Trololol

Just mean with my vmw the steering was insanely heavy so the lude feels like a butterfly in comparison, assuming the s2k electric rack would feel lighter again?

I've deleted the power steering system. Still have to do the complete manual conversion ( looped the lines)
This deleted the pump, lines and cooler. And improved the feel.
But turning the wheel with no/low speed is horrible.
The electric conversion will be slightly heavier but will help the low speed problems.. Especially when I start running 255 wide semislicks :mrgreen:

So... Still interested as long as it doesn't decrease the feel on the track.
