alright folks, back into novas these days,bought a c20xe one at the weekend,pretty much a track car

anyway
how do you fit electric power steering to a nova???and no im not a wimp,but might get into auto testing and would be a lot easier.
what do i need for conversion???

digital dash,not had time to look,but there are no lights coming on,you can see ever so slightly,but nothing major,so im guessing the bulbs are working???dont know really

cheers gav

use the corsa b column and epas controller kit. column needs a bit of modding to fit.
Digidash bulbs are a common problem. can you see the rev counter/speedo working at all?

is it quite simple to mod it?any guides any where?where is the best place to get the stuff?

no cant see any lights on the dash at all,but if you look very close they are all on,but just not bright
