      I guess the experience is good, but its still sucks some times lol.

      Pressurizing the pressure tank to 5 bar (Hawaiian punch bottle lol) and then running that into a pressure regulator that drops it down to 2-2.5 bar.

      Have ran it for a solid 10 minutes with the tank at only 40 psi and had no issues, so I imagine it will run quite a long time!

      And no you don't want to build one lol, these things are expensive!

      But we get all of our money from sponsors that we go out and contact, Miller (welding) is a big one!

        I didn't know a Hawaiian punch bottle could hold that much pressure

          Hawaiian punch, and 2liter bottles of soda can handle quite a bit of pressure.. It's quite amazing.

            Interesting note, tea bottles (gallon ones) will blow out at about 60 psi! 

            That was loud as hell lol

                2)Install said motor

                3)?????????

                4)Profit

                .

                .

                .

                5)spend profits on more rear tires.

                      I broke a car wash with the BMW today. First time going, also the last, because they banned me.

                        I just avoid car washes now.  When I first got the car at stock ride height, there were a few that wouldn't let me in.

                          I destroyed the motor that pulls the car down the line. It legit came to a grinding halt. Had to drive it out, over the little arm pulls/ guide rail. Welded diff for the save!

                              How in the world did you manage that. I don't get how a car wash is breakable

                                    Ha so you mean to tell me that your car was to low for the car wash and destroyed the whole right side or the machine?

                                    You should go back to the car wash and if they don't let you get a car was tel they are bring unreasonable and a little raciest.

                                          No, I broke the entire thing, I'm assuming I broke gear teeth on the motor, or the motor itself burned out.
