996 c2 - non ps rack?

[cvega]

Forgive me if already mentioned, my search-fu has failed me.
Does a non ps steering rack exist for the 2wd 996?
Last time one of my ps hoses failed and i drove the car down to the garage to get fixed I really enjoyed the non powered steering.

What about an electric steering conversion like the cup racing cars? lose all of those horribly expensive pipes and the expense of a power steering pump at no loss of steering feel.

Can’t recall all the details but recall the engineer (aero engineer I think) who built the lightened 996 a while back, carbon panels drilled items etc. tryed to get kerb weight as low as possible. He deleted the power steering, the thread was popular on the web.
