[DiY] Trunk Auto Pop-up

Sorry but today I dont have enought time to translate the entire DiY but tomorow I will do it.
__________________________________________________ _____________

Viva pessoal,

Atenção: Não me responsabilizo por qualquer dano material ou dano próprio. Irão trabalhar com forças elásticas o que poderá magoar. Para remover a barra de torção usem luvas.

Venho por este meio, dar-vos em exclusivo esta alteração bastante útil.
Para começar iremos precisar de algum material

- 1 Amortecedor
- 2 Parafusos 6mm
- 2 Anilhas 6mm
- 2 Porcas 6mm
- 2 Ponteiras com esfera
- 2 Anilhas 5mm
- 1 Porca 5mm
- 1 Cravo com rosca interior (esta peça foi feita em casa pelo que não sei onde comprar)

Outra ferramenta necessária

- Brebrequim
- Broca 6mm
- Chaves de bocas
- Alicate
- Martelo (com orelhas :p )
- Outra que achem necessária



Após terem toda a aparelhagem reunida, começem por retirar as forras da mala



Depois no banco trazeiro retirem o apoio do lado do condutor. Existe um parafuso debaixo do acento que liberta o apoio, para isso evantem o acento nos pontos E e depois o parafuso A encontra-se mais ou menos na localização da seta azul. Retirem-no e depois é só puxar o apoio em direcção ao oculo trazeiro.




Depois temos que retirar uma das barras de torção, estas barras estão colocadas para auxiliar o levantar da mala pois esta é bastante pesada. A foto que tem o martelo é apenas como exemplo de como retirar o ferro. Tem que remover o do lado do passageiro.



Tem que se remover a barra que está no lado direito (Barra A)

Aqui foi onde pequei, pois não retirei fotos durante o processo mas pela foto conseguem ter ideia do que fazer. Este serviço é todo feito do lado do condutor.
Marquem 2 ou os 4 furos da chapa (uma das peças incluidas) e furem a 6mm depois é só apertar a chapa. De seguida apertem uma das esferas na chapa. No braço que segura a mala, onde era o buraco do ferro de torção apertem a outra esfera e usem o cravo.
Depois é só encaixar o amortecedor nas esferas de devem obter algo como isto.



Final de tudo montado:

Para isto gastei 4dias à procura de onde comprar amortecedores depois mais 3 dias a experimentar amortecedores, se havia de usar nenhuma, uma ou as duas barras de torção... ou seja feitas as contas foi muito tempo perdido mas no final ficou bom e util.
Util porque caso venhamos carregados não temos que poisar tudo para abrir a mala, ou para levanta-la.
Feitas as contas ao material todo, dá cerca de 38.85€ tudo... Ainda tive desconto porque a casa que vendia o amortecedor era onde um amigo trabalhava. Só o amortecedor é 35€ mais as ponteiras e as esferas dava 45€.. fora a ferragem(parafusos, anilhas e porcas) e a gasolina gasta à procura do material.

Quem quiser eu posso enviar o material todo certinho. Só tem que chegar e montar. Ao preço ( 39€) dito a cima acrescem os portes.

Abraços e qualquer duvida é sé perguntar

On the same note, as I've noted numerous times before, we usually don't have to wait too long for someone to prove once again that this forum is at least in part populated by a bunch of guys with way too much time on their hands.

The translation is : If you dont like, just dont reply... If it's a waste of time, the time you spend on the reply it's time wasted in a worst way. By the way if you dont have much time on your hands you just simply read/watch and ignore.

I understand your way, it's not a JDM bling bling mod. I didn't spend a thousand bucks on this mod so this is shit...

Point taken, but as a newbie, let me suggest you try to keep a sense of humor nearby. We're just messing with you..... Things like this almost invite some kind of snide remark; some of us can't help it.

Sense of humor? I'm plenty of it.

I just don't think this isn't a waste of time...
Imagine if you have a litle baby, with 8days. You chase your car with your hands full of stuff and you have your key in one. You can just press the button and the trunk pop-up or without it you have to throw down all the stuff open the trunk and then put the stuff in this...
If you try like me open the trunk with the stuff in your hands you may scratch the bumper...


Sorry by my bad English but..

I like the idea, its very practical that the trunk now opens fully.

Care to translate the write up? thanks.

I agree, I also see this being very practical and useful. There are a ton of other ways to waste more time and more money on far more frivolous things, that are spelled out in great detail, and gushed over, on this site than this.
