Completely agree Simon. The wank tone was well set by the second post of the thread! Of course it's always hard to beat someone that takes every opportunity to tell everyone about their Super Dooper Sprinter... Everyone really did need to know that your car has no radio and is held together with cable ties! I'm sure myself and others are very happy for you that you learnt how to drive a car sideways. Now perhaps you can go and play with the trucks on the highway and leave a potentially informative discussion to the grown ups! On to the point. I doubt that I will follow through with the PS conversion but I have driven recently a sprinter that was well setup with PS and it actually was hard to tell that it was assisted. I've driven standard setups that felt way too assisted. Having spoken to a couple of experienced guys with well setup PS and powerful Sprinters, they wouldn't go back to unassisted. I can understand why some might want PS, my previous Sprinter had maximum caster dialed in and had very heavy steering a low speeds. Never a problem for me but a couple of girls that drove the car had big problems manoevering the car. The fact that Toyota included PS for some Sprinters suggests Toyota felt it would be required by some. All cars with PS (even F1 cars) have something in common. The amount of caster used can affect feel with PS as with the amount of grip the tyres have. The degree of PS assistance can affect steering feel as well, one potential mod to lessen assistance is to drop the PS pump relief valve opening pressure. There may be other mods as well, hopefully we will hear more from some of the guys that have PS and maybe help GTStar out some more. Good on you GTStar, if you need more advice try the Perth AE86 board, we're lucky not to have the level of knob tweaking demonstrated here so regularly. [Report message to a moderator]
