hey guys, just thought id put up a post about my latest additions to my daily magna.

started the first stage on my last two days off
fitted the valves, tank, compressor, switch box and preasure switches.

bought a full kit, strut front and cylinder rear.
hopefully i will get this to lay right out on its rails as i am doing alot of cutting to do so.

Looks good so far dude, keep us updated.:D

Awesome man, keep it up!

haha looks good! :D

Would look better if you got a bodykit to set it off... otherwise its got the "stock magna with bogun chopped springs" look... is further down the plans?

Very nice!!! lol @ the Nissan badged Skyline rims though :P

haha looks good! :D

Yeh agree but just the standard VRX kit for the subtle look.

great idea, only thing is by the looks of it, the kit would be hitting the ground!

but yes, a VRX kit (and a KJ rear) would look awesome!

Ahh well done looks great. so when are you able to start on my car lol. this would solve my gutter and speed bump problem and still look pimped. well done mate looks like alot of work done but will be well spent time when your done with it. keep it up. So whats the total damage to your wallet to do something crazy like this?lol if you dont mind me asking sorry.

man that is awsome can i borrow ur car for a maybe a week, and u can have it back at stock height, lol. nahhh well done mate

cheers guys

money wise it has not been that bad really. compared to what it could of cost anyways.
once i have finished the full setup, it will cost about 3.5k

if anyone wants a kit and fitting instructions, im happy to get them one and supply fitting instructions for what it cost me.

should have the front done in about a week, if all goes to plan

noice :D should look awesome once done, but i do agree on a subtle kit on her :) i'm sure u had plans of that tho didnt u...

Dude that is AWESOME!!!!!!!
:thumbsup:

Thats a seriously KICK ASS job you've done. And good to see you've gone through with it aswell.

That car is going to look HOT!
Top effort

^^ I don't think you'd actually drive around at that height though?

As long as you normally drive at a legal height, and the kit is legal/engineered, I don't know how it'd be unsafe :confused:


I reckon it looks hot. I agree with Poita though, just make sure you do some more cosmetic mods after you finish bagging it to get rid of the bogan look :P

Sorry to be a party pooper but that is unsafe and just plain ridiculous.

unsafe? only when actually be dropped (which can just be done in carparks, shows, etc etc)... i dont know how much the OP would actually drive like that... would attract alot of attention from the red and blue!

do u know wat airbags are and how they operate...?

Sorry to be a party pooper but that is unsafe and just plain ridiculous.

sorry to be... actually no im not, your a clown... read above :D kthxbai

thanks for the support guys, of course its getting more gear done guys, you dont do this much work and leave it bogan, stuff that. hehe.

wheels are next. then interior. but keep in mind this is just my daily guys. im only doing this for a laugh, and boy does it get attention.

new pic's guys, check them out

different, but would look 100x better if car was black, with chrome rims, until then i'll just say its different ;)

I love you

that is hot

nice it looks pimp looking foward to the pics when its all done

those GTV rims actually suit it IMO

but probly get the spokes coated in chrome and keep the rim silver?

Holy ****... That's a work of art.

thanks guys,

it has been fun building it so far.

next im starting on shaving all the body, so door handles, number plates relocated, antenna, so on and so on.

the number plate will live in the rear window for a few weeks untill i finish the bumper too. im recessing the number plate in the lower left of the bumper.

The Sex Right There!!!

OMFG thats hot

congrats bud

can the front go any lower???

hows the ride comfort?

not unless i cut a hole in the foor. that is sitting the cross member on my drive way.

it actually rides really nice. im going to put up a vid when i can get my hands on a vid camera.

glad you guys like it.

plus im sure if i ever go to sell it, it wouldn't be for sale for long

I Envy you plenty..:)

yeah looks sweet.! wish i could neg camber my wagon :( i think the wheels look awsome on it aswell! :bowdown:

looks good mate, but that last pics looks like its been photoshoped, it could be my eyes lol

what did u end up doing with those chromies in the other thread.

looks good mate, but that last pics looks like its been photoshoped, it could be my eyes lol

yeah i wasn't quite sure on that one either, although my monitor struggles to display dark colours properly :S

any plans for the taillights? they really look out of place now, far too stock :P

looks hawt!

