Re: power steering?

Hi,

Can you not use EPS off Corsa B or C?
You can buy ECU off ebay as well as EPS.
I made one for my Mini with Swift Gti project using Corsa B and mk1 Gti top bit.

I think it cost me about £100 in total.

Re: LSD for volvo 360?

Sorry to bring back old thread but.....

I'm hoping to make a PG LSD copy.
This setup will be using std open diff and fit 2 blocks of steel with few springs between them.
My friend has ist in his Sprint car and works well. So when I get one made, I will let you know.
