I assume that gizmo, allows you to control the air ride. Does it allow you full control or just full/empty?

congrats it just went from comfortable cruiser to white trash mobile

Three letters for you sir... K M A :flipoff:

Yes, it does. Actually it only completely empties the bags while in park. It has a momentary toggle to release the solenoids and the the other side of the toggle resets the air ride computer and fills them back up, and there is a kill switch to turn off the switch completely like it's not even there.

I love it

You say it looks like a white trash ride like your interested in buying it. Sorry, I dont think it would look good in the driveway in your trailer park. Just because you think it looks like a white trash mobile doesnt mean anything. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Now you know mine. By the way, I hope i dont offend anyone who lives in a trailer park by comparing you to this guy. If so, I apologize.

Good eye on the Peffley sticker, that was on it when I bought it, just never got around to peeling it off...

Yeah I love the leadsled look as well. I made the mistake of flipping the switch on the way to work this morning! :lol:

Still gotta get used to how it works!

I'd like to get an exhaust shop to make me an X-pipe and true dual exhaust for it with some magnaflows... I think that is next on the mod list after the front suspension rebuild

5.0calypso93lx
07-21-2009, 03:27 PM
That exhaust needs to go. Just doesn't look right to have big dual tail pipes coming out of a lincoln. Any way to raise the car up a bit? IDK, I always assume that when I see a lincoln MKVIII, I just assume the air ride is gone like on most of them.

Stangman
07-21-2009, 03:58 PM
For some reason the last picture made the tailpipes look huge, those were actually the smaller ones I bought at the parts store... But hey, it is the "Hot Rod" Lincoln afterall.

I'm not sure if any of you are aware, but the man who invented the switch mechanism coined it the "Ray-Switch". The Ray Switch was designed to completely bleed all the air out of the system for the "tucked" look ONLY in parked situations, Driving like that is rediculous. Believe me, I accidentally did it this morning.

It's merely for looks and shows.

Although I could weld some trailer hitch balls on the chassis and throw some sparks :D

The more I think about it though... I would love to see it in a satin black with some scallops and pinstripes :evilgrin:

Yeah, I tried to talk him out of it. But he says he can wait a year or two till he is ready for it.:lol:

Yours done yet? Ill answer for you. NO. Rob is busy finishing yet another project that came in after yours. (RX7)

Maybe Ill have mine painted in the next year or two and we can bust em off. That is if yours is ready.:)

Dont ever get on here and bash a fellow Stangbangerz. Leave that shit for CSS. :flipoff:

if only you knew as much as you thought you did.. theres no rx7 project at the shop, a guy posted on css wanting someone to run up to west chester and simply weld up a pre bent and notched cage for him. I passed the info on to rob and got them 2 hooked up. gonna run up this weekend and knock it out

LOL! There is no room!! :lol:

Mine is close. If I didnt have to "Fix" shit that someone didnt do right in the first place, I might be closer to having it done.

Damn, Rays Stang is sinking in the concrete out there. Whats it been? 3,4 years??:eek:

It's crazy how someone whos supposed to be a mature adult/ owner of a speed shop can get on here and slander and badmouth a fellow shop. you make evrything sound bad and tell only your side of the story? didnt you ok rob to do full tubs in it to fit your 18x12's or whatever you were dreaming up under the understanding you would have to do some modding to the seats to make them fit, then you go and hack them out to replace them with minitubs so you dont have to cut the stock seats:rolleyes:

and lets not pretend rays car has been sitting out there waiting for rob to do something with it, ray had plenty of personal things going on that stopped any and all progress on the car while he got more important things together and the whole time rob let the car sit there and take up a valuable space in the shop luckily robs not charging him storage....

whatever the problem is you have with rob dont you think its high time you quit whining about it and talking shit and just went on your way and tended to your own shop?

5.whatever the problem is you have with rob dont you think its high time you quit whining about it and talking shit and just went on your way and tended to your own shop?


Here let me answer your questions...

1. Yes I own a Speed Shop.
2. I took my back seat out to Rob so he could use it to mock up the tubs so that the seat would fit. He told me to bring it out to make sure it would fit.
3.We did NOT hack them out, we spent 3,4 nights after work making the tubs that Rob installed fit the seats.
Here let me post some pics for ya...

Notice the section we cut out.

http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL86/503042/13380102/361517196.jpg

They fit, after some work. (Good thing I paid/traded parts Rob to do this huh?)
http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL86/503042/13380102/362705547.jpg

4. You are correct. I used Ray to make a point. You score.:flipoff::lol:

5. Not at all talking shit. Just dis-appointed with Rob and what he did for my Coupe. For a year and a half he had my Stang and I am extremely dis-appointed with the work he did. I had to have the tank re-done. The tubs re-done. and the looks of it, the maching he did on the front calipers, re done. So yeah, $3k and I have had to redone alot of shit he did...you would be salty too.


Hopefully he does better for you. Good luck with it.:bigthumb

Wow, And I thought I had to deal with internet drama. Anyway Jesse nice mod I think it is extremely cool. I have used them before. If only they pumped up quickly it would be like hydraulics.
As for the rest of it, don't ya think you should take it somewhere else.
If you don't have anything nice to say about the man's car then SHUT UP.
If somebody does you wrong and you aren't pleased post it in feedback/reviews, that is what is is there for and people will see it. They aren't going to search other threads looking for your opinions and experiences.

It looks cool Jesse i like it.

Craig if you have a problem with me you tell me to my face. Im tired of you little digs here and there. I did a ton of work on your car that i didn't charge for, if you would like i can start posting pics and let everyone be the judge of what was done poorly, i dont think you want that. You wanted the full tubs for those moster wheels you were hoping to put on it and you wanted the car on the ground, thats why it was done the way it was done. As far as the calipers you bought wheels that wouldn't clear your brakes, i made them work. The fuel neck for the tank was run in the factory location, if you wanted in moved i would have done it. Its funny thayt you were happy with everything and know all of a sudden there are problems. If there was a problem with anything i did you should have told me and would have been glad to take care of it you know that. After all the times you brought shit out here for me to fix and running out here in the morning for me to weld something for you for a customers car that you had to have right then and how much did i charge you.....nothing. All the shit that we have helped each other with over the years all of the shit i did on the pinks car and on vinnys car and never charged a dime. Pretty fucking sad.

and you dont want to run that TA trust me

I'm sure you're aware the problems that these cars have with the air ride systems failing, so I figured that's what the problem was.