when they get old, do air bags go all saggy and droopy like a set of fun bags do? lol

makes the rest of our cars look like 4x4s hahahaha

']when they get old, do air bags go all saggy and droopy like a set of fun bags do? lol

Suffering from a bit of SFBS (Saggy Fun-Bag Syndrome) mate? :)

Awesome work with the air bags mate - I really like the rims to they look good. Top job :thumbsup:

I drove past your house last night man, the car looks insane lol

sooooooooooooooooo low lol

if you do decide to get some skirts and wheel arch flares, you could have it sitting flat on the ground, bumper/skirts and all, while still keeping the rims tucked up in the guards that much!

thanks for all the coments guys.

the photo of the boot from the back has been photoshopt, but thats what im currently doing.

i thought about kitting it, but its already too low, i already catch my bumper on the floor sometimes, so i dont want to stuff up a kit if it fit one.

wheels came out good. as for the old idea for wheels, i could not lower it enough, so the got the flick.

new pics and vids will be up soon

Got any pics of this thing fully raised?

That is as sick as it gets for the Magna. Absolutely luvvin' it lol . I think like many others I will be closely following your progress on this one. My hat comes off to you sir! :clap: :drool:

About those airbag kits...

Available outside SA?

To suit cars other than a maggie?

ye mate,

i can get you kits for any type of car.
you do need a little bit of engineering know how, but really its easy as.

just pm or call me and i can let you know.

Hey man,

Looks awsome!!! im currently baggin my TE got 3/4 of it done last weekend but due to the APEC summit they reccon my cans got held up in sydney. I have everything run except the top of the struts gotta be put on the cans and thrown in.

I couple of questions.

1. When you said you cut heaps of stuff do yo mean under the guards? and how/what did you chop under there? you didnt tub the guards or anything did you?

Ive been told when i remove the plastic stuff under the frount guards theres a lip i can grind off and bash in.?? in the back i cant see it would hit anything till the sway bars hit the top of the guards?

2. with the cans was it heaps dodgy cutting the tops of the struts and welding them onto the cans?

Im ready to put the cans in and some minor wiring. SHould be finishing it of on the 22nd weekend.

Also i got cans for all 4 wheels and my kit from www.probag.com.au for $2450
but his bagged a fair few people i knows cars/utes and the workshop is 15 mins from my olds

CHeers.

sorry dude, http://www.probag.com.au/

lol so that's you that's always coming into freedom's!

can you get some pics up of cruisn height please?:D

aww i had this idea about 3 months ago, thought i was gunna be the first:sook:

but now i have to pull my finger out and bag the wagon

your a bit late dude, 1st bagged magna was rolling a couple of years ago from my research... i was seconds away from bagging my car, then i called the place that installs superchargers 1st lol

Luv it :)

Top stuff mate.

thats awesum looks so good. wish i had the money to do it :cry: haha

thanks for the comments guys

Man that ride is pimp!

Looks like you got white walls on your tyres haha

any more progress

yes, defect is off

project magna sled now back in motion again

engineered now? should get some pics of the setup and guages / switch's up man! is it all in the spare wheel tub? gotta put some grind plate on her now haha:badgrin:

na, just took out the struts and drove through regency

next is the shaving, doors and boot. this idea is copy right to me magna, hehe

looks awesome, i reackon u should do a tj rear converson, smoother lines.

next is the shaving, doors and boot. this idea is copy right to me magna, hehe

for a easier, less custom way to do the rear, swap it all for KL stuff

the bootlid is more metal than the TE-TH models, so would be MUCH easier to fill in the shallow numberplate area, rather than the entire bottom half of the TE boot

the rear bumper already has the style line removed, no custom work needed :D

the taillights also could be swapped for KL-KW (or altezza's if thats your thing) which would set it off!

nice camber !. there is a wagon on here all shaved up it looks f-in awsome. you gonna do it yourself? just a warning it would be a good idea to buy another remote and link that up before you go shaving the fronts cause the remotes seem to die at random times in my experience! it would be sick to shave and get those magnetic door poppers. run your key past the door and she opens:badgrin:

God don't :cry:

+1 for KL/KW lights.

Can you full raise two diagonal wheels and tuck the other back wheel up to show a magna tricycle? Plz? :D

that is hot! :D

hehe, na i didn't want to set up the tuck lines. its to easy to bend the chassis that way.

would be funny to do though

for sale guys.

make a serious offer
