hehe, that is low..... are you still going to run the hydraulics on her like you posted ages ago? I have been obsessing over hoodrideratrod beetles and other vw's of late and love the erdiculously low look. I think they bag them and drop them on the guts when parked. I would love to see a mini doing that... keep us informed and keep up the good workgordo and mr enforcer.

Yes i am still going to run the hydraulic suspension. Ill just have to make up some bigger bump stops so it dosnt bottom out... Just need to knock up a frame to hold the 2 pumps and the 4 batteries

Hey,
That is cool
Are you sure you want to use compressors?
I hear the noise gets annoying and the condensation can rott the system. They also say it freezes in the cold but that wont be a problem for aussies.

DAVID

They are hydraulic pumps, not air compressors... So they will be pumpin hydraulic fluid around the car. Just like the yanks do it

ohh... as the name hydraulics would suggest. Sorry. I have been reading about airbagging lately and got my wires crassed as per usual.

It is going to be very cool to say the least.

David

Good stuff Dan,

I can't see the pics because I'm at work but its good to read you are making progress.

I only just re-read my post... And i meant that the batteries are 20kgs each. The pumps are a little lighter atm but thats without fluids. And the progress is ever so slow

Even though he is using hydro's and not bags, if the compressors are set up properly on a airbag system with water traps and regular attention you shouldnt have problems with condensation.

Aesome idea putting adjustable suspension in a mini Eventually i want to run a van with airbag suspension

Another slow and not much happening update






And im in the middle of a dummy set up of the hydro's to see what else im going to need. And to see if its all going to work
