Thumbs up Rack&Pinion-Debut date

The debut date is set for Monday the 15th for the rack and pinion kit and all questions will be answered by us @ CP Racings new website, this is also where all ordering will be done.
I am very excited and proud of the kit and I can honestly say that the difference from stock box to R&P
is boardering on "Unbelieveable". I truly had no idea how much it would change the characteristics of the car, but on paper it proved to be the only viable choice and I promised myself that I would not put my new motor in until the car had rack & pinion steering. The closest thing I can compare it to is driving a Shifter go-cart over at Mosport...it is that precise.

ABSOLUTELY NO MORE WHITE KNUCKLE PASSES 4ME EVER ,NEVER ,NEVER EVER AGAIN!

EVVVVVVVVERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanx 2all those who have waited...cause itsa go!

The power assist would just **** up your steering ratio.

awesome, so its sounding like this would be something i want!! no power steering (YAY), cleaner engine bay (cause of no power steering), and direct bolt in (i'mhoping).

well, when i get money, count me in!
