I went to Jennvy Paul when I was on the look out for a filter as they are literally 2 miles away from my house we tried fitting the piperX back plate and it was hitting the pas pump so I do think to get a perfect fit with a mushroom filter would be to relocate / elec pas pump. Or individual sockes but they have a history of getting sucked in as I've heard of Numorous people lol.

I'll see how the ITG backplates fit because you can buy blanks that need drilling. I reckon I can offset one to the right which will give enough space - just!

I normally start a new topic each time the car has its birthday..well I'm not going to this year - simple because it isn't even sat on wheels.
As the Bilsteins were so rusty I decided to give the whole car a strip down. The passenger damper wasn't quite as bad as the drivers side but it's hardly brilliant.
The front springs were rusty where the coils were in contact with the damper and top spring seat. I'm undecided whether to sand the corrosion down and get them shot blasted and powder coated or I might just buy some new H&R springs to see what they are like. Motorsportworld want £90 for some Eibach Pro Kit spring and £116 for some H&R.
I'm sure the Eibachs are worth £30 to somebody.
While the car is up in the air I thought I'd get the silver Hammerite on the arches. Most of what you see is covered by the arch liners but it certainly looks a bit better than it did before. They were hardly dirty but ever little bit helps.
The wooden battens are there to stop the hubs rotating and falling off the axle stands while the dampers are removed. Next job is to remove the front subframe and get the exhaust and manifold off. I want to get the manifold as shiny as it was before it was fitted. Being stainless it should still be possible but it's too tight to polish it on the car. Then the subframe will be cleaned up (again hardly bad as it is) and put back in place with all new nuts and bolts.

If you fit a vauxhall astra P/S pump the backplate will fit mate

If I was to go electric PAS I'd go for a PSA pump. They tend to be quite expensive though. I suppose the Vauxhall pumps might be in more plentiful supply.
Did some more dismantling today. Subframe had to come off because I want it respraying or maybe powder coating. That also give access to the exhaust manifold so it can be removed to get it polished.
This lot can be replaced.
This just wants cleaning up and respraying. Is it worth the expense of getting it powder coated though? Bearing in mind it sits under the car and is used to jack the car up at times.

You say the springs were corroded where they sit on the cup , i know my eibachs have got rubber sleaves that go around 1 and 1/2 coils . Maybe that could be somthing you could do to stop the next ones rusting?

Currently I removed my belt powered PAS pump completely. 4 month ago I bought 307 steering pump and I go to local shot for custom pipes. All of them is completed. Just I cant be sure where can I locate pump. I changed oil housing with Clio one for vertical mount of behind of fog light.
I'm considerin about Corsa C complete EPAS. This system dont need pipes and pumps. But I dont like idea about puting non Peugeot-Citroen parts to my car.

Manifold is off now, just to polish it!
Manifold now polished with Autosol. Still clean enough but not quite as shiny as it was when brand new.
Manifold when new.
