Ok I apoligize if someone's already covered this.
I am going to use a subie and it has a pwr steering pump so I was wondering if Any one knows what pwr steering rack might fit easily in the 914, maybe a later porsche or even a domestic small car. I am going to try to use 8x18 wheels on the front and I thought it might be easier to handle at slow speeds with pwr steering. Just steer me to a link and I will do the studying, Thanks Charliew |

QUOTE(SGB @ Mar 5 2008, 06:57 PM)  He can paint what he wants to. Its his canvas... true, but part of asking is getting other feedback and I agree with others... for an 8" wide wheel I can't imagine why you would need PS other that shear creature comfort. Now, with 10" wide front SLICKS on my race car (and same with the BPR guys), my shoulders are stiff and sore after a track day of hitting corner after corner as fast as possible, which is not what you encounter on the street. I have considered trying to add an aftermarket PS rack and then drive a pump off the transaxle but my motivation isn't quite there yet. The real issue will be getting a rack that doesn't have crazy bump steer due to rod end pivots being too wide or narrow, getting it to mount in the location the stock rack does, then figuring out how to drive a pump (some have considered the electric pumps). It will take more effort to do all that than the effort to turn the wheel. |
