Re: Flaming river

Pretty cool. A nice option. Looks like a kit without the column is about $2500.00.

Re: Flaming river

Interesting design for the steering rack. Instead of tie rods going directly into the rack, an adaptor is used that allows for longer linkage so you don't have bump steer.

Wish I had room for a rack but there's too much stuff hanging off my engine in that location and I would have to redesign my lower steering column to clear the headers to reach the rack.

Absolutely! I already have a manual rack on my car but I see they have an electric assist system which looks nice if I ever get tired of the manual steering
