Question about your car. You mention removing the ps pump. Did you go electric, convert the rack, or use a manual rack? How's it drive?
Yeah, there are quite a few stories floating around about the debacle.

I removed the stock pump. Installed the electric cup/rsr style unit in the front trunk. It drives great! With the big slicks on the front, the steering still feels very similar to my stock street car. I thought I would hate it, but it gives enough feedback, and the lower effort is nice on the hot three day weekends.

Edit: there is a picture of the elec pump in the front trunk in post #45
