Thread: EAS wishlist? aftermarket design ideas

In addition to my comments/weird ideas of the link... you could add a panel of interlocked push-buttons to give you:-

L-R connection on each axle.

F-R connection on EACH side, either LEFT or RIGHT sides, or simply BOTH. This would imitate the ride of 2-tonne Morris 1500 or Austin 1800.

Crowning glory ... "X" linking each diagonal corner (Left-Front to Right- Rear etc) to keep the body more level when the axles are crossing...

Rather than a pickle-switch, a trigger for UP and a top-mounted button for DOWN would be intuitive.

Also, the now-redundant suspension height sensors could drive four vertical bar-graph LEDs.

I'd suggest either a bigger tank (or an additonal one) or bigger, or another compressor, 'cos you'll be playing with the air a LOT !

As a silent alternative, - and I have'nt investigated the logistics apart from price ($300 or so last year) - Use an aqualung tank... with a regulator to drop from 100,000/whatever psi down to 150. Some sand-drivers use them for Very Quick tyre re-inflation. Refilling was around $35 when last checked.

Valves are relatively cheap...

As Keithy said, linking side to side is ONLY for off-road at sensible speeds. Or lack or speed...

SCUBA tank 3-4000psi .. (about 80cubic feet of air from memory)

I was looking at the very auction item this morning!

ok so was going to start own post but its eas so why not....
Yesterday I discovered that if you press the inhibit switch then select the height you can select freeway height ........ Makes the car a more sporty feel round the city thats for sure lol. Was I the only person who didnt know about this brill feature ?

In short, yes!

It mentions this in the owners manual!

Hardy, the PO of my blue P38 did a cross-link setup on the EAS. He reckoned it was diabolical, even at low speeds, and removed it long before he sold the car to me in 2008.
I still have the switches on the dash but have re-purposed them to run the LED driving lights. The solenoids for cross-linking are long gone.

Cheers, Paul.

I'd like mine to work.

Would a fore and aft setup work better, like an electronic version of the Citroen 2CV setup?

A courageous project I'd think. Probably less dangerous than the side-to-side-see-saw-fall-over effect of L-R cross-linking. Would be amusing to watch taking speed humps at speed, or in most off-road situations.
