nice! garage looks kinda clean too. what gives?

um...air compressor, wanna paint my bumper? :lol:

you wont regret it :)

i got the same one youll def like it.. it does everthign you can think of! good luck with it

That one is on my short list. For a 60g, at that price that one is real nice. The is an 80g at Sam's that has my interest at the moment.

One of them is on my list of things to get after the new garage is built.

first thing i bought when i built my garage was a 60gallon comp....that and a 2 post lift

we tapped into the dryer line she still dont know 5 years and use a plug in the wall plug for the compressor at the house jz

wtf...theres walking room near that compressor...whose garage is it in? i know that aint yours!

Wow. Thats a great purchace. I hope to get a compressor of somekind soon.

haha yeah the garage is a little cleaner to make working on the SS a little easier. Oh, the compressor normally lists for around $430, but was on clearance for $240.35. I couldnt pass that deal up. I thought it was a clearance of the display model, but then they took down a brand new one off the top shelf.

Paul what store????

What model is that? The one I looked at there is $500:
MAX PSI: 135, TANK: 60G, STAGES: 1
SCFM: PSI/40: 15.0, PSI/90: 13.3
PUMP: CAST IRON, MOTOR RPM: 3450

its the model right below that i believe, you were looking at the HD model, which was for sale for $397

Mine is:
Max psi 135 Tank 60G, Stages 1
SCFM: 12.2 at 40psi, 10.8 at 90psi
Pump: cast iron

Matt, Lowes Home Improvement, but remember you need a 220v power line for it, It will not work with a normal 120v outlet.

Same here and the lift is awesome8)

yeah i have a 2 post lift as well, sitting in my other garage, i gotta look into the thickness of my current floor but most likely i'll have to cut and pour a thicker footing.

Their site is still showing full price. I might have to drop into the store again.

What Lowes was this at? I stopped at the one on Rt 1 in west windsor and there are no compressors on sale.

lol time for nascar pit practice swappin rims or just takin the same ones on and off?

its at the lowes in...um orangebrug ny

well, its now finally all installed, wired, and working. I just finished up wiring it at the main box this morning(i held off till i got back from my sis's wedding in detroit) I had ran the wiring and did all the connections in the garage last week. After talking to an electrician and a general contractor, i went with 8/2 wiring from the box to a single surface mount recepticle in the garage and then a section of 8/2 to the compressor itself. When i install my lift, i'll just run 8/2 from that to the outlet and use another plug. Since the lift will be used rarely, i'll just unplug the compressor when i need it. After it was all wired, i turned it on and it ran great, filled the 60gal tank to 135psi in under 10 min. and after fixing a few leaks in the lines I am now set. Later today or tomorrow, i'll change the valve springs on my motor, lol. heres a pic of it setup, now i just gotta clean up/setup around it....
