Yates's Cadillac adventures

Looks good on those wheels



Try using that juxtaposer or whatever and can never get a clean chop like you do lol

It took a lot a practice to get smooth chops lol. The app I have now isn't quite as good as the juxtaposer app I had before imo but it works for all I use it for.

I will let you know what I think of it. I have used about everything out there over a few different vehicles.

I do but there is a lot of story there plus I like new stuff and they gave me a good deal.

Ordered these today, in Iowa you can use plates from the same year as long as you carry your newer ones in the car.

That's badass!

Nice, I knew some states allowed that. Been trying to figure out rules for Louisiana.

I'm not sure exactly how it is legal but super pumped.

So no big updates yet but finally cleaned out the trunk of spare parts and looked over the new air management. Hopefully get the setup figured out tonight so that I can get the necessary stuff made and then get at it this weekend through next weekend.

Need to sort through all this but lots of extra parts that are in decent condition.

so much SECKS

Spent some time on it last night and have my mount for compressors and manifold/ECU figured out so that it will easily mount in the trunk out of the way, and she is on jack stands so that I can remove current air components. Was hoping to be a little further along but spent a decent amount of time on deciding on the layout of the mount and then an embarrassingly amount of time trying to get the side skirts removed

New/old plates arrived also.

Such a sick car. Needs less stickers on the windows though, it detracts from the look for me... just my opinion, though.

So that air bag controller you have to use their manifold? Cant use it as a controller for your own valves? i was looking on their site and didn't see anything about that option

I agree but just haven't take the time to remove the windshield ones.

As far as I can tell yes. I think the manifold senses pressures.

That's unfortunate, was actually kinda interested

What other valves are you wanting to use and why would you be so opposed to a valve block?

 

[HackMcMaster]

I prefer to mount the valves as close as possible to the bags themselves to minimize the possibility of losing an individual corner

If you're that worried you should be running hard lines. If you take the time to run the lines to where they will not be by anything hot, hit by road debris, or pinched/cut by moving parts you will be fine. Valve blocks really clean up air setups and are way easier to install.
