I've been wishy-washy between the two - replacement with an Escort Pony manual rack or just looping the lines together on mine. I called every junkyard in the area this morning and noone has a Pony - they're kind of rare.
I can get a remanufactured one for $350 - over 75% of the cost of the car!
I do ok with the steering in EOC and I've been told it's easier if you bypass.
I won't do an electric one - another thing that's very expensive.
I just thought I might be able to keep some PS for convenience when the car's running and have it be closer to what it's like in EOC - that way I get used to the increased effort and if I do have to avoid something while coasting up to a red light (highly unlikely), I'm ready for what it'll take.
I think next fall (when my official FE testing begins) I'll route the lines together and see how much FE gain I get, if it's worth it, etc.
Thanks for all the input, guys!!!
Matt
