I run some really soft hillclimb tyres for 3 season and done Donington on full blown slicks and I've never had an issue with my EPAS it's always worked faultlessly.
If the motor is getting hot it might point to it being shagged.

HI Joe
Bit of thread resurrection, I don't suppose you send me have a copy of all the diagrams, or at the very least tell which pin out on the back of the clocks is for the Speedo input?
Cheers Rich
The two main guys that left Leda, one went to Gaz and Gaz Golds are basically Leda copies and the other guy setup Black Art Designs.
I'm sure Gaz would service a set of Leda no worries.

There are two options:
Standard Seat, Standard 3 Point Seatbelt and OEM Airbags (Wear whatever you feel comfortable in no flip flops thou)
Full FIA/MSUK Spec Cage, Full wrap around seat (e.g. Cobra Sebring or similar) 6 point harness mounted correctly to floor and cage, in date Snell rated...
With a Yaw control input you need a very expensive sensor I'd imagine and the feedback loop would have to be mega, say you got yourself in a tank slapper of slide and the constant back and fore on the wheel at speed while it pitches and rolls could do assorts of strange things lol
Maybe try and...
I had a word with Alex at AS20 and he said with the correct loom made between the DCi steering sensor and the EPAS motor control the DTA could easily control the assist on the motor you could build a completely custom map or just have a standard setup where you get more assist with more steering...
The DCi rack also has a steering angle sensor built into it, be interesting to see if an aftermarket ECU could control the assist on the motor for you.
I have a DTA S100 Pro, I'll ask Alex Chard (DTA Owner) at the Autosport Show on Friday if it can be done with a DTA?

So looking at that it appears the signal from the sensor can be feed directly to the clocks rather than be decoded by the ECU before sent on, which is ideal.
I can make up a dedicated loom just for the Speedo drive to feed the clocks.
Rich
I drove an EPAS converted Clio to see what it was like and as most people have said it didn't feel right the feedback was abit vague and you didn't get the feeling the steering wheel was really controlling the front wheels lol
But I knew I was just going to have to suck as had no choice but to...
Interesting! So you can use non Sport rear Mk3 calipers and discs on a Mk2 is this a straight bolt on modification?
It's not for extra rear braking but another reason which I'm not going to allude to just yet lol
Rich
Am I right in thinking the 3 pin Ph1 Speedo drive is just live, earth and signal?
Can you just live and earth the correct wires up and then feed the signal wire straight to the correct pin out on the dashboard clocks or does it need to go through the ECU first?
Cheers Rich
How I set my car up, generally upsets most people as they think it turns it into an oversteer machine (which it doesn't btw lol)
I run 650lb front springs and 850lb rears also with a RARB.
2.5 Neg camber front and 2.0 Neg camber rear
2mm Toe out overall front and standard toe at the rear (no toe...
I've only had one failure of a Valeo clutch and that was spring on the cover plating coming off and putting two holes in the bell housing.
So on a personal experience I'd want an uprated cover plate rather than an uprated friction plate.

Anyone know the dimensions for PMS Top Mount Bearings?

I'd give them a ring but they are on holiday all next week.
