no unfortunatly work came to a sudden stop yesterday. I was going strong on mounting the valves/cpu when I started to throw up again for no reason. Spent the afternoon/evening heaving and today recovering. I want to do a little more work tonight but probably gonna wait till tomorrow. Got some parts today that I needed to finish continue but just been too tired to do much of anything and just trying to hydrate myself.

shit if you guys think you are excited...... Be the first one to do anything original on this site and see if you are excited.

Yea some days are better then others and I do try to make the most of them when I can. Was just happy to stay out of the hospital, that place is my own personal hell.

LoL. I know what you mean. Not that I'm an original by any means. But you're getting all positive reviews so far!

had not even considered that not a single hater had popped up yet, even more rare then doing something completely original to the site... I know it will happen sooner or later one always pops up.

Figure sooner er later someone would come on and say its not racecar enough, or something but if not great so be it.

Got some more work done today. Two steps forward and one back though as after I made the tray and mounted the cpu/valves on it I realized when I put it in its place that the seat tracks would get in the way of the hoses and wires. So then I moved the valves to the center of the tray and decided to put the cpu under the passenger seat, no big deal. The tray mounts down up front with the stock seat bolts and the back is wedged under the tank. REmoving the two seat bolts will allow the tray/valves to be pulled out and inspected/serviced if needed.

Here is with the seat all the way back, just enough room.

Will probably cover the tray either with black felt or carpet just so that it disappears under the tank. Almost ready to start running wires/hoses as well as mounting the overhead consol and flush mounting the display in it. that I have all done before so hopefully it will go faster(and I will not get sick(knocks on wood)).

those fittings facing your seat might be tough to run the lines. be careful cause a rule of thumb with air ride is no lines close to moving parts! pin hole=no psi, lol!!

the tank- yes the trunk has been planned for already and short of mounting the tank right in the middle of it, there really wasn't a good spot for it. Behind the seat was about the only place I had space.

Water trap - have not got that far yet to worry about it or the pressure switch. I am probably going to swap out those 90 degree fittings for some straight ones, the lines will exit out under the drivers seat anyway. I don't leave any loose wires hanging around nor hoses so I am not really worried about stuff getting pinched. That is why I moved the cpu.
