well s2k owners dont complain of no feel in the steering

you could always use the mr2 electric motor so you could switch it off when your driving

Guys I have a question
@mercutio
@gb-lude

My gf had an accident in work and her wrist was quite badly damaged so the lude feels v heavy and hurts her alot

Is there a way without all this rack swapping to make the steering pish light?

Sorry to thread jack also lol

i am not totally sure but i think there may be a difference in pumps i have found some ludes really light on the steering compared to others so i dont know if there was a difference between gens

More likely to be a difference in vss than pump? Or some vss's not working properly?

possibly

Maybe fluid as well... (age/condition etc). If it's old/dirty/contaminated, it would have different properties, much like old brake fluid doesn't perform as well. More susecptible to temperature and moisture change.

I don't know either way btw, just hypothesing...

That sucks...
A rebuild pump and some fresh PSF might help.. And Well, I did a manual conversion with a friend and I am wonder if it its be possible to enlarge a passage in the system or something similar so more fluid passes through.

Does anyone have a RHD steering rack I can buy?
I want to do the conversion but rather do it with mine still on the car. So if I have everything apart I can have a look..

Might have a look at the mr2 setup as well..

My girlfriends 106 Quiksilver also uses an electronic pump.
Just a thought as they would be much more readily available and cheaper than an MR2 pump?
