Sorry for the spam but difference between EPAS and Craigs system is?
A vid would be awesome Craig especially with 2 turns lock to lock.
As ghay as it sounds my biggest bug bear of PV was not catching up with you.
Glad you're nearly there, will have to pop down so I can be taken out for a test drive :D
:thumb:
Ahh I'm flattered mate. I'm a bit of an anti-climax in real life though.... lolQuote:

My PAS system is a typical hydraulic (wet) system. Pump, pipes, fluid & hydraulic ram (rack).
Get yourself to the PNG national weekend & I'll take you for a spin in the 'small block of goodness'!
Good to hear the steering system is working spot on.
Do you have the emissions printout from the mot? what exatly did it fail on? CO?
the main things i like with the epas collum is the fact you dont have to modify any racks or anything, just fit a quickrack at some point. the other thing is no doubt the epas system would be a little lighter (not by much tho) and the fact you can adjust the amount of assist you get. so for yor adevnturous driving i woudl turn the assist off and parking turn it to max assist.
each system prob has its own pros and cons tho..
hoe does the engine sound craig? used to love the sound of it on idle :D whats your thought on the engine so far compared to your previous 8v turbo's ect?
Your not at all Craig.. It was the highlight of my day meeting up with you... :pQuote:

EPAS or wet system... I had no preference. I saw Mark Beesons & liked it + I'd heard it was doable for years anyway. The rack came up cheap & I also found a pump cheaper than anyone has ever bought one for I expect...
The steering feel is nice, not light but ideal at slow speeds. Just what you'd expect from a GM rack tbh. I love the feel from a mk2 Astra GTE 16v system & its much the same tbh.
CK, the engine sounds pretty gorgeous tbh. Bit lumpy on tickover but it pulls like a train from low down. Its got minimal traction on my un-tracked car currently. The emmissions failed on fast idle, Needs a CTS I hope, at worst a Lambda.
Vids to come after weekend I expect.
Ha Ha!! You love it!! When you bringing the nova up for a drive out and to have a few beers again fella? Get the nova ready for a Ring trip in august... ;)Quote:

Think I need a beach holiday before a ring trip though.... Getting stressed, doctor has told me I need a break.
DAMN! I forgot I had this!
