The system uses sensors to constantly monitor the height of the car based on the selected setting and automatically increases or decreases the air pressure to the bags based on the weight in the car in order to maintain its correct height. No manual adjustment is ever needed unless you choose to do so. If you park the car then "air out" the car will automatically return to ride height once you restart the car.

              If you mean the Hayashi Techno Rs, which are essentially the same design before being called HRE, they are for sale. 4k with tires, shipped within the US.

                            All that money spent on body and interior and your still running an M20? WHY not a m30?

                              As I'm sure you know, the Super ETA M20 is a popular platform for forced induction. When I did the EtoI conversion it was with the thought process that I would one day turbo the motor. I've been very pleased with the results of the conversion & am at the point with the car that it's either forced induction or a full motor swap to maybe an s52 or something more untraditional.

                              However reality sets in as to how much any of these routes would cost because I would do a full bay shave & wire tuck if I were going to do it. I just don't know that I want to spend that much more on the car versus moving on to another project hence the sale. If the car doesn't sell, I most likely will move forward in one of the directions above but again I just haven't fully settled on that.

                              As a side note, a great deal has also been invested into a lot of the time consuming maintenance items that are associated with these cars. While some here have balked at the price & told me the car is worth 5k tops, I counter with I beg you to find a car minus all the mods but with all the maintenance I've done for 5k, it's just not going to happen. You can however get into a beaten albeit running E28 for 3-5k and spend your own 20-25 to get it to where this mine is for a fraction of the price.
