Obviously "stock car" orientated

Thats interesting, I assume it just changes the ratio?

Yeah, I would love to get something like that if it didn't require so much custom fabrication.

ah, waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles, fabrication is the best part, making things work, how YOU want them to.

I have been thinking about it for a while now. I've been busy with the engine and tranny swap for a while. I may try it come spring.

Its not that I don't think fabrication is cool, its that I don't have the tools and the know-how to do it myself.

I wonder what effects it would have on steering feel....

[panasoanic]

I wonder if it interferes with how the collapsible steering column works. I wouldn't want a steering wheel forced in the chest during an accident.

Been there, done that. Not fun.

E30s have a collapsable steering column?

[panasoanic]

Yeah, all cars from sometime in the late '60s have them standard. I believe the NHTSA mandated them.

The guibo in the steering column supposedly does have a role in it according to Gustave:
