Hard to steer because you are trying to now push fluid though a no working pump when you are turning the wheel. Remove the PS lines and it steers with ease. I am also going with a depowered Mini Cooper rack on my build. Time will tell if it's manageable, but the car is a middy also and quite light so should be fine.
Awesome, this is excellent info. Thanks!
I wonder if the rack off this Grand Prix GTP is of any use to me. I will pull it while I'm dismantling and see.
Here's the miata how-to, I've done this on one rack and will be doing it on a second most likely. Pretty easy job and there may be a similar operation for the GTP rack.
If you use the same kuckles all around you may want to use the GTP rack because you'll need a fwd rack anyway due to the steering attachment location, and you know yours will fit with the ball joints/rod ends that come stock. If you're using a similar suspension design and track width as well then it's a no brainer, flush the fluid, cap the lines and weld up the slop then you're good to go.
