XE with PAS! YES or NO

[sparkie1401]

currently unsure whether or not to fit PAS to my nova XE

i would be using a Corsa B EPS set up

my XE has standard steering rack and standard F20 G/box

car is an every day car, normal driving but my yearly mileage is peanuts as im away with work alot!

i do however like modern gizmos

please vote and put your simple factual reasons for or against PAS

thats is all and Moooocho grassy asslol

Depends what you using it for? If everyday drive, i would. But then again theres no point stripping all the interior, then fitting PAS surely?

im hoping to fit epas behind the standard dash, dont think it going to work though :(

Martin keolson fitted his mk2 dash ok,just had to move the fuse box accross abit

aslo will the igition key line up to nova steering cowling

Corsa's with EPAS have different fuse box, so it will be tight in a nova.

Your need to buy a bit from ebay that will let you control it (Your have to set it high when parking etc, and low on the move).

Im doing the conversion on my cars when i can be botherd.

Edit: The key should line up ok (Your want the nova one of course, it will fit as my old corsa SRi had a nova one)

hi have asked these question before mate but people as always say do i search. so they want you to trawl through a 100 pages of **** waffling on about complete bull**** just to find out what they already no !!!

[AlexW]

It has been coverd a fair few times though

[Edd]

yes, BUT wiring in so the ecu has a speed pulse NOT with adjuster knob type thingy that you can get.

Hi

I have fitted Corsa EPAS on my Nova & i has been in now for about 4yrs with to date no hasstle.
Personally i drove std Nova XE for years without PAS & wasnt until i fitted a QuickRack & LSD i fealt the need for PAS, so i would say std XE no real need.

If anyone is 'serious' about fitting PAS i will always assist where i can with any questions via e-mail.

I voted yes, my reason being that i think its cool to update older cars, making them easier to drive, and therefore allowing you to use them more :)

However i dont agree with the company that update E-types, thats a no no!

^^^ wot he said, if you have a quickrack and good power that results in torque steer then aye fill yer boots if not then theres not much point.

cheers guys

reason im a little unsure is ive never driven an XE before, so i may want to upgrade to a Quafe diff and quick rack etc

and i am a fan of making old modern etc

id put crumple zones, airbags and abs if i could lol
