*GWB654* · 12-04-2008, 11:09 PM

is there an ETA of when this will be ready for sale??

*hotlavaflow* · 12-12-2008, 08:10 AM

I'm hoping soon. It looks like progress has slowed. Any new news guys?

xs240 · 12-13-2008, 07:24 AM

Any news on this?

*hotlavaflow* · 12-23-2008, 09:36 PM

C'mon guys my brother was helping my gring down the A/C compressor bracket today and accidently cut the through the PS line. Needless-to-say I need this asap. I'm not fixing or switching anything. I'm straight going in with the mani rack so lets get this on the move serious.

No news from Luke on this, I know he's getting his new shop together. I sucked it up and put a power steering system together for last week's track day.

If you want to replace that p/s line with a SS one, PM me I'll hook you up.

crashtestracer · 01-15-2009, 11:01 AM

any word on this? I know that he is still putting his shop in order but is there any eta on the start date for this?

*blu808* · 01-15-2009, 11:44 AM

Jeff. I thought you were going to send a rack out for r&d?

*hotlavaflow* · 01-16-2009, 06:19 PM

Quick question:
Does a manual rack feel exactly like a power steering rack with no fluid (busted line)???

Just curious cause my arms are getting a workout with a busted power steering system and a welded diff.

No, you told me the site I think but then said you'd shoot me over a "letter" or something to ship to them with a rack :/

Nope, it's been discussed - it's much easier to drive a true manual rack than a non-working-P/S rack. "De-powering" your power rack (removing all seals and fluids) will hurt the rack, but make it much easier to drive at low speed.

*hotlavaflow* · 01-16-2009, 06:33 PM

^^^Thanks for the quick response.

*blu808* · 01-16-2009, 07:44 PM

well do you still have the rack? I can send you the "letter" on monday.

Luke

*onepuff* · 01-16-2009, 07:52 PM

Is the R&D being done in Ohio? If so i could donate my rack as my car is down for some winter work. I'm in Cleveland. PM me or reply here.

*hotlavaflow* · 01-23-2009, 06:03 PM

We have donor racks wasting whats going on?

xs240 · 01-25-2009, 01:44 PM

So what's going on? I am still interested in this!

*blu808* · 01-25-2009, 02:39 PM

Tomorrow I am contacting the company again. I Sent them an email but haven't heard back.

NightfireFC3S · 01-29-2009, 01:23 AM

I'm in. Keep us updated

DriftDamage · 02-27-2009, 04:44 PM

I am VERY interested in this! I just replaced my bad rack last year and this REFURB rack is already leaking from the core!

My RX7 didnt have PS and had the manual rack, I loved it. Steering wasnt that bad and best of all no hoses, leaks, belts, weight. I would love to do that on the S13.

240racr · 03-05-2009, 02:23 AM

What up with this? I am very interested since my rack & PS pump are going out.

*blu808* · 03-05-2009, 04:19 AM

i sent the cad drawing to the company. I am waiting to hear back. if any of you can vote. now is the time

the company is taking this serious and looking at the numbers.

Luke

*hotlavaflow* · 03-05-2009, 08:58 AM

Cool glad to see an update.

*Somnambulist* · 03-05-2009, 09:25 AM

What company in Ohio?

I definitely want one.

*SaintlyCharBoy* · 03-05-2009, 10:40 AM

I'm in pending a sub $300 tag

xs240 · 03-05-2009, 05:29 PM

Vote yes people

singlecamslam · 03-05-2009, 05:54 PM

Yes, i still didnt fix my power steering damn it.

zorak · 03-06-2009, 06:11 AM

i remember this thread, mine just started leaking today, rushed in today and voted.

240racr · 03-06-2009, 03:56 PM

I dont understand people that vote "I would rather have power steering. " or "No. why bother? "

This is exactly what I have been wanting ever since I bought my car!
