a mate of mine from oop north did this to his xr3i, but other than the fact he said he's just swapped teh bits over from a very early 1.6 mk5 that had power steering i'm not sure what else he did for the conversion

but this was years and years ago and i've not seen him for about 3 years so can't even ask him what was what, all i know is that he bought the power rack set up from the car and went up and botled it in
