EPS or not to EPS
All.
Some of you might know my progress so far.. if you don't here is a link
My Previous Post
I have been on and off my car for a few years now, I brought it built and wanted to do something that interest me, Over the last few years (Took a lot
longer then expected due to life and wedding and that) I have ripped out most of my electronics and re-wired my vehicle.
The vehicle is on a CANbus, which allowed monitoring of any signal you want and graphing the results. This will allow a lap in the car to be
monitored, seeing when and where the brake is pressed, the clutch, angle of steering wheel, speed and RPM on a corner, etc.... You can see where
I'm going with this!!!
Well, I fitted an EPS to my Tiger and was going to see if it was something I would like to market... I have a lot of interest in EPS and understand
them a fair bit. I fit them to F1 Boat Racing with a real success.

I would like to see people opinion and see if anyone would like to fit it in to there vehicle at Cost. The Cost to me is around £100 to supply the
EPS and Electronics. My issue is that every person who builds there car picks the speed up in a different manner, causing either a configuration
option to be used or a communication to the customer and the software written specific.
Just throwing the conversation out there to see anyone's interest.

Yes. An electric power steering system that can be tuned if required.

I may be wrong, but I think people like the lack of power steering (unless injured or struggle for some reason) because of the increased feedback and
precise feel. I can't imagine anyone wanting to add weight and complexity to lose feel. Once moving at more than a mile an hour or two
there's really no need for power steering, even on most tin-tops.

I think more modern eps sytems are offering better feedback these days. However going between my 2 clios (2004 182 with hydraulic and 2007 197 with
EPS) the 182 feels so much more positive and more connected. I wouldnt be bothered with eps on a fast road/track oriented kit, so unless its heavy or
a car used for more relaxing or day to day driving cant see uptake being hugely positive.
