<_< Has anyone heard of or seen any Rack & pinion conversions on a first gen? I love my 85, but I also have a Protege 5 and love the rack & pinion.

Never seen one done, it'd cost a mint.



If you don't have power steering and you want quicker response you can get a power steering steering box and replace the non PS box with it. You have to fill it with PS fluid and route the lines back into themselves. Much faster.
