, Dakota Digital Gauge, 200 PSI Pressure switch = More than 4 Bills.  Got to thank Mikey LikeNoOtherLLC for ordering the parts for me and eight08customs for "donating" a switchbox and doing all the "install/repair" to my Egg.

Reliability......here I come.

the top one.. but I am running 2 tanks and the 480c Viairs.. Nice system but just really slow up in the front.. and its just an accord.. my lexus takes less then a milsecond to go up where my accord takes maybe a minute

here is a picute.. if anyone gets mad I will take it down... just PM me

ok... so what is this van up to now? even if it is the same i still want new pics....

i am jealous now......your egg looks so good!

damn thats dope!!!

Shawn,

Nothing new to share........only new modds would have to be fender and wheel damage from driving low.  LOL  I decided to do my own version of "dent doctors" with my Club.  But then I had to do something because the Fender caved in and it was so bad that I was rubbing even when I was at 80 PSI (normally run 58-60 PSI).  But still haven't learned my lesson and tend to run more in the range of 50 PSI fronts and 30 PSI rears......and when I am stuck in traffic I drop it another 10 PSI on both front and rear.  Technically I could run at 0 PSI but it would have to be completely smooth and level.  

The funny thing about it all is I always thought that I would always air up once I got air but I find myself "just going for it" at times.  Totally different from what I thought air would do to me.  LOL  I enjoy the sound of rubbing.......eventually it will go away.  LOL

Sukoshiyoshi

Yoshi,

Nice to hear from you...glad your doing well!!!

hows the air system? the switches are doing way better than the easystreet huh?

[QUOTE=sukoshiyoshi;277889] I enjoy the sound of rubbing.......eventually it will go away.  LOL

Sukoshiyoshi[/QUOTE]


:giggity::biggthumpup: lovin it!!!

Hondaboi,

I am very much enjoying the switches......will never go back with Easystreet Controller.  What a waste of my hard earned monies.  Fail!

Who ever said going air will prevent from scraping and damage........don't believe them.  It just makes you wanna go lower.  LOL

Sukoshiyoshi

You can say that again

Yoshi i may have found you a kit that uses no Door caps.. and maybe be easier to mod for the USDM van... 
 
I think its optional door caps?? 
 
By the way did you get those bolts from Mikey yet?

for sure need door caps....

Marshall,

I have seen that kit before, it does look nice but I would definately go with door caps.  I guess you could always "fill in" the stock one but I like the "look" of the caps compared to "no caps".

As for the Bolts, I am awaiting arrival.

not feeling the front but if you got this front and rear it would look nice.

the 2nd one is the final konnexion kit. it looks like you dont necessarily need the panels for the side skirts.

That kit is on eBay right now.. is poly.. and like only 699.00..... apparently, this kit was produced in the US for a Japanese company....  They are supposed to be based out of Cali...  If I could ever get a copy of mine made, which I'm not.. I would try through them so I could have it in poly...

yeah it was for a company called jps. the kit was called US groovy.

Here's a T-Selection kit on Upgarage that doesn't need any door cap modification:

nice find!!!!! yoshi its calling you!!!

Here's a rough estimate of how much it would cost: (Using the charges I paid for my JP kit)

T-Selection body kit  (19,999 yen)   230.00
Bank Fee - Japan                                 7.00
Commission                                        50.00
Domestic Shipping - Japan                175.00
Packing/Label/Handling                      50.00
International Shipping- Ocean          400.00
Transaction Fee                                  55.00

TOTAL                                                967.00

The only thing I'm not sure of is how much is shipping from California to Hawaii, or maybe an importer can ship it directly to you.

What kit is this one? Seems like this one can get away without the door caps

That is clean.
I like that two-tone scheme.

That T-Selection is looking mightly delicious, if I were to even think about doing it I would definately need to find an importer who will ship direct from Japan to Hawaii.  I once brought a part over and the shipping costs killed me because I paid for shipping from Japan to Cali and Cali to Hawaii.  Pretty messed up considering Hawaii is just "kind of" in between Cali and Hawaii.

That is a great find though........no door cap moddification, fogs, and the kit looks like it is in decent condition.

:biggthumpup: Anytime Shawn !!

With the Holiday Season coming up I am going to be needing my funds for the Mrs. and Daughter.  My "needs" are going to have to wait.  Besides I got some other things that I need to get taken care of on my Egg before I drop for the Aero.

jdmpalace, thanks for the offer when I am able to pick me up an Aero from Japan I will hit you up.

Testing waters........maybe parting her out.  Items that maybe up for sale is as follows:

Custom Silk Road Coil-over/UAS Bag Suspension.  Willing to sell entire Egg air sus off my Egg complete if interested
Custom Extended Long Hinge (sliding door)
Depo Red & Clear Rear Corners
Adjustable Lateral Bar
Custom Crystal Shifter
Style King Overfenders (if I sell 1st dibs goes to Shawn). Have not yet decided if I will sell......cut up the fenders pretty good

Not 100 percent sure however 85 percent is leaning towards parting her out.

Mahalo for looking.

Sukoshiyoshi

yoshi i need those overfenders.. make me a copy... :)

Let me know yosh! You still have my phone #?

Shawn,

No worries if I do sell the Overfenders you will have first dibs.  Really on the fence as I cut up the fenders pretty good.  If I take off the Overfenders it is going to looked jacked up.

I am entertaining parting out or as a whole.  Ideally local would be great to save on shipping costs but if peps are willing to pay for the shipping I am maybe game.

Sukoshiyoshi

New buyer came by last night to pick her up.  I watched until she was out of site.  Mixed feelings but I know that she went to a good home.  I am looking forward in seeing updates to her by the new owner.

Mahalo once again to those who helped me with this build.

Sukoshiyoshi

Anything up your sleeve next Yosh?

[QUOTE=elpresidente;464976]Anything up your sleeve next Yosh?[/QUOTE]

LOL He already called me! cant wait! Ill wont spoil the suprise!

Gald it went to a new home and not parted out like many of the cars I have touched or built and just sold to make money in just a few months later. All i know is that egg has one soild air setup. 

Yoshi so who bought it. IS he going to do more to it?

The guy who picked her up has one of Mikey's old eggs (welded slidding door one).  He is thinking of pick up a kit and body paint.  He also mentioned that he has the JDM headlights and tails.  Not sure if he is going to pit it on this egg though.  I told him to keep me updated on her.

Let me hit you up some I can come bye some time

Sukoshiyoshi

Mike,

I sent an email to you a little while back with a photoshop request of my plans and next project.  Marshall will once again taking care of my air sus.

Sukoshiyoshi

Ahhhhhhhh..ok.  I need to check my spam folder.  There's a chance it might have been put there because I would have remembered otherwise!

Mahalo for the photoshop.............

[QUOTE=sukoshiyoshi;465187]Mahalo for the photoshop.............[/QUOTE]

You should go with the airrex wireless management.. i know you want presets! and this one works not like that other stuffs you we installed in the egg.

Nice !

I saw that AIRREX makes a kit but is it compatible with the US spec?  Wireless does sound very tempting.........

Got a call from the new owner last week to tell me that the purple people eater was involved in an accident........not sure how extensive the damage to her is.  From what he shared another vehicle ran into her and there was damage to the front end.  He mentioned that he is possibly thinking of picking up a different ride so I am under the impression that she is beyond repair.

Sukoshiyoshi

sucks to hear yosh.  hope its still in one piece
