Just Bagged Ody in Sin City

Hello! My name is Jimmy and I'm a self taught noobie who decided to convert his baby hauler into a bagged "ODD2SEE" van here in Vegas. I just finished the install this past weekend and still need a bit more tweeking. I went with UAS with Airlift Autopilot rolling on BMW 7 series Concaves 19x9 and 19x10 et24 all around with 235/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sports. Hope to meet some of you on here sometime to learn more about the VIP scene as well as the air ride stuff. Let me know what you think besides taking better pics.

i like!

Damn that's nice

Dammn, you took an idea that I had in mind, but congrats for pulling it off, I like it. Your car sits perfect imo, plain and simple. Can you drive it that low?

Thanks, I had this idea way before I bought this used van back in May. The van sits nicely cause it doesn't sit on the ground, just hella low about 2" off. I love this stance to drive which I could but doesn't work well with the drive shaft Angle. I'm watching the cv boot right now. Overall, I like it clean and simple especially for daily driving. I prefer coilovers but they don't make them yet for this model. 

I'm not sure how much more VIP I could add to it since I would consistently have empty juice boxes, crumbs, and dirty finger prints all over it from my kids.

Thaty's the first Ody of that gen I've seen bagged. Looks great!
Any way to get lower?

Guam getting in the game!

love it man welcome to the forums, if i was you i would consider 20's or even 21's on the ody itll look greater then it already does.

Looks great.  Off to a good start

Damn, thats nice. I told my wife you wouldn't see me in a van...but seeing your car makes me change my mind.

You just missed the yearly VIP meet in Vegas 11-2-11.  If anything, just go to the West coast regional forums on here and go to the Vegas thread and see whats happening there.

See you around.

nice van! any pics of the install?

very nice man:biggthumpup: what else did u change on the suspension?

I'm diggin' it... :biggthumpup:

might be the best use of the 7 series rims I've seen so far.

my pics dont due much justice as it seems lower in person. I'm on point to how low i want it. a body kit will make it sit flush on the floor but thats how i want it for now. As to go lower, I can chop down the brackets about an inch more but i'm just fine the way it is.

I was hoping for some coilovers but no luck only H&R springs which are not low enough for me running rubber band tires.

I put it in the rear stow away tub along with the rest of the set up. I couldnt find any room underneath. I might relocate the compressors elsewhere though. it's somewhat noisy for my baby.

A few dirty pics before the rain shower

 don't know if that will fit, i figured your car is around 06+ and that says 03+. So maybe it will?
 
Here's another no-name brand that I've just cruised past on ebay.

I wanted the van to be as functional as possible. I was considering using smaller tanks, like 4 one gallon ones or even just one two gallon one somewhere. Possibly the spare tire well in the back left... But still a long way to go before I can start modding the van. Thanks for the inspiration though. Fender mods?

Hafa Adai!!! Damn that ish is cherry like auntie Marie!!! LoL!! Yeah def check the west coast forum most of the kats from Vegas get together once in awhile. Def need to see this in person!!

Oh yeah they got a car show at aloha kitchen tomorrow Saturday the 5th! Some of the guys are showing.

this thing looks great!! any chance you could drive down to the AF VIP fest tomorrow? =)

Looks good,i'd rock this all day:biggthumpup:

I may have read wrong, but did you say you did not have to adapt the bmw wheels??  are the honda vans 5x120 not 114.3??

[QUOTE=Ericcash;421243]I may have read wrong, but did you say you did not have to adapt the bmw wheels??  are the honda vans 5x120 not 114.3??[/QUOTE]

Yup, I believe the 1st & 2nd Generation Odysseys are 5x114. 3rd gen (2005-2010) are now 5x120. Not sure about 2011-up.

H23 engine swap + wire-tuck....like a gangsta'

Saw this today at SAMs parking lot 215/rainbow,, 
Looks nice

Yup that was me but didn't let all the air out at parked. The tank was low so I left it at ride height cause I didn't want the compressors to kick in for refill as my baby was asleep. It can be a little noisy with the compressors in the cab.

Odyssey looks good nice to see someone else other then me fixing one up a third gen odyssey! What air suspension did you go with?

Looks nice...seen you around town a few times

Simple and clean nicely done...

Do you have any photos of the install?  

Mahalo,

Sukoshiyoshi

id loove a swapped, bagged, oddy =]

dopest oddy ive ever seen

[QUOTE=phenomeno;492652]dopest oddy ive ever seen[/QUOTE]
You should see his new set of wheels

i have seen you around at the meet, van is looking good man.

Any fender/suspension work needed to fit the BMW Wheels with the offsets?

Mahalo

the boys over in japan roll on coilovers not sure who does them but their on the floor might modify the driveshaft aswell

Unfortunately the USDM 3rd gen Odyssey is different from the JDM counter parts.  We got the ugly duckling.  The JDM Spec has multiple coil-over options and I know that Air Runner and AIRREX makes a kit for it.  However the USDM version only has Megan which makes a Coil-ver and that just came out in June.

I guess I will find out soon enough if there will be any Drive Shaft issues.

Sukoshiyoshi

So the part situation is rare for these models?
