I did the same thing as kturner but mine is a Howe 2:1. Cut, welded on the splined couplers and reassembled. I haven't given it a try yet, but a cooler is definately going in.

It was done in a couple evenings, majority of the time was spent on how to do it. It's definitely easier if the end product has the same overall dimensions, if it fails a stock column will swap right in.

funny how it went from
"we don't need no stinking quickeners"
to "quick, all 15 of us need quickeners in there TOMORROW!"

I'm working on my corolla this weekend.

Used a similar setup, but 3 bolt for our Civic.

Just needed to turn some stuff on a lathe, was pretty easy to make a bolt-in setup.

Curious as to how a steering quickener feels in the car when you're going 100mph on the freeway.

Can you change lanes by just thinking the thought in your mind?

IMO you can do without a quickener and go just as fast (in RX at least), the advantage is a lower work load behind the wheel and being able to correct faster. I do like the lane changing with my mind thing though.
