Pete,
Have you ever had a look at a BMW 318i or M3, they're supposed to be close
for a 510 according to the US ppl.

Subject: RE: Rack and peanut steering
Hey Wojee,
I have looked into this too - quite a bit actually. I have scoured the
wreckers looking for a suitable rack to no avail. They are all just too
wide. The distance between the balljoints needs to match the original 1600
distance. The only way I can see of doing it is to shorten a rack to suit.
If you use a 240Z rack it would have to be mounted in front of the struts
the same as the 240Z?? Else you'g go right when you turned left!! Could be
a good anti-theft measure...
You would need to do bumpsteer tests to get the right rack positioning too.
Please let me know if you have any luck - I'd lerrrrve to have R&P steering
on my Datto.

Fellas,
Has anyone ever attempt to convert the datto to rack and peanut (pinion :O)
) steering. I have herd this is a more repsonsive form of steering. I have
a bluebird wreck in the front of my house and am kinda sizing up the rack
out of that. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Wojee :O)
