interesting, never thought of that. You effectively decreased your steering ratio, increase feel. You might go through racks faster because of the smaller lever arm but I doubt that is much of a concern on tarmac. Any other negative side effects? Good Idea!

this is not my car but this is what i did
so much more steering angle its amazing
the only neg side effect is the knuckle could be weaker and unsafe but my car is not a street car any more so i feel okay with having them like this.

i had to take my underdrive pully off because it could not spin the power steering pump quick enough

Nice.

That method works during a pinch when four wheeling if you get a tire that comes off its bead.

Starting fluid most likely. Aerosol hairspray and other flammable aerosols may work in a pinch.

I met Ryan yesterday. Great guy!
I would've liked to go out and watch that event, but I didn't even know it was going on. Congrats to bmxkelowna and Drift Union.
