Quicker steering ratio
I havent found anything via search, so i'd like to know if anyome managed to quicken up their FD steering ratio while keeping the power steering ? I am planning on doing autox with my FD next season and a quicker lock-to-lock would come in handy....

What I was trying to imply is that having to turn the wheel less from one side to the other for the same wheel movement would be nice.
I already do trackdays, but this year I went to autox with my ITR and won the national championship in stock division today. So I'm thinking to stepping up and drive next season with my FD. And I need to change some stuff to be able to fight it for the top places.
FYI, our autox is much tighter (6feet between pair of cones) and speeds rarely get over 60mph. In the tight stuff, it is sometimes required to go full lock-to-lock to make it through...

The only way you could change the ratio would be a different rack. Good luck finding one that would be a direct fit.
Hmm, or maybe some kind of multiplier coupling between the shaft and rack? Like a planetary to multiply the input speed.
