all these crazy combinations and yet still no non-USDM motor allowed...
While that is true of most power steering racks vs. their manual counterparts, the question I have is "so?"
really - does it matter? is there REALLY an inherent advantage to faster steering? I'm sure some manual racks have so much mechanical advantage as to be a chore to use on the track, but I've never heard anyone complain about it on a miata or otherwise. hell, some people see power steering as having an advantage over manual in the first place, and would argue that removing it does nothing but slow you down from fatigue.
I have tried power and manual, quicker and slower racks and would take quick powersteering rack ANY day!! I felt I could react faster when the back end stepped out. Although I have found that with the manual rack I use less multiple steering inputs (less sawing). My problem was I was blowing up powersteering pumps and throwing the accessory belt.
but that's just me. :)
