Hi there,

I don't think that there will be a manual steering rack for this car( i could be wrong ) The steering will of course be a lot heaver in feel at low road speed, but it will feel normal at highway speed. The rack would bolt straight in and the power steering pump would be a simple job to remove. You will not really notice any difference in engine performance. It would take about 4 hours to swap racks and remove pump & reservoir.
