I used to run my own workshop, but I am fulltime for Toyota now and all spare time is on my cars sorry.

I did rack and pinion to my old KE38 wagon (before I had the coupe) a number of years ago. I got that thing to handle good, with the light 4K motor and gearbox, but it had no power. When I went to the 2T-G I went back to the old steering for clearance issues, and I couldn't be bothered messing with it further.

The factory TE37 Levin had a quicker ratio steering box than the normal. I couldn't get hold of that of course, but have made quicker steering by modifying the steering knuckles, making them shorter, and at a cirtain angle. Sounds bad I know (cut and weld) but I have tested this a fair bit with different setups. I get some good drift angles, lots of lock! But I admit, its probably less than perfect.

The AE86 has powersteering knuckles, and feels pretty good just like that. I will get it on the wheel alignment again oneday and test for bump steer and steering lock etc.
