As some of you know, my car is for drifting. its something my friends and I are all into and we love it! yet im the one with the heaviest engine and no power steering... i have to say that im quite jealous watching my friends be able to control the steering wheel with one hand when i have to use both hands and all of my upper body strength just to point that wheel in the right directions. might be over exaggerating there but still :D So just trying to figure whos done a power steering swap and what they recommend! all answers are appreciated!!

Heaviest engine? what engine do your buddies have?

Are you sure your steering is working properly? I have no problem parking 1 handed, for drifting the steering should be free spinning anyway :lol: what tyres are you running? your box could be worn or adjusted wrong.

to swap to manual steering you'd need to find a donor FB with assisted steering (rare), or do the FC subframe swap.
