I have a powersteering pump and the bracket for it if that helps.

I know this is a bit out of place here but WHY? I dont get it, why would anyone want power steering on an 86?

Mate, I would've said exactly what you did a few months back, I use to pride my ae86 without powersteering. But once you drive one with powersteering, a whole new dimension is opened up (in the name of more illimination of understeer, ease of correction during overturning, and more of a range of turning circle)...
Sure the ae86 feels tough on high speed cornering without powersteering (which i love) but with the aided steering, it has the same credentials only your arms don't hurt during a parallel park!
Try an ae86 with P/S ! (if you haven't already)
Happy drifting.

hmmm interesting, thanks for the reply. I am curious what sprinters were available with it from factory? surely not an aussie delivered one? The only time the steering in my corolla or Spinter has given me something to think about was a hard long sweeper of a corner, it was then that I had to give it a bit to hold the line. Otherwise it never bothers me even thought it has a smaller steering wheel, parallel parking for me doesnt bother me in the slightest either. However I think that once my 86 has its suspension/wheels/tires upgraded I will be able to go much harder and hence more force will be needed to hold it together. You said it well audio man I need to just find one and try it.
Drift is life!

Yes, it will be a dime a dozen to find one with powersteering, but there are quite a few around with them. My mates one recieved the GT-Apex front end treatment with all the luxuries, in the name of headlights/parkers/grille and it was an added bonus with the power steering.
And YES, ONLY the Japanese delievered GT-Apex recieved the power-steering from factory to answer your query.
But on the other hand, as u mentioned, driving on a long corner does feel great without powersteering as it lines the contour of the road (whereas powersteering will make u oversteer and become complacent in position) so both have good and (bad) points!
God make a switch that can turn it off and on!
Happy drifting.
