A1 manual steering rack



to be honest, another reason i consider this is because my current PS
setup has some issues.  i'd love to autocross someday, but can't swing
it money-wise right now.

i think i asked this before - can i just pull the PS pump and have an
unpowered setup, or do i need to change mechanicals to get the right
ratios?
