Looped lines is a very half assed way to depower a rack. I'll keep power steering for quicker transitions thank you.

I was hoping for some sort of electric pump.....

PS feels great. I refuse to drive a car without ps again unless my pump/lines go terminal....in which case i have a backup set in my basement! ZING!

My car came with no PS. I have a pump to put back on because drifting=fail without PS.

Lines are not looped. Just open rack.

Its a piece of aluminum my friend made into that on a lathe. Girls like my shifter and going sideways in my car.

I also made the shift boot. I plan on getting full seat covers out of crown royal bags.

That's the stupidest **** I've ever heard.

BTW, where are the pics of your modded spindles? You were telling me over a year and a half ago how super awesome you are at making custom **** and how your daddy was on your case to get more steering angle.

And i shall read it again.

However, i dunno if it's worth what people want for these freakin things on ebay....

None of my local yards can help. I'll keep hunting around but not gonna kill myself trying to get it done.

Really, the extra room would be nice. I ******* hate changing spark plugs and i do it every time i let my car sit for extended period times and then crank it up. It's a pain in the *** with all that **** in the way.

with how many people that have been doing the pump swap. they're gonna just get more expensive. if you want to do it, just do it. i redid the wiring on mine. if you scroll to the last post it shows what i followed. keep it on a switch tho. no point in having the pump running full duty on the freeway or anything above 15 mph

lol, it was running an RE. I felt it was getting a little ridiculous when i had that much money and time being put into a car that ended up sitting in the garage 80% of the time thanks to numerous problems with the rotary engine. The previous owner has put in atleast 3 engines, it had a nice bridgeport RE at one point but he reverted to a stock engine since it was less problematic. After a few track days the stock turbos failed me, exhaust leaks and heat issues with the single turbo, and then OMP issues with the standalone computer. There's not a lot of info out there on OMP operation out there (the standalone used a map/table for the OMP, same as spark/fuel).

Anyway, figured i'd follow a lot of the other drift cars out there going the jz route for power and reliability - it also makes economic $$ sense. Though i've still got a half-bridge 20b sitting around waiting for a chassey

I really wouldn't know what to comment about it. I swapped cars with an fd owner one track day, i think the cosmo can be made just as capable as an fd
