I'm looking forward to putting this on one of my cars, the question is: which one? Probably the blue 83 which is light and nimble.

Hey guys, I just heard from a semi-reliable source that this whole thing is a made-up farce! - The whole thing, pictures and all was just one big fat lie! Not a single one of the VW components actually does fit.
J. Oliver, Guru, Manntis, and the guy that answers the Emails at CP Racing are all ONE IN THE SAME! That's right! They're all the same person with distinctly different personalities.

...We've all been taken big time, fellas.

No seriously, I'll be needing one of these things.

Rotary vs Piston,

Are you going to be the first to try this on a ford small block conversion? I'm really interested in this not only for the steering, but also for the possibility of header room. 1 3/4" primaries would be nice....

prices yet? Are you still going to be selling the kit with or without a rack? And are the racks remanufactured or used?

Very cool product! Can't wait till it ships.

One Q: I have some play in my SE (with 79K Miles) ... should I assume that it's the steering box and this mod will resolve it? or should I dagnose further?

Thanks Jon! Yep, that was my SE that was sitting in Ford World Headquarters lobby for a few weeks as part of the Centennial activities.... It was fun. My avitar is a pic from the two weeks on display.

The actual Centennial event was pretty cool too; 3400 cars of various vintage from 1903 to 2003. I got to see a pair of Cosmos 110 rotaries, the RX-8 from the new X-Men movie, and a ton of old fords. Kinda partial to 55-57 T-birds...

Can we get an official update? Or can someone officially declare this link dead? It's been several weeks since we were "days away", but frankly, I'm tired of checking this link. I'm interested in the product, but if it's dead, someone needs to call it...

I don't believe it really exists. I'm putting it in the closet with the toothfairy and santa claus.

I agree that the time fame is way to long between updates. I understand it takes time to make a good product, but, he has said it is physically made, and I think it is taking to long to market! Essspecially for the people that just want the kit with rack not included. If that is ready, sell it, do the package deal at a later date! I want to start tearing into my steering, but I can't until this product materializes.

PS: that signiture is damn funny Defprun

can we get an updated estimate on cost?

i'm glad this is gonna happen, because now that my front suspension is tight, i have no tolerance for this crap steering of mine.
