VIP Style M45 Drifting!

Hello again friends!

So, I know it’s been months since I’ve dumped new content up here, sorry! Please bear with me, I’m busy with cars, work, life, etc.  More top quality “Toku-Joh” grade VIP pics and movies coming soon… I promise!

Here’s some crossover VIP/Drift  filler for you guys enjoying the best of both worlds… A VIP Style Infinity M45 burning it at the last VegasDrift.net event in Primm, NV (photos courtesy of Wrecked Magazine)! A rare site, indeed! Sacrelig or completely gangster?? You decide.

I’ve seen the car in person several times — “baller status” doesn’t do it justice. Unfortunately, the only specs I have for you are that it’s on coilovers and 19 9/10 staggered Work Varianzza DS3’s.  Enjoy, and stay tuned! If you’re in Cali, Arizona or Nevada be sure to check out the next VegasDrift event on Feb 22nd!

Univeral Air Suspension install write up

Ever wonder what would be required to install a UAS air suspension setup on your LS400? Thanks to this nice photo writeup by eight08Customs on the Vip Style Cars forum, now you’ll have a better idea! I’ve left some steps and tips out, so be sure to check out the entire thread before you jump into this project.

Also worth noting are that some strut bodies are pressurized with nitrogen, you’ll need a competent welder to tackle this job!

Since we all love fabrication pictures:

Start with stock or aftermarket struts

Remove or grind the collar off

Remove the spring perch with a grinder

Remove/grind down any other collars to slip the tube on the strut body

Prefit everything before tack welding

Have your welder MIG weld the sleeve to the strut body (over the old weld)

There you have it. Complete this process for the remaining three struts, then plumb your lines, manifold, switches, electronics, compressor and tanks… And you’re riding on air! Be sure to check out the entire thread on VIP Style Cars for many more tips and tricks that I’ve left out of this recap. Good luck!
