Electric Power Steering Conversion | Subaru Track Car

The time has finally come to ditch the manual steering in the Tireside racecar. In this video we take this electric power steering column and motor from a Saturn Vue and adapt it to our 400hp STI swapped Subaru Impreza.

Our last autocross session up at evergreen speedway showed just how difficult the manual steering could be on a very tight and technical course, so it's time to put some power to it.

This was not an easy project, and we will say do it at your own risk and be confident in your fabrication skills.
The good news there may be a conversion kit out there for your car so search around!
