Hey guys!

Yes, i've a lot of pics to share, i'll do my best. thumb

The tank included electric pump (106 / saxo PH2) draw 50A-60A on full steering lock.
Results found on technical sheets, not measured myself.

My 60amp fuse does not burn yet, so it sound true. ;-)

Kevin, the pictures aren't working as they are linked to the French coupe forum which some of us aren't a member off. If you can host them in photobucket.com everyone will be able to see them.

Hey Kevin. Nice project. Would you like me to make you a fixing bracket for that rear water bottle? laugh Or maybe just some drying towels? tongue

Where have you bought your tyres from please? And how much? MP me if you want.

Hey Jo'! bye

I've met Joseph at the Val de Vienne Circuit. Such a nice guy with a nice car!

After the "race", we found some liquid under the car. I was a little bit stressed by that (coolant or oil leak!!!???), but it came from the trunk!
It was my wiper tank set on the rear which was away! Just tested it on the road, not on the track! smash

There is the anecdote... biglaugh

My tires are from 123pneus.fr (84 euros shipped each).
But my advise for you is to wait than i test them (Italegends @ Ales on June) cause i don't now if these are good or not.

Impossible to had an opinion with forums, some says it's crap, other they're very good, comparable to the toyo's 888. Only thing i now, it's the price, half less than the 888.
So if they do the job with my little level on track, i'll be happy.

I will see and report! wink

That's a really nice modification. Have you had any problems since the installation?

Thanks Szkom! No problem, no leak or anything : the feeling is really good, very constant, maybe better than the original mount.(for the electric steering).

No problem with the new alternator mount too. But a pain in the ... to make this mod. smash biglaugh

Hi, very nice job with steering smile
I was going do the same job with toyota mr2 pump, but when I see this I change my plans laugh It is much easier to find a saxo steering pump than mr2 here in croatia smile

Do you have pics what did you do to mount alternator? smile

thanks smile

Today I've bought a saxo pump for 15 euros LOL laugh laugh laugh
Once again thanks for an idea laugh

Which belt do you use for an alternator?
You manufactured a custom pulley, why didn't you use original? Does the diameter of pulley matter?

You've done a grat deal for the pump! Have you the bracket fitted on it?

I can't read on the belt but i think it's a 4pk1048 (i've tried several belts).

The alternator pulley is original.
The loose pulley is from a Porsche 944 ( INA - Réf : 532 0043 10 ) but i use the original adjustable tensionner (part where the pulley fit) a bit modified and bolt differently on the engine bracket.

The alternator tensionner come from a 944 too. smash biglaugh
