Looking online, I can only find the ratio listed as 17.8:1 (2.7 turns lock to lock) - anybody know if that's the US ratio or the one everyone else got?
Why do you want to change it - is it that much of an improvement? Have you driven both?
Embrace the car for what it is, a US spec. car.
The more important changes to make are to upgrade the diff and box but wouldn't get bothered about modifying the rack personally.
Is there a UK supplier for the knuckles? So far cheapest I have seen them is the Zstore store at $300...not cheap for some cast knuckles!
I have driven LHD American and European, RHD British, Japanese, Australian and South African S30s. Some on skinny factory spec. tyres but most on wider after market alloys and never noticed a difference in driving................
So, the message is: embrace it for what it is, but don't embrace it for what it is...
Well I certainly have, do you 'work-out' ?
