Removed powersteering using stock rack:first drive... I removed the pump and lines and drained my stock rack. left the holes in the rack wide open so air could escape when it compressed during turning. I used the BMR alternator bracket and meziere electric water pump. I only have a short belt from crank to alternator now. got the rest of the car assembled and couldn't wait to try and drive it with this new setup. so I took her for a spin around the block. As you may have read in many threads on here this is a drag setup only and is very hard to turn because this is a power rack being used without fluid or a pump. people may say you have to use your 15x3.5 skinnys up front all the time or you'd never be able to turn.
BULLSHIT!
You guys are a bunch of pussies! I have 17x9.5 ZR1 wheels in the front with 275's on them! I'm 160lb tiny guy and I Just drove the thing around for 10 mins. Yes its very stiff turning backing out of a driveway or from a stop sign. but rolling anything over 10mph you barely notice anything. I backed this bitch out of a driveway with a spool and 275s in the front in one shot. I never want to hear bitching about this again lol. the stock rack is fine if your on a budget removing power steering. with my alumastar front runners this will turn almost like stock Im sure.
