Lightening the load

[truegearhead]

Are there any write ups on how to convert to manual steering? Is it possible to just loop the rack? I image that would save 15 lbs or so and you'd loose a pulley

Wouldn't the steering be really heavy thou, like when you turn the wheel with the engine off.
Or is it once the fluids removed its easlier to turn, would be worth having a look at if thats the case.

Ok just had a look on you tube on how they did it on another car and it looks fairly easy as once you take the Boxster front wheel
off the pipes you need to get at are right in front off you.

l got the weighs of the motor and transmission off the Pelican parts web site, but i could be wrong, would be great if you
could weigh yours.

If every gram is worth,
consider removing the motors and harness moving our mirrors.
remove carpets
remove spoiler motor
empty windscreen wash fluid!
I am interested in Manual power steer too, will look forward on yours feedback.
