Rack and Pinion

Yep, used to be the VW Rabbits making you look like a fool on the AC track... now anywhere you go its the damn Miatas killing it. Can't touch em at the club races on the turns and anything you take from them on the straights they take back on the curvy stuff. I get that, and you like what you like, but nothing beats one of our plastic pigs shattering windows and spilling 'gold chain' all over the road. Nothing beats the sound of an 8 screaming through headers.

Rats, my wife just left with the phone, so no camera now....PM me your email at some point, and I send pix....the steering input shafts were fabbed up by junkyarding a whole selection of steering shaft input parts, from minivans through cars, there is no way I kept track of what parts were used in the final install....one thing I do remember was the disassembly of the U joints so to mate them up with the shafts on the rack and the column....it was tricky to get the one on the column to fit, the column is collapsed all the way BTW.....had to do that to get the angles on the universals to relax enough so no binding...My rack is mounted with the input so high that I had to cut a crescent out of the engine mount on the rear flange, up next to the frame rail....did it with a hole saw....pilot bit centered on the edge of the flange on the little turn out at bottom....
