I need to get some sort of power assist for my steering, especially with the 1:5.1 quickner. Everyone I talked with said that the Toyota MR2 has such a unit that is electric but connects to the steering unit and forces hydraulic oil in the steering rack to lessen input. Anyone ever put one of these units in their race car? |

Pretty sure you have to use an MR2 rack (probably any PS rack actually). There's nothing in the stock rack. It's just a couple gears with seals on the end of the tube to hold the grease in.
This would mean some serious hacking, cutting, welding. Since you're doing less turning, would a larger steering wheel be an option? |
