Maybe use the acronym EPS or EPAS (electric power assisted steering). You never know...

Just buy a new Mustang if you want electronic steering. Manual steering is for real men.

Manual steering if for drag racing, Real men use their car for more than that.

I just did a Volvo electric power steering setup on my fourth gen, I’m loving it. $90 for the pump and $60 for a custom made pressure hose, had the wiring stuff laying around. I recommend it for sure

I looked into eps once put decided to skip it. With the belt set up on a fcar it's pretty easy to bypass the ps and only run the alt once you have a ewp.


Darth has huge gonads with hair *** thick *** a gorilla on them for dd no ps.

Has he commented on the return to center characteristics of the MicroSteer?

I don't have first experience with the MicroSteer. I was hoping to hear that it has good return to center, because my Toyota Prius steering doesn't have great return to center. I do have it integrated with my Holley Dominator ECU to make it automatically speed sensitive.
