I think you all can admit that the stock steering on a 1st gen is pretty (gay) so I was wondering if the rack and pinion system of a 2nd gen would easily work in a 1st gen.

 

Short answer, no.

Long answer, moving to 1st gen forum.

 

Just tighten the one that's in there and you'll find the gayness will have disappeared...replacing all the front end components should restore the steering to the manly-man feel you desire. Toss some 205/50s on 15" X 7" or larger rims and you'll start thinking you can beat a Porsche in the hills, by God..
