Ditch the whole system. Spread your arms. Lean your boxy weight in the desired direction and hum, fake airopla e style. Keep us updated on this yeah

I wish we had power steering. I carted myself off the track once when I just couldn't spin the wheel quick enuogh to catch the rear end as it broke loose. Scared the hell out of the wife who was (supposed to be) learning the quick way around the track! :)

Go for power steering. After instaling power sterring in my E21 the car is much beter to drive (I run on 195/50 R15 on front axle).

On my 315 with 195/50 R15 tyres on stand still or parking I'd rather have PAS.
