Well, finnaly broke down...

no, my car runs fine. i mean i got tired of hearing how great the evos turn and not being able to make a u-turn without needing 4 lanes. so, today i ordered a new quick steering rack. should have it by the next auto-x and the price was very reasonable compared to the others i researched. i'll let you guys know how it goes and also if anyone else is interested i will check with the seller to see if he can get anymore for those interested. specs as i understand them are 12:5:1 that equates to 2.4 or so turns to lock. should be good enough without being too much to drive comfortably. driving nates V3 really pushed me over the edge, your car is **** man.

^^true. i just talked to the guy and if anyone else is interested he is willing to do a group buy if we can get at least 5 guys who wanna do it. he said he can make them for any year GC/GD up to 05 sti. so if your interested let me know or come see mine. i should have it by the end of next week. keep in mind this is not cheap. it is for serious people only but is well worth it compared to anyother rack you can buy. the best deal i could find on a rack was $1600 so this is quite a deal, but we need 5 guys.

^^yea. for the 05 sti he has to custom fab a braket to hold the older racks in place. he has quite a few racks sold with 0 complaints so we will see if it's good stuff. my rack is being pressure tested before being shipped so i will have it in hopefully in 2-3 weeks.
