Look up steering quickners , they go in the steering colum and come in 1.5 and 2 to 1 ratios .

I saw that in US, but it will be harder to turn Wheel then. also we need to cut and weld steering column

Id be very interested, knowing what to fit and where is the hard part.

cutting and welding the steering column - no real issue for my pal.

It would need to have a more powerful steering pump to keep efficiency (or change valving)

an other option could be to change to electric power steering.

It's not something I've had any experience of but I'll have a look through the manuals to see if there's anything worth mentioning..

Forgot to update this thread.. I'll work out the best way to get some diagrams for reference Lio. Not sure if they will help but at least you might be able to work out where to attack the rack.

ATM I'm thinking of a quickener, but trying to find a way to install on our steering column, doesn't sound that easy.
any picture of an ep91 steering column out of the car might help :)

I have a few columns lying about the garage floor at the minute. Sorry to promise it again but pictures should be incoming..

Steering rack & dismantling

Thought it worth putting up the rack diagrams first just to keep it all in the same spot.

Just a quick note that these are based on the 1990 EP82 GT manual so some differences may exist with newer models..

I have a ton of stuff like this so it might be time to invest in a cheap A3 scanner..

Please keep us posted with progress Lio, I've zero experience with quickening the steering but the info might prove useful in future.
