I did a quick steering rack conversion using the pinion gear out of a mr s . Along with the geometry kit It just fits right into the sw20 power steering rack. Really cheap simple mod and takes the steering raito down by 30ish %. Don't know why more people don't talk about it I'm in the process of doing it to my own car this week. I bought the pinion for 100e Would a nice feature on the channel

All went relatively smoothly, thanks in part to the hours of knowledge you guys put out there. 👍 4.5 hours on my own, I had it on the floor. Really glad it is out now it has oil leaking out of everywhere. Can't even make out where 80% is coming from at the minute. I'm going back at it Thursday to start cleaning it up
