at a stop its like turning a ****ing cruise ship, it sucks...at speed its fine

i have a quick ratio rack going in though, so it shouldnt be too bad at all, almost like having power steering

ditching it because of the weight, and because i dont want to spend the ridiculous amount of cash it would cost to hook up a PS system to this 460....and since the brakes are hydroboost and run off power steering, i had to convert those to manual brakes

only because its gonna get 6-10mpg....other than that, it will drive fine on the street, and i intend to drive it on the street

the steering rack im putting in will make it drive just as if it has PS...3 turns lock to lock...theres a reason i dropped $700 in a steering rack
