Could anybody enlighten me about fitting power steering to my Rs?i understand its possible to use a vauxhall electric system?what would I need?and is it a job I could do?

 

There are complete kits available on ebay.

 

I've seen those on eBay,just wondered if it's a job for a novice mechanic or best left to the experts!

 

Or just man up, the steering weighs nothing on these cars

 

It's for my wife to drive clever bollocks!

 

Wow, you can clearly take a joke well

 

Lol!i take it your not a lover of power steering then?im not a fan but the wife is.it would be a shame if she didn't drive it because of that,after the time,effort and money gone in to it

 

I've got it on mine, if you don't like then you turn it off

 

What did you use then mate?

 

The kit from ebay, uses a corsa setup

 

Fitted it to my MK2 rally car and it was quite easy. It involved cutting the shafts and welding them together. Wiring was a bit complicated but sussed it in the end. We wired the feed through a switch so it could be turned on or off

 

thanks for your help!!much apreciated

 

i still think she should 'man up' my miss is 4' 9", size 8-10 and she drives my rs easy from Birmingham to newark and all around town with no issues although she doesn't like the slow manoeuvring she copes lol

 

i tried telling her that,but she threatend to make me wear my bollocks as earings........

 

If you can find one fit a Quaife quick rack at the same time, sharpen the steering up nicely!

 

That's what I did

 

Found the kits for £299 for everything, wonder how much it would costs to have fitted by someone in the know???

 

Yeah I found them for that price as well,I dont think my basic mechanic skills would run to fitting it!

 

At a very rough guess a couple of hundred pounds for a reasonably priced mechanic/tuner, looks like a days work with dash out etc.

 

I've seen an ad on eBay from a fi who supply and fit for 500 quid.anybody used these guys?

 

Haven't seen that, but that what Karlos said £299 for the kit and about £200 for fitting.

 

It does sound about right.ill have a chat with my mechanic mate and see what he reckons.
