Fabricating hanging air suspension management setup


Did some more work tonight and dremeled out plastic panels to clear the bar I am using to mount the Tank etc.

Here is the factory threaded hole That was not being used that I mounted the bar to. There was one on each side and perfect height to where i needed it to be. Its like Lexus knew I needed this to be here =)



Rough cuts. 








Filing it down to make it look clean.




Back on the car for test fit.






Tomorrow I will drop some felt tape where the blue tape is so that it will not be metal on metal and will not get scratched from the bar mounting when everything is finalized.

Check out the cool "brace bar" haha. fits around factory plastic panels

Moving right along

some more progress

finished routing the wires for the Air setup
Made quick disconnects plugs for both compressors



wires on quarter panel routed. power Distribution block and relay mounted here as well.



heading to the other side



Tapped Parking lights
and Ignition on the other side, Ignition is to a Fuel Pump Control Module actually, a bit scary to grab it here and possibly short something out and cause vehicles fuse to pop and stall the vehicle but i will fuse small here right after i tap into wire so nothing bad will happen. This way I am not having to run any wires to the Dash besides the Controller. I ended up running the Ignition to the Cigarette Lighter, so I recommend you do the same if you are using what i've written as a guide.





Dropped the Tank back down
to get it ready to send to powdercoating

Here is the third mounting point

I will Nutsert it






Carpet back in place and now all ready for the tank to be powdercoated and back.



the Third Center Bracket I made



Picked up BeatSonic Navi bypass through Groupbuy also next to it, Power Magic I've been sitting on for a bit for my DVR camera



Up next while I wait for the Powder Coating will be probably to prewire the Amplifier Subwoofer setup since it is all apart anyway and wires are visable so later all I will need to do is fabricate Box and amp mount.

Alpine Amplifier and Sub-woofer achieved


Moving on, the trunk is still a mess and probably at least another 2-3 mounts but parts keep stacking up for other projects.
