Default Steering Quickener install

So I added a 2:1 steering quickener to my '83 RX-7 race car. Significant difference in effort to make the car turn. The power steering suggestion is being investigated. The most difficult part of the project is figuring out how to attach the quickener.

I would say there is. Entire subframe from an fc isn't that big a deal to swap. I have a video about it in my vlogs on YouTube

If your willing to spend some money, www.re-speed.com has a great conversion kit. There's one sitting in my car right now waiting for the rain to stop so I can finish it. It's not exactly a 1 on the difficulty scale, but it's also not the hardest thing I've ever done to the car either.
