Im looking for a rack,
And i need to know what all do i need.
Any brackets? different tie rods? etc etc.

its not too bad. the whole deal is the manual rack is a different gear ratio so its alot easier.

Yea. It was just a de-powered manual rack.
(Honesly, between it and the welded center diff, it sucked. Loved it in the bends though.)
But, I have no power steering in the Miata, but because of the overall setup, it’s cake. I have no complaints at all.

i have a manual rack going into my 1g as well. they arn’t bad at all to steer as long as your not a little girl about it haha jk man but the only thing you need is the passenger side bracket. its a little bit smaller than the bracket for the power rack. i tried to order mine from biondi mitsubishi but it was “ineligable for order” but machV motorsports has them for $10 or $15

the universal joint/rag joint that comes off the column to the rack should be different too.
