looks good!is the epas coloumn and ecu alot heavier than the standard nova column?have you got an adjuster to determine how much assist there is?
bet you carnt wait to get it out for a blast up and down the lanes!:thumb:
Yeah can adjust how much assistance is needed, is fair bit heavier, should of weighed it, but its so easy to steer and steering wheel is in a better position now, i would recomend it.
Car will be used for rallying indeed, few bits needing to do still, and cant decide what to do engine wise but just want to get it out. I had been finding it hard to get inspiration to finish the thing off but just had one last go at it and seemed to get quite far lol. Just wear gloves!
Done anything else to it now? Whens your first rally?
looking good mate..
what events are you planning on doing?
Great... a Nova being used in the correct way :D !!
Good luck with it.
Not alot changed on this apart from things going backwards??? Had to move workshops, and while driving the car to new workshop, there was a clunk coming from gearbox, gearbox started leaking, steering was washy, engine ran like a dog, and so on and so on, so only just really managed to get time to look at the car tonight and pics will say all i think.
We have gone from it looking like this....
