Owl Vans Grenadier Steering Box Upgrade

I personally think everyone should be required to drive in an old VW bug that's poorly tuned, has no choke and a bad starter for at least the first year of their license.

I built a Baja Bug specifically for my little brother to learn and abuse as his first car. It was a riot to drive and a serious learning experience for him.

After watching the Owl video, it seems (towards the end of the video) that he is still micro correcting (despite those micro corrections not doing anything as they are within the steering wheel play). Plus, early in the video, the return to centre seems similar to mine. i.e. does return to centre but not fast and just needs a helping hand towards the end. Plus, I can lift my hands of the wheel at 70mph and it will drive straight. So, not sure what it would offer me.

I’d pay the $2500 just to make the pump noise go away. I don’t think the steering is terrible at freeway speeds. Maybe I’m delusional.

But you SHOULDN'T HAVE TO! That should be included in the already high price of the vehicle.
