Interesting but my i dont see that it's going to come out with electronic compressor in short 5 years........... It's will be easy to damage than conventional turbo and it's not gonna surpass turbo's superiority..........

Totally agree, i had been planning to make one that boost a small amount of air into the intake, not compress air, but doesn't seem to have a small,strong and durable fan that could do the work. the problem is the small motor.

What are the signs that the absorber/ spring is spoilt? Recently I've noticed some bodyroll on my car which wasn't there before. Ride smoothness is also pretty "springy" (for lack of a better word). Are these telltale signs of it going out of order? I just wanna know more before I actually take the tyres off to test the shocks.

...well...to sum up...its the shock absrbr problem....bcoz it dont function properly..in other words, ..no feedback from the shock absrbr..............actually the only problem was only at the front (both left n right)....but i end up replace all of it bcoz the devil inside me still young at that time..........oh...and i end-up buying springs as well.........
...or maybe others have diff views or experience rgdrng dis matter....
...diff people diff cases...

Haha don't worry, if my shocks are gone (don't jinx me Kean) I'll definitely consider your Teins.
So anyway, are those signs of it going kaput?

1)Park your car on a level place and see if body height is same.....
2)Press your fender above the suspension and see whether there're different with each other.....
3)Oftenly the oil will be noticed around the shocks......
4)Send it to a suspension specialise to test the damping force.....
5)When everything else are done but doesnt work well, drift it to see whether it's easy to buang or do a 180km see whether it's stable..... hhehehe
PS: Action no.5 is only to perform by experts, daredevils or nuts....... Any sort of accidents, damages or injuries will be beared by the driver itself.......
