I have been running Motons for the last six months and truly love the improved corning ability, lower stance, and much improved ride. This is the way the car should have come from the factory.
I have taken the car to several track events and love the adjustability of the Club Sport setup. One thing I noticed however is there is no quick and easy solution to adjust the nitrogen pressure in the canisters. By doing so, you are, in effect, increasing or decreasing the spring rate which lets you dial in the ride depending on your desired ride characteristics, the roads in your area and/or to tune the suspension at the track. In addition I have found that the Motons tend to bleed nitrogen over time which requires checking and adjusting the pressure every so often.
To my surprise it is not easy at all to check and adjust the nitrogen pressure in the canisters. In fact after doing my research, the parts are extremely difficult to come by. In order to adjust the pressure you first need a special valve to connect to the Motons to pressurize them without losing pressure upon removal. You also need a high pressure regulator and gauge to fine tune the pressure to your liking. Finally and by far the most difficult to find, is a small, portable high pressure storage tank to hold the nitrogen. I did manage to purchase a valve from Moton thinking I was on the right track which was $120 alone. In the end, it was only a small piece of the puzzle.
With that said, I went on a quest to find a readily accessible and portable solution to adjusting the nitrogen pressure when at the track or simply to maintain proper pressure in the canisters. After several months of searching I found a company called Powertank which specializes in 02 stored air systems for off-road, 4x4 vehicles. Powertank was able to build a portable NO2 system with all the required valves, gauges and tank which solves the adjustability issue and, at the same time, is completely portable.
The entire system fits into a 19x15x6 hard case case and contains:
· High Pressure Portable Nitrogen Tank
· High Pressure adjustable regulator with tank and regulator Gauges
· Shock Inflation Valve and Gauge
· All high pressure braided hoses
· Tank filler tool
· Required wrench for quick assembly and disassembly
· Carrying case with foam insert
· Shoulder Strap
The complete kit is made from the best parts available. The tank is capable of holding 7,000 lbs of pressure and the regulator gives you the flexibility to adjust the pressure in the canisters up to 300lbs. The process is simple and only takes a few moments. You simply dial in the high pressure regulator to desired pressure and attach to the schrader valve on the Motons via the special adjustment valve. The tank holds enough pressure to adjust all four shocks 20 times and is easily filled at your local plumbing supply store or suspension shop.
It is the only truly portable kit available in the market.
Since I know there are others who would like truly portable pressure adjustability, this kit will be available to others who are interested. We are working on pricing now but need to get a sense of interest prior to releasing final prices.
Your feedback and comments are appreciated.
