Inquiring about removing my power steering out of my 91 RX7 S6

Wanting to know what manual steering rack replaces and fits a rx7 s6?
or do you have to rebuild the power steering rack?
Any information would be great

"S5" would be the proper term for a '91 2nd gen.

You can use any S4 - S5 manual steering rack, with the matching tie-rods.

Or hack it and just loop the lines. Yuck.

If you want to keep the quick ratio of the power steering rack but without the power, search Google for "de power miata steering rack". The FC rack is pretty similar so you can follow the instructions.
