I would really like to get an unbiased review if it truely is worth converting to a true manual rack. Ive had mine looped for years now and love the feel over the p/s. I just cant get over the cost of a true conversion when it works so good now. I feel like its one of those mods that people spend a ton of money on, then glorify it due to the expense/hassle they went through to get it.

And the aftermarket rack (atomic rex?) had a lower steering ratio so it has even faster steering response. To me the stock ratio seems good, it could be improved with a smaller steering wheel for that matter. I just cant see myself spending thousands of dollars on a steering rack for a faster steering ratio.
I'll be sure to do some sort of writeup when I convert my rack. Though the miata site already has a really good writeup. I plan on welding up the quill and removing the seals, maybe slap some fresh paint on there if I'm not in too much of a hurry.
