MR2 electric power steering rack, In a 914? Options

[Randal]

Anyone ever try installing one in a 914?

What I know about the racks is that the early versions are full time on, while the newer versions are only activated when you turn the wheel.

Also know that the units draw a huge amount of amps, so a negative. Like 35A when turning the wheel

All help appreciated.

Running slicks in the front makes the car hard to turn. On a track day you'd hardly notice, but in an autox, where you are very busy, it's hard to be smooth and fast, given the input required.

Honestly, I would like to hear more about this.
