Hello fellas,
On the old site I remember seeing a few rack and pinion write ups. One I believe someone did it on an old 70s corolla using a starlet rack and pinion. If the author of those write ups would happen to have the info/ pictures still I would highly appreciate it. I tired of turning my wheel half a turn before the car turns thanks in advance.

That was user; 20VBTPeanut with his project build topic; My 20V BT 74 Peanut

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. Time to gather parts for the summer build. I feel like its harder to find parts then it is to actually build when it comes to these cars I also found a few pictures of someone using a aw11 rack. I have no idea the difference in size between starlet and mr2 racks but I know mr2's are much easier to find. Again. Thanks for the info.

Your welcome for wat car are you plan to do this conversion ??

It's a 1972 te27. I'm also thinking about going 20v for ease of use and because I want a DD. So I might pm you in the coming months to ask about your peanut in the future. thanks again

if your going to do the swap on a te27 I suggest you just find a starlet rack its better to work with the aw is longer, I did this swap on my car if you can get the steering column from a starlet that would help to

I figured the starlet would work better. Too bad. I've seen quite a few mr2s in the junk yard. Can't say the same about the starlet though. I could just buy a new rack and pinion and stuff. Talk about $$$

I don't own an peanut

Well shoot. I feel stupid now. I read your first post wrong.
