What did u use for airlines on your car? I have a bitch of a time keeping air in mine. Im seriously considering tearing all my shit out and just going with a hard slam thats drivable.

Well I have used a few different things. Plastic air lines (same as like 18 wheeler air lines) they have 5/16i.d. up to like 1 inch I.d.. I use 3/4 inch for quick loud pancakes younger folks like and for like hot rods or more classic style systems I would run 5/16 line for slower smoother operation on the dump valve side. The handle the heat well and can handle lots of pressure. Look up air line tuning with the size you want. Different colors to.match color schemes and they have quick disconnects.

Ya man i have tried em all.
I have 5/16 dot plastic tubing now.
I tried push loc connectors, compression fittings even tried to hard line it with 1/4" copper but no matter what within a day or two theres zero air left in anything.
Its frustrating as hell because it takes my compressor 5 mins to fill my air tank enough to lift the car enough for it to even roll lol

hey @drolove or @torontoke , maybe one of you will know this...
years ago, i was probably, idk, 15 or so, about, shit almost 30 years ago now, we had prism, which was kind of like hbo and not around anymore..
anyhoo. on prism, they had this movie, that was filmed out in the hills in l.a., and was about canyon racing porche's. i had always thought the name of the movie was called muholland drive, but i've looked all over the internet for years now, and can't seem to find what i'm looking for.. was hoping maybe it sounded familiar...

dude, no way, you rock out with your cock out, lol.. i gotta check, but that really sounds like the movie...
it's been years since i've seen it, and don't remember much about it, other than them racing porsche's in the hils, and thought it was pretty cool back then..
wish we still had the rep system..

the cab sounded mean.. guy saw me out there taking pix and drooling on myself and backed it out of the bay and rev'ed it a few times for me.. definitely wasn't a 1200 in it, lol..
was a nice 911 turbo in the bay next to the black beetle, but i couldn't be arsed to take a pix of it.
