<VV> RACK AND PINION ON VAIR

[Bryan Blackwell]

Sounds like a neat project Tim.  I agree, with new steering boxes  
available I don't think on a street car it would be worth it.  For a  
competition car where you want to fix the bump steer you're already  
modifying the steering anyway, and as Seth pointed out a fuel cell  
solves the issue of the gas tank being in the way.  I don't think  
there's enough improvement in the feel (a Corvair's manual steering  
is pretty good in that regard) that it would be worth doing.
