!983 RX 7 steering and brake up grade
 

Hi people.
I need know if somebody knows where sell or make a rack and pinion adapter to my RX7 1983. I want to eliminate steering box and to replace it by rack and pinion. It has done somebody it? Also I want to know as to adapt Turbo II front four piston brake caliper in my RX 7 1983? Exists some kit, and they sell where it? I will be thankful for any advice.

Www.re-speed.com has the rack and pinion kit, a lot a lot of guys on here have it, and have documented the install as well. Also, billy at re-speed is a great person to work with. Im not sure on the break adapters though, but I think I saw a big break adapter for 1st gens on there as well. Check it out

^they will have brake upgrades also.

+1 on this info well worth the money

Don't want to steer (pun intended) business away from Billy (best stuff and outstanding customer service), but with a little bit of work you can adapt a 2nd gen front assembly.....rack & pinion and brakes.

If a rack & pinion was in my future....it'd be from ReSpeed.....but if you use the search button the 2nd gen swap is well documented.

Wow guys, amazing store, really amazing, Thanks a lot for your quick help.

I have that rack and pinion kit, and the fit and finish and the direct feeling from the rack are well worth the price.

do you experience the issue with tight slow turns ( ie parking lots) that some people have mentioned ? due to the ackerman compromise on the sytem design

I did seem to lose some steering angle, however my car is pretty low and I have the control arms in the stock location on the crossmember and no turn in spacers, so in the spring I will be moving the control arms up and getting some spacers to see what I can do. Also have the RE-Speed sway bar which is thicker than my old RB bar, so I'm making contact with it as well. Will also be putting on new, larger wheels, so after some adjustments I hope I can improve on those shortcomings. Just for everyones clarification, those are thus far the ONLY issues with the rack and pinion kit. They can easily be worked around once you get used to it.

Thanks for the commentary and the advice I will consider, it.
Keep in the road...
