Default Bagged ti progress .

havent posted in awhile but been hanging around. been busy,

here is my recent project, its just done so , next is paint and interior.

i do have different tails and all the chrome will be painted to match the car.
im thinking about a new m-front bumper, and the reiger rear.

im only 19 and have had 3 bagged trucks already so i decided to throw my minitruckin background on my ti, its now a project car not much the daily driver . it very different and yet people love it and yes ppl HATE it but oh well its mine and its different!

may be the first bagged ti, correct me if i wrong >>>


http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f125/b...roject-399812/
some of it is on s-10 forum , and so ill post it here ,



Its a 96 318ti .full custom front and rear setups. started in oct 08' jus been slowly building it since,

HERE is some of the finishing pics before i bring it to the paint shop .!

ive been on s-10 forum for awhile now and, most my parts came from the venders and group buys i guess- on the forum.

i spent like months trying to find 1 bagged ti and couldnt find ANYTHING for help so i just had to go off of HOPE that i dont cut anything i need. and a lot of test fits especially since im running a 19" rim

subscribed.

The tires aren't my thing, but more power to ya for doin something different. I wanted to bag my Ti for the driving performance since bags, used in the correct situation, are a performance suspension. Plus it would be nice to be able to lay out while sitting still and ride a little lower than stock going down the road.

My theory on Darwinism might be proven correct here soon. Very dangerous thing to do there.

Airbags are not my thing, but you did a great job with them, pretty original on a ti! I just hope you don't kill anyone when you crash because your tire failed.

Not sure where you've heard this from, but it's complete bs. Your stock base model suspension will handle and perform much better than air bag suspension. That being said, it looks cool but you won't see me doin that to my car, no way.

In certain circumstances, it is considered a sport suspension. I have seen clips on TV from performance shows about adding them to older muscle cars to help them handle better. I wasn't really aware it wouldn't help our cars but I should have figured that. And yes, I understand that there is a huge difference between our cars and 60's and 70's muscle cars.

I believe Air Ride actually makes a performance air suspension, I doubt if it will make the car handle better than some high-quality coilovers but it will handle better than stock, of course it's a moot point since I guarantee that they don't make a kit for the ti
