IT looks cool... but is it worth it? I would get it in an instant if it had power steering option... has anyone bought it and installed it in???

 

I placed my order a week ago, but it still hasn't shipped yet... has anyone else ordered one yet and if so, how long did it take to get it? I ordered the stage 2 kit.

 

Chris Is a good guy you'll get your stuff but it will take a while 2 weeks to get my strut bar 3 weeks to get my roll bar but cheap prices Good Quality. ASE master let us know when you get it I'm gona buy one also after the first of the year We could use some feedback. Good Luck

 

There's no doubt that the kit is a quality unit, as CP racing and JDuncan spent quite a long time testing and developing it. I don't really think that the kit is necessary myself, when the steering box that is on our cars can be adjusted and most of the slop removed. The ratio on the rack isn't that much tighter than the SE box anyways, IIRC.

 

you can get a GTI rack and it will shorten the ratio.

 

2 1/2 weeks and waiting for it to ship.

 

anyone have an opinion about it having a power steering option... adjust the steering box all you want... but days later the slop comes back...

 

I agree I am willing to take a $ 500 gamble that high speed, down hill, Using the force While Driving Sucks.
2 and a half weeks dont worry you'll get it. He takes a while, must be A Kanuck Thing We cant Understand

 

Is it just me or can that yankee jimmdog not spell Canuck correctly?

Must be a yankee thing

what's a canuck??

 

I adjusted mine in May of this year - slop has not come back. Do it right and you will have good results - at least I did. If your's is just plain worn out, that's a different matter.

 

My steering box is fine, it's got about 1" of travel at center. I bought the rack kit for steering feel and the quicker ratio.

Now at 3 weeks and waiting for shipment.

How did you get the worm shaft locking nut loose? Did you remove the column from the car, use a chisel, or what? I can't get a good angle on mine from above and from below I can't get enough force to dislodge it. If you used a chisel, did you get it off with one blow or with many?

 

Theres one on e-bay with everything included

 

If the slop comes back, you either didn't tighten the lock nut good enough OORRRR.....you tightened the play in the box too much and you've effectively killed the box,,,,she'll ne'er be tight again, Cap'n!!...

 

100% correct!!! mar3!!!!!

 

yeah... i tighten mine about 2 months ago and i tight her up real good, but it came back... and i sort ah lost power... but that's just me... anyways... doesn't anyone have an opinion on the cp rack having a power steering option...

 

The rod that my steering wheel goes onto somehow is able to come out and in causing unsafe repercussions i believe. It all happened when i was installing my other steering wheel and the rod just pushed in and i could barely get my steering wheel on. When i did get it on i pulled back and the steering wheel came out again 2 " too far this time. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix or does the CP rack and pinion kit replace this mess?

that's the first i've read about it... but yeah changing your steering box would help...

 

What I did was chisel at 90 degrees to first get a good notch and the a couple of good whacks counter clockwise to loosen it.

 

ZachstylezRX7 Someone correct me If I am wrong but
the steering wheel is designed to break loose in an accident. I think there is a small plastic retainer clip
some where on the steering shaft or box. I have heard
of this happening before. I think you can just use
a cotter pin to fix it

 

I don't recommend a chisel for hammering it off (I've seen guys cut the nut right off doing that). I did use a chisel to cut a small notch in the lock nut and then used a large punch (in the notch) to loosen the nut. When resetting the preload, do it in very small degrees or you will over tighten and the box will wear quick. This job requires a lot of pateince - small adjustments, test drive, adjust again - and so on

Boy, all that sounded perverted.
