New Products - Just In Time For Show Season!

Show season is underway, but if you're like us there's always SOMETHING that still needs to be done to your ride!

Fortunately for us, some of the biggest names in the industry are dropping new products to keep you looking and performing better than the competition!

Click HERE to check out the NEW Viair 485C!

First off, Viair just dropped their new Gen2 air compressor: the 485C.  

Better performance, higher duty cycle, quieter and cooler operation- all in the same footprint of the older 444 and 480 models!

These compressors are available in a Platinum or Stealth Black finish, and are in stock and shipping now!

Click HERE to check out the NEW Accuair VX4!

Accuair showed off their new VX4 manifold valve at SEMA last year, and now it's in stock and available!

I made a quick YouTube video last month showing off some of the new features on this valve, so I won't make you read that again here.  The big news is that these are ready to ship now!

Click HERE to check out our selection of FLO Airride tanks!

Finally, FLO Airride tanks are in full production, and we've got several sizes and styles in stock and ready to ship!  These tanks feature a modular billet design with adjustable mounting brackets and plenty of ports to work with your installation.

Of course, we're still going to carry all of the same parts we have in the past, but if you're the type that has to have the latest and greatest, we've got you covered! Visit us at www.twistedimages.com to see these and all of our other products!

See you at the next show!

Greg's Mini Cooper JCW - Everything Looks Better On Bags!

If you've never driven a 1st or 2nd generation Mini Cooper S or John Cooper Works edition, you're missing out.  These cars come from the factory with a bunch of power, a manual transmission with an excellent feel, capable brakes, and a stiff chassis that inspires confidence when you chuck it into a corner.  They've gotten pretty affordable, too- low mileage R56 Cooper S models can be had for under $10k!

As fun as they are, though, there's one thing about them that keeps them from being a perfect daily-driver.  The ride is just too stiff!  Drive one for a day, especially if it's still on run-flat tires, and you'll be sore the next day!

Our customer Greg brought his John Cooper Works model to us with this exact complaint- the car was super fun to drive, but it usually sat in the garage in favor of more comfortable cars for day-to-day use.  Fortunately for him, Air Lift Performance has front and rear strut kits that essentially bolt right in, and the difference in comfort is unbelievable.

We installed the Air Lift front and rear struts, along with their 3P pressure-based digital management system, and rounded out the air suspension with a powder coated Seamless aluminum tank and dual Viair 480C air compressors.  Everything fits neatly in the hatch - he didn't need to carry anything back there, anyway!

Greg's Mini isn't all show and no go- he's got a bunch of aftermarket parts on that little engine to back up the looks!  A larger turbo and intercooler, cold air intake, heat shield, and front and rear strut braces and sway bars make this little car a rocket!  The stock John Cooper Works brakes work perfectly in conjunction with the 18" Volk Racing wheels and sticky tires.  Overall, he's built a car that's eager to dive into any corner, but is still tame enough to take out for a calm drive around town.

If we've convinced you to go out and grab a Mini Cooper of your own, be sure to contact us to help you sort out the suspension!  Visit www.twistedimages.com and check out all of the options we have, and feel free to message us directly with any questions!
