by looping the system? surely it's not possible?

Phil

I am not sure on looping but my experience on these small old cars are that they turn lighter without power steering.
Had an AE101/111 here by me with 17" wheels and 2E engine no power steering. Was turning lighter than any small old car with power steering I have driven.
If you want light steering then go for the type of system whatever is used in Renault Clio 3 1.5Dci
I personally really feel that these cars steer harder with power steering when parking.
High speed stability is a whole other thing though :p

Aye where the pipew cross I've slipped a rubber hose over so it doesn't cut there's a small bracket I made that's attached to where the underweather tray would bolt to which has moved the pipes out the way abit aswell as holding them secure. I've ran it like this for a few weeks now and theres no difference to driving than oem but gives a lot more space my air filter was struggling to find a home before
