[QUOTE="SouthernGorilla, post: 1532677, member: 29235"] My brain never stops thinking of ways to make my commute more fun/dangerous/interesting. One of the recurring thoughts is ditching the power assist on the brakes and steering. Manual brakes are fairly trivial. So long as you correct the pedal ratio and master cylinder size you shouldn't really need any extra effort. But I'm less sure about the manual steering. I've had cars with manual steering before, most notably a MKI MR2. But that was a light, mid-engine car with hardly any weight up front. My GT is my daily, not a gutted racer. So I'm not entirely convinced manual steering would be tolerable in typical daily driver scenarios like parking. Especially once I get around to adding wider tires. There's also the question of whether or not my wife could even handle it. It's too much fun watching her drive it to take that away. Anybody running a manual rack on the street? [/QUOTE]
